Sherri, this is beautiful, and the needs you highlight are so vital, but often, because of dynamics and patterns we’re used to, we can overlook them. Thanks for sharing this here.

Cheers,
Miche :)

@ Dustin – Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it. You’re right that once we feel heard the other things are easier to attain. There are still some people who don’t know the difference between listening and really hearing.

@ Jonathan – I couldn’t agree more!

Feeling safe in a relationship really can be the make or break factor. The security a healthy relationship offers is such a treasure, and should be nurtured and protected.

I think you’ve provided a fantastic summary of the basic needs we all have in our relationships. The thing that struck me about your list is that #1 (To Be Heard) really is key to making all four of the other needs come to fruition! When we feel we are really being heard (at home, work, with our kids), we feel valued, respected as an equal, understood and even safe. It all starts with quality listening.

Thanks for sharing an awesome post!
