Partner Strengths Discovery

Recognize and Celebrate What Makes Your Partner Exceptional

Over time, the qualities that first attracted you to your partner can fade into the background of everyday life. Research on positive psychology in relationships (Kashdan et al., 2021) shows that actively identifying and affirming a partner's character strengths increases relationship satisfaction for both individuals. This exercise invites you to deliberately reconnect with the qualities you value most in your partner and to recall specific moments when those strengths were on display.

From the list below, select five strengths that best describe your partner. Then, for each of the first three strengths, describe a specific memory or recent example of your partner demonstrating that quality. Be as detailed as possible, noting what happened, how it made you feel, and why it stood out.
