"The term reassurance is used to describe a method of getting your partner to show you that they love you and have faith in you. They may do this by saying things like ""I love how much energy you put into our relationship,"" or ""I'm so proud of how well-behaved our kids are."" Reassurance is also a way of showing your partner that, even though they aren't perfect all the time, they're still lovable and worthwhile as a person. This can be especially true if there's been infidelity in the past or any other kind of abuse; reassurance helps prevent further damage from occurring by giving confidence back into both parties' hearts."
