The beauty of love is noticed in every couple depending on how close they are and how far they go together. We've all swooned at the adorable stories of couples who spend their whole lives together, and are just as much in love with each other in old age as they were right at beginning. But what is their secret? How do they manage to maintain, and strengthen, their love through the years? Well, this is what what we think will you boost up. Read on to discover the 8 tips for lasting relationships:
1. Hold hands. Next time you're out together, make sure you're in sync by holding one another's hand. A public sign of affection, Dr. Goulston advises that it's a sign of real comfort. "It's more important to be with your partner than to see the sights along the way," he tells us.
2. Always trust and try to forgive. Obviously this depends on the severity of your disagreement, but as a general rule we think it's key to make "trusting and forgiving, rather than distrusting and begrudging" your default setting after an argument. No relationship can really exit without problems but it's how you treat it that matters. So always trust and forgive
3. Focus on what they do right, not what they do wrong. Positive reinforcement is an age-old concept used with children and even the training of animals. But it's still important for fully grown adults too. So compliment your partner when they deserve it and try not to look for things they do wrong. We are not perfect, sometimes things go wrong but we don't live on the mistakes or wrong but focus on the right things.
4. Go to bed together. This doesn't mean go have sex every single night, but rather go to bed at the same time. Charles reckons that "happy couples resist the temptation to go to bed at different times" even if one gets back up shortly after. There's nothing like a bedtime cuddle! It shows more love.
5. Say good night, every night. Regardless of how you feel. Never go to bed on an argument. The gesture of saying good night "tells your partner that, regardless of how upset you are with him or her, you still want to be in the relationship. It says that what you and your partner have is bigger than any single upsetting incident." says Charlie. Don't allow your argument to last through out the day. Settle before going to bed.
6. Check in with them throughout the day. Calling your partner to see how their day is going is "a great way to adjust expectations so that you're more in sync when you connect after work." So if your other half has had a nightmare of a day, you know what to expect. And you can probably get the Ben & Jerry's, in an attempt to cheer them up. Make it an habit to always check up on them anytime.
7. Be proud to be seen together. We know there's a line between a sweet show affection and blatant PDA, but a display of tenderness in public is important. It's not showing off, but rather just saying that they belong with each other. And that's quite nice. Let people know how much you two cherish each other because love is the beauty of togetherness.
8. Say "I love you" and "have a good day" every morning. Seems obvious, but it's an important one. Saying something caring like that first thing will set the other up for their day. "It's a great way to buy some patience and tolerance as each partner sets out each day to battle traffic jams, long lines, and other annoyances." Such words are magical in transforming negative thoughts to positive thoughts.
