Happy love requires a lot of patience. So easy, right? Heck no, it needs a lot of work and effort to ensure its long term success. Aside from Respect and Trust, there are few love rules to turn a spiral relationship into a romantic one. Let it blossom again just like how it started.
#1 Never take each other for granted.
To avoid future love affairs and arguments.
#2 Practice acceptance and appreciation.
Who doesn't like to be appreciated, right? A simple 'Thank You' wouldn't hurt. Words of appreciation are important in making your relationship happy for the effort that your partner have taken for you. Well, just think of it as courtesy and respect. Practice acceptance by choosing not to judge your partner. Instead, embrace his whole well-being . Always remember that there is a reason behind everything and every challenge.
#3 The three "A's"
This stands for Apology, Affection and Promise of Action. When your partner is upset over something that you've done, apply the three A's approach. Make sure to be sincere when asking for an apology. Always remember, whether it's your fault or not, tell your partner that you're sincerely sorry that you've hurt and disappointed them. Of course, accompany it with a hug or a simple & warm gesture. Promise to take an action by not repeating the same mistake over again.
#4 Be supportive!
Through emotional support by listening to their side when he feels blue or upset. Be there when he needs you. Give compliment and praise. Remember rule #2? Good! (i.e a good luck note or whatsoever)
#5 Use the word "WE"
Make sure to set goals as a couple. Be a team. Your wins are his wins and vice versa. It is one of the most important components in a relationship when you start achieving goals together.
#6 Fight Fair.
Communicate with each other and grow in love. Lack of communication is one of the factors why relationships fail. Listen on each other's side. Practice active listening. It is when you don't let his words pass through your other ear. It is when you've actually accepted what he said. Be willing to compromise. Never badmouth each other even when you're tempted to. Think before you say it. Once said, you can never take it back. To avoid making the situation worst, don't forget to make a ritual on reaching an agreement on how you're going to solve the issue.
#7 Time
Time is truly gold. Never forget to set a special day in a week for your partner. The remaining days of the week may be tiring and stressful but always spare time for your loved one, no matter what.
#8 Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice
