Tips for a Successful Love Relationship

A love relationship develops between two individuals for the sole reason that they both desire to be together for companionship; it generally culminates into marriage. Since it involves two different minds and personalities, there is always a tendency towards conflict.

Instead of calling it off, each of the partners need to work at making their relationship a happy one, filled with joy and peace; it may prove difficult at times but it never is impossible.

A relationship devoid of joy and peace becomes a dreary lifelong bondage rather than a harmonious lifelong bond. The couple may have checked for love compatibility between them before they came together and its positive outlook is likely to have brought them into a relationship but individuality always makes one different from the other.

For this reason here are some good tips for a successful love relationship to enable the two to keep their relationship alive always. These should become the pillars of their love relationship.

Love is the binding factor and manifests itself in various ways. It should be genuine in all its aspects.

1. Mutual Trust: This is the basic and most essential aspect of a relationship. Once distrust enters into a relationship, it works as gangrene and sooner or later destroys it. Both the partners should endeavor to develop and maintain strong trust between them if they want their relationship to last a lifetime.

2. Be considerate always: Instead of being selfish and always making demands for one's own self, it a good thought to consider the other's needs, likes and dislikes. Give in to the other's joys and woes.

   Avoid being resentful. Loving each other also includes giving the other room to express him-/herself. Being considerate to the other partner makes him/her feel warm, accepted and thus secure.

3. Spend quality time with each other: Good communication is a major pillar of a lasting relationship. A clear, affectionate conversation between the two partners keeps the relationship in motion.

   The conversation should be pleasant, sincerely appreciating and praising one another; flattering will reveal itself sooner or later and will lead to breaking down of a wonderful togetherness. They should take time out to be with each other, away from friends and family members including children.

4. Any conflict to be settled soon: A conflict that may have arisen for any reason should be sorted out and settled. An unsorted conflict is like a worm slowly destroying a good fruit. From outside the fruit looks good till a time when it has been destroyed from inside; that is when the ugliness inside the fruit begins to show up externally.

   Therefore, one must try to make up as soon as possible and all ill-feelings should be curtailed. Leave no room for misunderstandings and misgivings; avoid anger and all arguments.

5. Give in to the sexual needs of the other: This keeps the bond of a relationship strong. Being selfish in this aspect snubs the other partner who may begin to resent the very thought of it thus quenching the candle of love.

6. Be cooperative: Avoid making matters difficult for the partner. This generally leads to the other becoming obstinate and then the relationship begins to fall apart.

   Being cooperative in all matters builds a relationship; the partner always is sure of a helping hand and moral support when in need.

7. Handling finances with equal responsibility: Money is one of the root causes of a faltering relationship. There should be transparency in handling of finances. It is a good idea to work out a budget, have joint accounts and investments.

8. Sharing domestic responsibilities: All domestic responsibilities should be chalked out and wisely distributed; this includes the care of the children. Both the partners should know what to do, when to do, how to do and who is responsible for each household activity.

9. Have common goals in life: Sharing goals which are common for the good of one another and their progeny help keep the stresses of life shared providing mental peace to each, thus making the relationship harmonious and cemented.

10. Keep the fire of passion burning: A busy life may bring some boredom in the lives of the couple. As soon as it is sensed, both should make effort and once again give more time to each other than their other activities. Romance should never be lacking.

11. Remain faithful to one another: Faithfulness and sincerity are very important in a marriage. One should not forget that the marriage vow is taken keeping a lifetime in mind; therefore, all efforts should be made to keep the sanctity of marriage intact and the marriage bed undefiled.

    Giving in to one single temptation will haunt a partner for life and shatter a happy marriage. Both should remind themselves about the fact that there were some real good qualities in the other partner which motivated them to get bonded for life.
