Few tips and hints on how to ''flame on'' that flicker of a relationship. Well, these are just a few tips or rather rules that I found on the web that we might just find useful to have a strong relationship with our partners. mind you- the best tips always come from learning the from the mistakes of the past, and to stop them from happening again... cheers
**1 Take your relationship as if it's your job - I mean try your best to love your partner as a lover, a friend, the only one.
**2 Think from your partner’s perspective when it comes to matters of the heart.
**3 End an argument as soon as possible and never go to sleep mad at each other - even if hugging or kissing each other is the last thing on your mind.
**4 Make love regularly - But never allot times for it. Scheduling a time for sex makes it a chore that can start to become a bore.
**5 Communicate with each other and grow together in love, but never grow apart with lack of communication as the years pass by as it is always the KEY.
**6 Learn to give space to each other to become better individuals. Even the closest of relationships need some alone time to miss each other now and then.
**7 Never take each other for granted. This is the
easiest way to fall prey to affairs and arguments.
**8 Say a white lie when you need to, especially if it’s a little lie that won’t change your relationship, but will make your partner feel happy.
**9Never shy away from positive criticism - As long as you say it in a constructive manner, it’ll help your partner become a better person.
**10 Be the shoulder to lean on, no matter what. Tough times are the most testing phases of a relationship. Stand by your partner, and when thestorm ends, love will shine brighter.
**11 Never argue in public, but indulge in public display of affection.
**12 Date each other even if you’ve been togetherfor years. It keeps the love alive.
**13 Look sexy for each other, and that includes a flat tummy. Just because you’re in a relationship doesn’t mean you should let yourself go and look shabby.
**14 Compliment your partner, even if it’s a regular chore or habit. Compliments are the best way to thank a special someone for the effort they’ve taken for you, however small it may be.
**15 Celebrate the special days. Birthdays and anniversaries may repeat itself too many times, but it’s these milestones that create memories.
**16 Never intentionally try to make your partner feel bad or look bad. It’ll leave a lasting scar that can hurt the relationship.
**17 Learn to forgive without holding grudges. As hard as it may be, forgiveness is one of the qualities of true love that matters most in a relationship.
**18 Respect your partner wholeheartedly.
**19 Understand that your partner can have crushes on others too. It’s a difficult thought, but if you admire someone else, so can your partner.
**20 Trust your partner and your instincts, even if others say otherwise.
**21 Never grumble or badmouth each other even if you’re tempted to, out of anger or frustration.
**22 Learn to spend quality time with each other. There’s no better way to fall more in love with each other as the relationship grows.
**23 Behave like children now and then. A few pillow fights or cute wrestles can never hurt anyone. But it can help both of you enjoy the relationship.
**24 Be spontaneous with your affections. Don’t always wait for special occasions or moments to express your love. Spontaneous surprises are always happier than planned surprises.
**25 Be each others best friend.
