10 Top Relationship Tips

[zorafly 0]

What's the key to a successful relationship? Some might think that's the million dollar question. Sometimes it's just the simple things, that we easily forget or think are unimportant that hold the key to a healthy and happy relationship. Read through the helpful tips below on how to make your relationship go the distance.

1. Without quality time together, your relationship will not survive. Aim to devote at least half an hour a night, and at least one day a month when the two of you spend time exclusively together.

 

2. You both want to feel secure within the relationship. A good relationship is built on compromise and a lot of give and take from both of you.

 

3. Often those little things that first attracted you to your partner can turn into nasty annoying habits. Learn to love your partner warts and all. Don't try to change them into something they're not, after all you fell in love with them just the way they were.

 

4. Money is one of the top conflicts between most couples. For the relationship to work, you need to address your finances and maybe even work out a budget.

 

5. Learn to argue well. Never say something to your partner that you wouldn't want to hear said back. Just remember, the one good thing they say about arguing, is the making up afterwards.

 

6. Communication is vital to all healthy relationships. Listen to your partner and avoid blame and judgement. Don't let your emotions dictate your behaviour. Remember just talking things over can help you to both have a deeper understanding of each other.

 

7. Sort out your sex life, it may start to go downhill over the years, don't just accept it. As soon as you notice it, address it with your partner and work out why, and what to do to bring back the passion. Maybe one of your prefers more sex than the other. Why not experiment with new ideas in the bedroom. Role play, dressing up, or maybe take your sex life out of the

bedroom and try new places. The introduction of marital aids into the relationship can also help to spice things up. Whatever you decide, remember communication is vital.

 

8. Try to keep your dependence and independence in balance. Tell your partner how much you need them, but don't get to dependent on them and cling to them all the time, as that can make your partner feel trapped. On the flip side of this, don't allow your partner to think you don't need them, by going or doing things without them. Try to keep a happy and healthy balance

between the two.

 

9.Learn to forgive. If you know you will never forgive your partner over something important, and feel the trust can never be regained then give yourself, and him a break and start again, with someone new.

 

10. Don't ever think that going to counselling is a sign of a failed relationship. It can turna bad relationship around and can also turn an average relationship into an excellent one. More and more people are turning to counselling today than ever, it shows you are both prepared

to try and make things better, which can't be a bad thing at all.

 

The fact remains, that whether you're dating or married, relationships are hard. It takes 100% commitment from both of you. However, healthy and long-lasting relationships are achievable and many couples have proven just that. Not everything is always going to be perfect but if you both choose to make it work then it can. And remember it's the little things that you sometimes do that can go a long way to making your relationship work.

Tip number 9 there has infidelity all over it, am I right?I find infidelity to be a very hard thing to get over! I think that once your partner has gone looking for greener fields, the relationship will lose some of its authenticity, he won't be back into it wholeheartedly (my crazy head tells me so).But some people say they would forgive their partner if they had invested too much in the relationship already and if it was some irrational act (-sorry baby i was drunk... lol).Meeting new people can be hard if you don't have a very outgoing personality. In my early 20s whenever I got out of a relatonship I'd be heartbroken but I would celebrate being single again! But now my last breakup, at 26, I was heartbroken and not very excited to go back to dating.

Those tips are very true, specially the commitment one, because if you are in a relationship that's one of the essentials at least for me, why enter in a relationship or keep one that you are not willing to give your 200% for the other person and you?, when both want to give their best for things to work out, then you'll definitively have more chance to the things to develop the way you want... Anyway relationships are not easy but human beings can't live alone so we're always going to try to find our soul mate.

Very nice thoughts on relationship :)the 2nd tip of compromising is bit not correct because compromising in a relationship is not accepted.it will live an habit of compromising every now and then,to both the persons.understanding rather than compromising will help them out.The 10th point of going to counselor is the time wen the relationships is not working as it should be.so don't hesitate;but i would like to tell you that our friends who know us very well,not compulsorily our best friends,can also guide us like a counselor in fact more than the counselor because they will know our situation better.

I agree to all these. I really think that communication is a must in every relationship. Don't expect that your partner will do everything that pleases you without even telling him/her. Be open about anything, your thoughts and ideas and decide base on what you have talk about, don't bypass one another and respect each other.

Very insightful yet very realistic indeed, those tips would make things magical and I hope many couples do reap the benefits of living in marital bliss. In fact there would be many couples who must have been through turmoils just for not discovering the root cause for loss of warmth and passion in their relationship.It would be easier to detect the crack and reseal it as effectively as possible.

The utmost important thing is choosing a compatible partner..some might disagree and many of us have heard that opposites attract but thats not really true.Both should share atleast a few common intrests and above that they should learn to appreciate each other for what they are.After that comes trust you can never fall truly deeply madly in love with any person you dont trust because during your phase of being in a relationship there will be many situations that will demand your trust and faith in your partner.Patience is yet another virtue that is required for maintaining a good relationship.And for some fools to realize money doesnt buy love..TIME does!
