Common conclusions
Spending some time alone with your partner is the key to maintaining a good relationship and what better way than to head out on a date night. If you haven't gone on a date night in the recent past, think why you didn't. Is it because of work commitments, kids, or possibly misunderstanding between the two of you? The answer to this question can help you figure out a way to start going on date nights again as this alone time is essential to strengthening the relationship with your partner.
Understanding your partner means everything there is about the other person, besides just likes and dislikes. Such deep understanding will help you to understand what is going on in your partner's mind and can help you adapt to different situations. It is even better if this understanding is mutual. Even if it is not, keep showing your love, and your partner is sure to appreciate you for it.
Make it a point to spend a few minutes before bed to talk about the events that happened throughout the day including the highs and lows. Vent out any frustration or anger as these will bring both of you closer together as you share and talk more.
Mutual love and respect is the bonding glue in any relationship and it is imperative you give and get both. The big question in your mind will be how to make the other person extend the same respect that you do. Well, keep talking about why respect is important and how you appreciate it when your partner respects you. At the same time, show your love and feelings in the form of respect and tolerance and over time, you're sure to see a positive change.
Ego has no place in a relationship and you must do everything possible to set things right between you and your partner. Consider talking about your differences and understand that it is ok to give in because, at the end of the day, you want to live in a happy relationship and not to prove that you're better than your partner in every way.
Doing things together is great as it boosts the love and understanding between the two of you. At the same time, give your partner some space and freedom to do the things that he/she wants and you also start doing something for yourself. Striking a good balance between your activities and time is essential to maintain a good relationship.
