4 Tips for a Long Term Relationship
Continue to go on dates. Dating your spouse or longterm partner is underrated. Make an intentional date night, take turns planning the night. Start a ritual like spaghetti night, or meatless Mondays together. After the honeymoon phase is over couples forget to make intentional time for dates.
Don’t stop flirting or complimenting each other. Words of affirmation is always a good thing to hear from your partner. You can remember in the beginning stages of the relationship texting them compliments, continue to do that.
Make time for intimacy. However you define intimacy try to do more of that. You can hold hands on the couch while spending time together, John Gottman talks about kissing your partner for six seconds.
Continue to ask questions. Don’t stop learning about your partner. In long term relationships people tend to stop getting curious about the other person.
Relationships take work and the time you spend is an investment into your relationship.
