Top Ten Things to Better and Sustain your Romantic Relationships

Regardless of your relationship’s length, every relationship needs time, honesty, commitment, and communication. You cannot make a relationship work without putting enough respect and effort into it. Merely saying that your relationship is special is only an understatement. It would be best if you worked to accentuate it and make it better continually.

Of course, we know and agree that every relationship is different. However, this does not take away from the fact that no one relationship is perfect and all rosy. So, here, we have come up with a list of tips that can help you better your relationship with your beloved.

Try and build a meaningful emotional connection.

As a couple, you need to make one another feel emotionally fulfilled and loved. There is a massive difference between feeling loved and being loved. When you feel the love, you know that you are being valued and accepted by your partner, and your partner truly understands and respects you, states Jessica, an associate with MyPlumbersChoice. At times, there are a few relationships, which get stuck in a loop of cordial co-existence. Amidst all this, the partner does not relate emotionally to one another. So, even if the relationship seems rosy and stable on the face of it, the absence of emotional connection and the involvement will only make things distant between you and your partner.

Regard conflict as normal

Perfection only exists in movies and novels. Real-life does not work like that. There will be conflicts, and there will be disagreements. Unless the disputes arise from serious problems, such as violence, legal issues, addictions, abuse, and misogyny, do not strictly throw away any relationship because there has been a disagreement or conflict. You are two adults with opinions and a functioning mind. You are bound to have a conflict. Take it as a rough patch, and believe in your partner. With commitment and trust, you can overcome all storms together.

Have a date night once every month

We all lead a busy life, which is packed with endless responsibilities. The best way to guarantee your partner’s attention and time is by having a date night every once a month, shares Anushka, an online linear algebra tutor. Your date night could involve anything from just sitting on the couch cuddling and watching your favorite movie while you order-in or going on a dinner date with your partner. See, this commitment to go out on a date night is only going to be for a night, but its impact will last you a long, long time.

Burn that script or blueprint

We have seen a lot of couples plan their relationship. If you do something like this in your relationship, there is a good chance that there will be many things that will not work out the way you want them to. Consequently, you might feel disheartened and lose hope. Many people end what could have been a fulfilling relationship because of all of these hopes, desires, and expectations. Believe us when we say this, some of the best relationships work well because they are built on passion and spontaneity. When you try to plan how things are going on, they may not end up the way you want them.

Communicate

For a relationship to work, communication is essential. You and your partner should be in a space wherein you can share your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects of life without feeling devalued or judged. This is exactly what meaningful communication is about. See, you and your partner are both not mind readers. So, you both must know what’s going on in your mind. Communication is an essential tool for the success of any relationship, comments, Sonya, an associate with TrueBlueFisherMen. 

Be transparent

There will be days when you and your partner may not be on the same page with someone, or there could be something about your partner that you may disapprove of. Trust us when we say this; it is normal. However, continually fighting about these things is not quite right. So, what should you do? Should you not communicate what you are feeling? Well, you should, but there is a right way to do it. Be patient and kind. Do not forget that you are still communicating with the person you love. So, there is no need to bottle up your feelings and emotions. In fact, it is a good thing to be transparent with your partner. Let them know when you are hurting. It requires getting things out there, even if you feel conscious or silly admitting things.

If you are the one who broke your partner’s trust, still be honest and transparent. Let them know why you did what you did. Did it happen because of poor judgment, or was it intentional, and you were okay with sabotaging the whole relationship? Whatever it is, be honest and up-front.

Physical touch

We all desire physical touch, and this is something we all willingly accept and acknowledge. It is a basic human need. Physical touch is crucial as it makes one feel loved, desired, and wanted, comments Robert, an associate representative with RazorHood. Of course, the touch does not always have to end up in sex. You need to cuddle and hug your partner to make them feel appreciated and loved.  

Do not forget the small things. 

One of the best ways to add meaning to a conversation is by actually listening to what your partner is saying. You must be so careful while you are in conversation with your partner that even if down the lane a conversation pops up, you are aware of what your partner said back then. For instance, if your partner tells you that they will have a conversation with their HR about a pay hike on Monday, remember that. So, on Monday before they leave for work, you can wish them good luck, and once they come back from the office, you can ask how it went. These are tiny instances, but they make your partner see that you appreciate them and listen to them. The very fact that you can refer back to the details and the topics, which your partner spoke, will touch them. These little things mean a lot, and there is no better way to show this than starting it with your most intimate relationship.

Sustain your other relationships and interests

In a relationship, we often expect everything from one person. We want them to be our partner, our best friend, and our tag-along everywhere. Regardless of what these romantic fictions feed you, no one person is equipped to fulfill all your needs. Hence, by expecting one person to do everything for you, you are only putting unhealthy pressure on your relationship. To enrich and stimulate your romantic relationship, you need to have an identity beyond this relationship, comments Natasha, an associate representative with EmbraceGardening. We agree with Natasha on this. Thus, you should preserve your relationships and connections with your family and friends. Further, it would help if you also worked towards maintaining your interests and hobbies.

Acknowledge each other

Just a simple thank you or appreciating each other on a deeper level is enough to make the partner feel grateful for the other person’s action. You are both a team, and you need to be supportive of each other’s efforts. Take every opportunity to let your partner know that you value and appreciate having them in your life.
