1. Communication is key

Talk. Talk about anything and everything. Communication is the key factor in any successful relationship. If you don’t like something, talk to your partner about it. Also, instead of arguing, wouldn’t it be better to find a mutual solution to the problem?

2. Spend quality time together

We understand long working hours can be a problem. But make sure you give enough time to each other. Do thing you both like — like watching a movie or visiting a food festival. You could even pursue a hobby together.

3. Get over your need to be right

Accept your mistakes and stop playing blame games.  Learning to say “I am wrong” is a skill that we must all learn.

4. Compliment each other often

Don’t wait for something big or dramatic to pay him a compliment. It could be for the littlest things; just don’t hold back on genuine praise! After all, that’s what brings out the best in your partner.

6. Give each other space

Cultivate your own hobbies and spend time with your own friends too. Of course, you need to allow him to do the same. Give each other the space, and it will only bring you two closer.

7. Be friends first, and lovers later

As Rahul from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai would say, “If she cant be my best friend, then she surely can’t be my lover.” Being each other’s best friend increases compatibility — a key factor in any long-lasting relationship.

8. Express gratitude

Don’t wait for that bouquet of flowers or a fancy solitaire to say ‘thank you’! Thank each other for even the little efforts you make to help the relationship grow. The back rub when you’re tired, the cuppa coffee in the morning… you get the drift.

9. Work at keeping the spark alive

The spark isn’t going to fan itself into a flame. You’re going to have to nurture the relationship. Recreate special moments like the first time you met, your first date, a romantic getaway or anything that brings back the butterflies in your stomach. These things help keep the spark alive!
