Support Her Goals (Actually)

Actually supporting her goals shows you care about her as an individual, not just as your partner. When you support what matters to her, you strengthen your relationship and show you're invested in her happiness.

This isn't about what you think she should do. It's about supporting what matters to her, even if it's not what you would choose.

1. Ask About Her Goals

Show interest:

- "What are you working toward?"

- "How's [goal] going?"

- "What do you need help with?"

- "What are you excited about?"

2. Celebrate Her Wins

When she achieves something:

- Acknowledge it

- Celebrate with her

- Show you're proud

- Make it a big deal

3. Help When She Needs It

Offer support:

- "How can I help?"

- "What do you need from me?"

- "I can [specific help]"

- Actually follow through

4. Be Her Cheerleader

Encourage her:

- "You've got this"

- "I believe in you"

- "You're doing great"

- "I'm here for you"

5. Don't Make It About You

Support her goals because they matter to her, not because they benefit you.

You ask about her goals: You show interest in what matters to her.

You celebrate wins: You acknowledge her achievements.

You help when needed: You offer support and follow through.

You're her cheerleader: You encourage and believe in her.

You don't make it about you: You support her because it matters to her.

Not asking about her goals: Show interest in what matters to her.

Not celebrating wins: Acknowledge her achievements.

Not helping when needed: Offer support and follow through.

Making it about you: Support her because it matters to her, not you.

Not being consistent: Support her regularly, not just sometimes.

You supported her goals. You showed you care about her as an individual. You celebrated her wins. You helped when she needed it. You strengthened your relationship. That's a win.
