Save Your Relationship - 3 Pieces of Advice On Love
You are probably tired of hearing that it is the quality of the time that counts more than the quantity; but it is true at least to a degree. Naturally it is hard to have quality time with someone you rarely see, so the more time the better.
Perhaps your relationship is not on the brink of break up, but whether you need to save your relationship or just build it up and strengthen it you should find the following 3 pieces of advice to help.
First, write up a list.
Take an evening or Sunday afternoon with your spouse or partner and write up a list of the things you both like to do. Make 3 columns, one for you, one for them, and one for both. Place a check in the appropriate box.
Not only does this give you some ideas of what to do together when you do have time, but it also reminds both of you of what you like to do and what your partner likes to do. There needs to be some time for you each to be alone and together to make the relationship a real success.
You might find that just making the list is a great way to unwind and stimulate meaningful discussion between the two of you. There is no need to argue about anything, just put checks in the right boxes.
If you have the time, drag out some photos of previous times together and enjoy the memories.
Second, make talking a habit.
Set aside a little time whenever you can to relax with your partner and talk. The only rule is that you cannot talk about the business of life or household. Focus more on hopes, dreams, goals and ambitions. Relive the pleasant memories of the past that might begin with the phrase "remember when...".
Third, remind yourself of why you started.
When you are not able to spend "quality" time with your sweetheart use the time to remind yourself what attracted you to him or her in the first place. Was it their smile, their laugh or maybe some goofy imitation of someone else they were particularly good (or bad) at.
Then when you are together, be sure and tell your partner that you were thinking of that earlier and how glad you ended up together. Try doing that to save your relationship if it is in trouble now or to keep it strong so it never needs saving in the future.
Mention to your significant other how much you appreciate what they do for you when they do it or compliment them after they have done something for someone else. No one hears positive reinforcement enough.
If they no longer do something they used to do that you enjoyed, maybe it is because your never said anything and they did not realize how much you liked it and looked forward to it.
Relationships can be work but it can be enjoyable work. Nothing makes life better than having a strong relationship with someone you love and who loves you in return.
