Relationship goals

The idea of being in a relationship and making sure the passion doesn’t fade takes work. Just like anything else in life that we want. My partner and I have been together for four years going on 5 soon. It took a lot of work to get here, but I’m happily engaged. So let’s get into it.

1. Friendship

It’s important to try and get to know each other as friends first. why? Well if you just jump straight into a relationship at first, people tend to hide the real them and show you what they think you want to see and hear. When you start out as friends no one is trying too hard to impress the other, which then allows you to see a persons true colors or something close to it.

2. Compromise

This one helped my relationship so much OMG. No two people like doing the same things all the time. Your partner might not like shopping and traveling but you do. Your partner might like sports and playing video games and you don’t. You need to take the time out to compromise. No matter what the situation is. Try watching some sports you might like it. Have him/her take small little road trips if flying is the problem, but compromise no one likes to feel as if it a one way street. And remember your aiming for a better relationship.

3. Time for your relationship

You have to make time for your partner, because if you don’t someone else will. Don’t think that men don’t like receiving affection also because they do. Trying giving each other what it is that your looking for in a person. Don’t just always want him/her to do this and that while your doing nothing. It takes two to better a relationship.. Everyone wants to feel important and love, so make time.

4. A Date night

This is fun it could be going out or just finding something in the house to do as a couple. Most couples have a lot going on like work, school, kids, you name it. So coming together and picking a day out of the week, so that you guys can keep that spark is important when your trying to better your relationship. So have you a date night it could even be every other week or once a month but have you a date night.

5. Space

Okay we just had date night and so on, now it’s time for some space. Not space as in let’s not talk for a day but space as in encouraging him/her to go hang out with their friends or family in peace. You had your time together so just take some time apart so he/she can miss you a bit. Even if it’s not an outing with friends and just giving each other some space in the house. You just need some alone time, space is important in a relationship.

6. Better Sex

Have lots of it. Have you ever notice that it fixes everything or at least 98% of the time. You have angry sex, happy sex, we have nothing to do sex lol but it just fixes everything. You want to make sure your partner is sexually happy. Try new positions if you have to, new sex toys, different places, but keep your sex life fun.

7. Unplug in the bedroom

It’s just rude to be in bed with someone and their on the phone for half that time. Find something to talk about ” hey babe how was your day ” what do you think the world would be like in the next five years just have a conversation about something and try to leave the phones out of the bed. You already have someone next to you be respectful and spend the time you have with them.

8. Listen

Everyone loves to talk but no one likes to listen. Sometimes your partner had a long day at work or just have a lot on their mind that they would love for you to take the time out just to listen. My partner had those moment and I wasn’t their to listen but guess who was his ex. They just sit and wait for every and any opportunity, which is why you need to be available to listen it helps your partner and your relationship.

9. Apologize

I had a hard time doing this one in my relationship. To me I was never wrong and even if sorry wasn’t my thing. But we have to apologize when we need to it’s only a few words but with a lot of meaning. It shows that you understand where you went wrong and that your willing to fix it.

10. Be Appreciative

No matter how small it is always show someone that you appreciate them. Not only did it take them time, effort and maybe some money. They didn’t have to do it yep say that part out loud to yourself ” what my partner has done for me no matter how small it was he/she didn’t have to do it. So a simply thank you works.
