It’s one thing starting a relationship but preserving the relationship is where the work really lies.
I have got 5 lovely things you can add to your relationship today to help preserve your relationship.
1. BRING BACK SOME OF THE LIVELY THINGS YOU DID IN THE BEGINNING
As the relationship gets older, it becomes really easy to stop doing things that worked for us in the beginning of the relationship. To preserve your relationship, make a commitment to bring back the good things you and your partner used to share and enjoy in the beginning of your relationship.
2. EXPRESS LOVE IN A WAY YOUR PARTNER UNDERSTANDS
Your aim isn’t achieved if you express love in a way your partner doesn’t understand. To preserve your relationship, it’s really important you pay attention and engage in actions your partner perceives as being cared for.
3. TRY SOMETHING NEW
Earlier I talked about bringing back some of the things that worked in your relationship but it really shouldn’t end there. We can keep the love alive and preserve our relationship by trying something new and different in our relationship. Trying something new in our relationship awakens the love in our relationship and also helps intimacy in our relationship.
4. SHOW AFFECTION
In the beginning of so many relationships, you see couples showing lots of affection to one another but this declines as the relationship gets older. Showing affection by holding hands while you walk with your partner, kissing your partner publicly, casually touching your partner or sitting close to your partner help preserve relationships as doing all these creates a strong desire for your partner while also building intimacy.
5. SLOW DOWN AND CREATE TIME
So many relationships struggle not because there isn’t any love in the relationship but because either one or both partners are too busy to create time for themselves. You kill your relationship if you don’t create time to be with your spouse. No matter how hectic your schedule is, it’s really important you slow down and create time for your partner so you can preserve your relationship.
