How Couples Make Their Relationship Successful

We all want to have that special magic that makes a relationship successful. We wonder after the first date could this be the one that has that magical touch; the truth is there is no magic; it takes hard work and some creativity to make his happen; this article will probe some key strategies that may assist you and your partner in finding such success.

The first strategy is respect for one another. With little or no respect, a relationship will flounder. To have a hearty relationship you need respect; you both need to treat each other as a complete person and understand that both of you have separate ideas and feelings. There needs to be the ability to argue with an open mind, listen to not only what is said but how it is said and finally holds each other’s needs and feelings in high regard.

Another tactic is to do the unexpected; such as leaving notes ( some could be suggestive ) on mirrors, in lunches in their pockets; surprise your partner with something they like such as the remote or dinner. The point is to show you care and be spontaneous. When you and your partner are practicing this tactic it shows empathy and support as well as developing a relationship that says “I am here for you”.

Commitment is giving your word and understanding that you both are in this relationship in happy or bad times; that together you both will work together to stay connected. Compromising sometimes is a huge part of this because you both want the best for each other and by working together you can achieve your needs.

The last strategies I will mention are passion and compassion. These two feelings are similar yet different; passion can be very powerful especially at the onset of a relationship. The expression “can’t keep hands off one another “ is a good example of this. However, the feelings of love may never change but the desires tend to fade. In a compassionate love, there still maybe some intimacy, however, the relationship is more about getting along as friends and lovers.

These are only a few ideas to help start you on a road to a successful relationship.

Good Luck!!
