Key components on how to keep your relationship in the fairy tale stage.
Stay in Love Forever!
Falling in love makes you all giggly, insanely happy and carefree about everything else in the world. Eventually, you get over this initial phase of love and start wondering as to how to continue staying in love. You might not voice it out, but the thought builds a certain worry, even in the happiest of all relationships. It is but human to show interest and find others attractive since it is against human instinct to remain in monogamous relationships. But then again, the norms and pressures of society bind us to stay together.
In order to understand how you can stay in love forever with your partner, you must understand the basic necessities of romance and relationships. Best put, a successful happy romantic relationship is the perfect blend of love and sexual attraction, supported by certain aspects such as compromise and space.
Cherish and respect each other
To be cherished is every woman’s number one emotional need. You will need to make her feel like your first priority, love and appreciate her. On the other hand, a man wants to be respected by his partner in the relationship. It is important that the man is made to feel like he has what it takes to do anything in the world. So get off the phone when he comes home and talk to him and listen to what he has to say.
Good friendship
Under this title of a romantic relationship must be the strong foundation of friendship. Being good friends with each other in the relationship helps respect and validate each other’s needs and feelings automatically. This means you must make your partner feel that, what is important to them is important to you as well, which is one of the main keys to make them feel loved.
Listen, compromise and be grateful
At the beginning of your relationship, make a simple rule; irrespective of how upset both of you are, never fight back verbally. Arguing worsens the situation and weakens the relationship. Instead, listen to what each other has to say patiently and work through the problem. Don’t forget to compromise and repair the feelings of resentment. Most importantly, always acknowledge the actions and presence of one another and be grateful.
Pleasure
A relationship is ultimately about making your partner feel good on a daily basis, for the same in return. For instance, carry home some lilies for your spouse if she likes them. It is a simple way to make her feel loved. Analyze what your spouse prefers such as physical affection, words of affirmation, gifts, help with the chores or even spending time together. Make a habit of practicing this daily and staying in love will come automatically.
