Whether you are single, dating, engaged or married, relationships take work. One thing that will give you an advantage in the game of love is to soak up all the wisdom from the advice we are about to give you. So here are few tips to help you uncover the key to long-lasting happiness
- Always show appreciation
As the saying goes “Saying and doing small, simple expressions of gratitude every day yields big rewards”. It is proven that when people feel recognised as special and appreciated, they become happy in that relationship and be more motivated to make the relationship better and stronger
- Don’t belittle your partner
As cliché as it may sound, it is important to never take advantage of your partner. Everyone has their own breaking point, so no one will tolerate being taken for granted. If you belittle your partner, they might be triggered to end the relationship. Don’t assume that just because things are fine with you, so is your partner. No relationship is perfect.
- Find someone with similar values
Partners should be sure that their values match before taking their relationship to the next level. The more similarities you have, the more your love will last long. By similarities we mean education, personality, hobbies etc. We also know that some differences can be tolerated and accommodated, no matter the situation, commit to making it work.
- Take care of yourself first
No relationship can be successful if don’t feel good about yourself, both inside and out. Know what you want and then go for it. Know your worth and never accept less than what you deserve.
- .and often
Let the genuine praise flow freely, both of you are there to make each other feel like their best selves. You like her hair and makeup? Tell her. You like his outfit today? What are waiting for? Go ahead and tell him. Acknowledge each other’s positive actions.
