I have to make one small assumption if you are reading this article. You are in a relationship. Now, I am not going to speculate how good or bad the relationship is-I am just going to assume that things are going well, but you just want a little more information to back up all the thoughts you have had about maintaining your relationship with your boyfriend or girlfriend.
It is such a great thing to be in love and in a relationship. There is nothing better than having your best friend with you, to share in all the great moments of your life and to comfort you when the world seems to be at your throat. In order to maintain a relationship long enough to realize they really are your best friend takes time and some honesty.
The first thing you want to make sure you always do is to be honest. The little white lie about her hair looking great or that you don’t mind his torn t-shirt, is okay for a while. Just don’t make a habit out of this. Eventually that hair or torn t-shirt is going to be the catalyst that has both of you fuming over something that really has nothing to do with what you’re screaming at each other in the moment.
Second, don’t take each other for granted. In order to maintain a relationship you have to look at your partner, knowing that they are an individual as well as a half of you. They are a person too and not a lesser being that is always there when you get home.
It doesn’t take much to show that person that you care and don’t take them for granted. One thing I always do is tell my spouse that I appreciate them. I tell them often too. It isn’t much, but is enough to just let them know how I feel.
These are just two concepts that you should keep in mind for maintaining a relationship. If you treat your other half how you would like to be treated, then I bet you will get even more in return. Good luck.
