When it comes to relationships, is there magic as to why some last longer than others? Perhaps. There are those who seem to let life go by right over their heads and problems while some people just sit back and sulk. It sure looks that way. Another reason is that there are those who learn secrets of success from their grandparents or other relatives or friends. And since the latter is probably more accurate, here are some tried and true tips from people who have enjoyed long, happy relationships.
REFRESH. Take time to look back, refresh your memories and share what brought you together. You need to lean back and rely on these old memories as your foundation and glue yourselves back together with them (not literally, of course) when times are difficult.
DATES. Keep dating each other. Even if life seems too busy, meet at the end of the evening for something light and easy, like viewing your favorite sitcom (record it if necessary) together or playing a game of Euchre.
FUN. Couple tend to have fun on dates, then get married and too serious. Lighten up. Head to Yahoo Games (off Yahoo.com main site) and join in any number of card or other games. Or head to a local rental shop and rent an Xbox or other game player and some games.
FORGET. You don't have to always remember the bad things that happened during an argument. It's better to actively forget sometimes. Make up and be the first to apologize. Go ahead and go for it.
SPACE. Give each other some space. Either you trust that person or you don't. Get on with life, though. Time alone and time with their mates and other friends is what people need. Be sure to give and take your fair share of space.
DISAGREE. It is okay to disagree on some issues and you should also leave it at that. No need to create a new religion or political movement just to appease both of you. You do not have to agree on everything. Anyways, you won't. And that's fine.
MEMORIES. Make some together. Enjoying special anniversary dates and events and special moments is important. No need to be elaborate. For instance, maybe watching a hot air balloon race is what you enjoyed doing one spring day. You might schedule time to watch it again the next year. Make it an annual event. Try collecting postcards with balloons on the playing cards, toss pillows, and over time it becomes a theme.
Try to avoid just sitting back and sulking. Take short steps to improve your relationships and let life's problems magically pass by while you hold on to your relationship.
By following some tried and true tips, it is possible for you to also improve your relationships.
