What does secure love look like in practice?
Secure love in practice entails partners showing quality responsiveness especially during moments of distress, demonstrating kindness, validation, working together, being flexible, and open to each other's perspectives. Secure attachment is defined by how partners react when triggered, such as in a situation like a partner snapping at a child. To foster secure attachment, it is crucial to respond with empathy, understanding, validation, and support rather than criticism, defensiveness, or attacks. Partners should aim to have conversations that are validating, non-defensive, and helpful in understanding each other's perspectives, even in challenging situations. Secure love involves supporting each other, understanding each other's feelings, and working together to address issues in a constructive and positive manner.
