Relationships are complicated things. Sometimes they work other times they don’t. If you are in a relationship and want to make it last here are some tips you should follow:
1. Listen
Listen to what they’re saying. Don’t just listen to reply to them, hear them out.
2. Put away your phone
When you’re together put away your phone, give them all your attention.
3. Take a class together
A couple who learn together will form a deeper bond. Be it cooking, art or even dance. Learning together is great.
4. Learn to let go
Yes, your partner will annoy you sometimes and they won’t have realised they did it. But learn to not get mad and let it go.
5. Spend time alone
It is important to spend time with your significant other but it is as important to spend some time by yourself. It’ll help you understand who you are and what you want.
6. Thank them
When your partner does something positive for you, do thank them for it. A little gratitude goes a long way.
7. Take care of yourself
If you aren’t happy and feel good about yourself you can’t help someone else out. Work on yourself by exercising, taking care of your skin, eating healthy etc.
8. Be affectionate
This should be a no-brainer but being affectionate, cuddling even holding hands with your partner will do wonders.
9. Call each other
A phone call in the middle of the day from your significant other will put a smile on your face.
10. Breathe
Before saying or doing anything take a deep breath and then ask yourself if this is what you want to say/do. Chances are taking a deep breath will help you reevaluate what you are going to say or do.
