Do you feel like your relationship isn’t quite what it used to be? To help you revive your relationship, we’ve reviewed a serious body of research to bring you the 10 most powerful, scientifically proven ways to improve virtually any relationship. These tips also happen to be the key ingredients that go into making a good relationship work, so even if you think everything’s great, you can use this list as a diagnostic tool to make sure you and your partner are on the road to relationship bliss.
1. Make your love relationships a high priority in your life.
You might be working to make ends meet, but, that shouldn’t take over you at the expense of your relationship. Your partner should not be a stop-gap, but rather an everyday part of your life. Your decision making should consider your partner and not just yourself.
2. Work on yourself. Grow and evolve to be able to give and receive energy and love. These things are learned. If you do not have the psychological tools for this, it’s worth the investment for counseling and classes.
3. Communicate your feelings clearly. If you disagree, learn how to ‘fair fight.’ Listen and respond rather than react. Explore your feelings and then answer.
4. Do not say things out of anger (attempting to hurt your loved one emotionally) when you feel vulnerable or victimized. That can continue the hurtful feelings and cause a separation. Aren’t we always looking for healing and unity? “Un-tie is not the same as Unite.” Argisle
5. Appreciate the little things and pay special attention to the important issues. Be respectful and acknowledge/commend each other. Dreaming together is part of love and staying aligned. Do you share a complementary path with your partner?
6. Nurture one another. Enjoy flowers, laughter, beauty, massage, and good food. Take care of your health, for you and your loved ones.
7. Shift roles occasionally so that you can experience your partner’s life. Be open to change patterns. Both men and women can work and still care for family and children, or they can be primarily at home yet find ways to create and interact in the world.
8. Create family support and extended family, especially if you have children.Otherwise, life as parents can be quite challenging and stressful on personal relationships. Find time in the relationship for special adventures.
9. Keep the magic alive. Surprise one another. Avoid feeling “whelmed” in your world so you’re unable to tune into others. Be present in the precious gift of life.
10. Maintain an emotional and spiritual connection as well as mental and physical ones. The more we share with one another, the deeper the love connection.
