1. Keep the romance alive – Don’t allow routine to take over
In the beginning there is no limit to your passion. Spontaneity is there, fun and frisky fantasy rules. Over time however, we get busy with work, kids, house chores and we are just too tired, too stressed and too busy to realize that we have forgotten intimacy as part of our life.
Date nights are great but don’t forget how much you both enjoyed those wild moments out of nowhere.
2. Make your partner laugh,
Be goofy, be silly, be quirky, be whatever it takes to make you partner laugh. Some of the best nights when you are married aren’t the nights out on the town or the fancy dinner. Instead, it is those random moments when it is just the two of you goofing off and giggling.
3. Get over your jealousy
In this day and age men work with women. Women work with men. We are more apt to have friends who are of the opposite sex and who aren’t. Your partner married you. And that counts for so much more than we can realize sometimes.
4. Communicate
Over time we are just so tired. There is less and less time for a heart to heart conversation. Yet when we start holding in our resentment or our anger or our pain it festers and slowly poisons a relationship. You need to communicate with one and other, to keep the lines open.
5. Be the first to apologize
It doesn’t matter who started it or who is wrong and who is right. In the heat of the argument, you probably said some things you shouldn’t have, things you didn’t mean. It takes two to fight and it takes two to make up.
Don’t sit around waiting for the apology you feel you are owed. Instead, be the one to say I’m sorry first. Once you have apologized you are more likely to get an apology in return and more likely to have your partner really hear your side.
6. Never blame your partner
Don’t blame your partner for the things that go wrong. And, don’t turn your arguments into a competition. IF they said something mean and you said something means back. They are responsible for what they said. But, you are responsible for what you said. You control your emotions, reactions, and behaviour
