Love and relationships are complicated. And if you’re able to keep the relationship going, the chance of breaking up will drop by 10% each year over the first five years. The key is lasting in the relationship long enough to make it successful. But how do you do that?
If you have good communication, your relationship will be stronger. You need to do two things
very well:
1. Listen to the other person
2. Develop empathy
You need to be compassionate and really get a sense for what the other person is feeling.
Struggling with empathy? One of the easiest ways to really learn how to communicate and see the other person’s perspective is to put yourself in their shoes. Sometimes, even putting yourself in their shoes may not help. There are times when you might not see the person’s point of view. And that’s 100% fine. You can still have compassion for what the person is feeling even if you don’t fully understand.
Romantic dates are only a small part of relationship. You should also try and find a hobby or activity that you enjoy doing together. You can exercise together, stargaze, collect coins or learn a language together. These fun, innocent activities can help make your relationship last.
If you’re the type of person that enters a relationship and completely ditches your friend circle, you need to rethink what you’re doing. One of the best ways to maintain a strong relationship is to continue going out with friends. Everyone needs their space. You may want to get out and reminisce about the past with your friends, and your partner should have the same freedom.
If you fail to make time for your relationship, it will eventually fizzle out. You need to compliment the other person, plan dates and continue taking time out of your normal, crazy schedule to spend time with your partner You can plan romantic dinners, go to the movies or even cook at home, but be sure to continue making time for your relationship. The matchmaking services can do this job for you.
You should learn to say sorry when you’re wrong and forgive when the other person is in the wrong. A lot of fights can be settled with a simple “I’m sorry,” and as far as forgiveness is concerned, if you hold on to the anger, the relationship will be riddled with animosity. A sincere apology can help you build a strong relationship.
Everyone needs some support, and relationships last if you’re supportive through the good and bad. Try to appreciate the person’s perspective and even motivate your partner when they’re not motivated. A little support can go a long way in helping your relationship grow and last.
Love and relationships require work – a lot of it. If you’re willing to put the time and effort into your significant other, you can make the relationship a success. The tips above are a good starting point for all relationships and should continue to be built on as the two of you remain a
couple.
