Relationship Advice

Romantic relationships put our hearts on the line. In the beginning everything is rosy, but sometimes the initial spark can falter and fade. Whether you are in a relationship or seeking one, following these guidelines will help your relationship sparkle!

Free Speach

If you feel like you are walking on eggshells or editing what you say, your relationship is not verry good. You should be able to share your opinions and feelings freely. This promotes intimacy, resulting in a healthy partnership.

Validation Of Feelings

Your partner should listen to and validate your feelings. Disagreeing is fine, but you'll feel valued if your feelings are acknowledged. In an unhealthy relationship, one person will disregard or ridicule their partner's feelings. This damages self-esteem as well as the partnership. Your relationship will shine if you feel heard

Appreciation

Do you show your partner they're appreciated? Plan a surprise date or write a love note and show your partner you value them. If you are being taken for granted or putting in all the effort, it's time to take action and speak up.

Trust

Relationships have no guarantees, but mutual trust is essential for commitment. If you don't trust each other, your relationship will fade. Jealousy and mistrust undermine love, and can cause an imbalance in feelings and strip the partnership of equality

Communication

Talking is crucial to a healthy partnership. Couples with the longest relationships say their ability to communicate keeps them together. This is often easy when all is going well, and essential when all is not. If you're confident discussing difficult issues with your partner, your relationship is good.

Separate Interests

You don't need to live in each other's pockets. Having outside interests, and even spending some time alone, can strengthen your bond. the saying, Absence makes the heart grow fonder?!

Shared Dreams

A strong relationship is forged when you share goals. Relationships are investments and you need to know that your investment will be rewarded! Explore each other's expectations. Do you want children? Marriage? To travel? What are your priorities? And if you are unsure, talk about it!

Couple Time

If you need to be surrounded by other people, or don't look forward to couple time, your relationship needs help! You may not have the heart palpitations you did when you first met, but you should still like to be together. If you don't, it's time to have a think about your relationship.
