5 WAYS
TO KEEP YOUR RELATIONSHIP ALIVE
Got a good thing going with your girl? Tap into these five
science-backed
relationship strategies so you don’t screw it up! Here are the
best strategies to include in your
relationship game plan:
1. Clear
the air. Talk about whatever’s on your mind; even if it’s
just that you’re annoyed she left her makeup all over the bathroom counter.
Putting it off will only force you to bottle up emotions and that could lead to
passive aggressive actions later on.
2. Get
happy. If you’re pissed off, chances are your crappy mood
will rub off on everyone around you, including your girlfriend. Sure, sometimes
bad moods are unavoidable, but do your best to stay positive especially on date
night.
3. Divide
and conquer. Who knew that simply divvying up chores could help
your
relationship? Taking part in shared responsibilities reminds her that
you’re committed—and it gets things around the house done a heck of a lot
faster which will make her even happier.
4. Mix
it up. Of course you love your one-on-one time with her, but
including friends and family in your activities can actually help you
out as a couple. It shows your girlfriend that you are interested in the people
she cares about and gives her the opportunity to get to know your crew as well.
5. Leave no doubts. Simply
put, make sure she knows that you are 100% into her—and not just for her looks.
Encourage her to achieve her own goals and lend support whenever she needs it
most. You don’t have to make an elaborate production out of building her up; a
sum of small daily gestures should do the trick.
So, what’s the end result of all these rules? A rock solid
relationship. If it all sounds like too much to take on at once, don’t panic.
Just start with one strategy and build your way up. so one may be enough!
Fights over dirty dishes and leaving the toilet seat up or down will still
ensue, but in the long run remember that it’s the effort that counts.
