What are the things you do?

OlderAndWiser · Accepted Answer

1. I do things to show I care, such as getting up in the mornings and cooking breakfast when my wife must be at her job by 6 am. Or whenever we go somewhere, I stop the car at the entrance and let her out, then I go park the car.

2. I also look for things for us to do together for entertainment; tomorrow night, we are going to St. Augustine for dinner at the Columbia Restaurant, and I am looking online for coming concerts in our area. I will also buy tickets to an FSU football game in the fall, and we will make that a weekend excursion.

3. When we get in bed at night, I snuggle up behind her, rub her shoulders for a minute, then put my arm around her and go to sleep. She loves feeling me close to her, and I love feeling her close to me.

Prioritize your partner , make them feel like they are the only person that matters to you , compliment them and value them and appreciate them the same way you want them to do for you. Understand it’s you and your partner verse the world , Respect them and be honest with them, don’t do things that you don’t want them doing to you. Remove selfishness , we all have selfishness inside of ourselves , so learn to remove selfishness for them and prove you truly value them and love them. Put them first over everyone else. If they love you the same they will do the same for you

Communication and listening to men even if it goes in one ear and out the other 🤣. Agree to disagree, let him go for his goals even if he fails at least you let him try and was supportive of his decision. And congratulate him on his success, there's so much like never stop doing what brought you together keep the fire burning.

It's goes both ways, if he/she looks good let him know, if he/she looks horrible let him know honesty is key in relationships. Little things keep relationship's alive. And real love ❤️

CrazyGirl2 · Accepted Answer

Be spontaneous, NEVER be afraid to be a little adventurous, and on long drives, share your sexual fantasies with your partner.

(* Just remember, men and women are different. For the majority of women, fantasies are things that turn us on, but which we would never do in real life. Whereas the majority of men consider fantasies, akin to a wish list. Never expect either partner to actually want to do their fantasies in real life. *)

Hope this helps

Love keeping the relationship flame burning bright! 😍 My secret sauce involves mixing up daily doses of laughter, surprise date nights, and always, and I mean always, keeping the communication lines hotter than a summer in Cali. My wife and I love diving into new experiences together, be it a cooking class, a spontaneous road trip, or just binge-watching our favorite series while sharing a tub of ice cream. And can we talk pillow talk? It's not just for the bedroom; it's sharing dreams and fears, keeping the emotional intimacy on high. We also give each other space to miss each other because a little bit of mystery keeps the spark alive. Implement these, and you’ll be lovebombing your relationship back to its honeymoon phase in no time! 💖

Do things to keep it fresh and interesting

imtiaz45 · Answer

Keeping a relationship alive involves regular communication, mutual respect, and making time for each other. Expressing appreciation, being attentive, and sharing activities you both enjoy can strengthen your bond. It's also important to support each other's goals and interests, maintain a sense of humor, and handle conflicts with empathy and understanding. Surprise gestures, like leaving thoughtful notes or planning date nights, can add excitement. Remembering significant dates, such as anniversaries, and celebrating them shows you value the relationship. Above all, maintaining trust and being honest with each other creates a strong foundation for a lasting relationship.

Mr_twoface · Answer

We’ve been married for just over 2 years and continue to say I love you, continue to be affectionate, continue to do trips, have sex, do shopping and all other normal relationship habits… literally to show to each other that we still are in love and still made the right choice. I guess our key is we are very open and transparent about literally everything, even at times when our words might for a moment upset the other person. We believe its better to be brutally open rather than keep low due to feelings and emotions.

HawkPerception · Answer

It's all about open and honest communication?

Not being sexually fulfilled? Communicate that

Not enough romantic gestures and 0 effort in the relationship? Communicate that

They gained a lot of weight and you're no longer physically attracted to them? Communicate that

Not comfortable with their friend? Communicate that

Not comfortable with what they wear out? Communicate that

They're being too shady with where they are and who they're with? Communicate that

Everything issue in a relationship that can be solved needs to be brought up in the first place.

_SilentWolf_ · Answer

To keep my relationship alive, I prioritize communication with my spouse. Every day I ask him how he is and listen to him. We spend quality time together; Sometimes we go for a simple walk, sometimes we watch movies at home. I like to make little surprises and make him feel that I value him. Experiencing different things and getting out of routine also preserves the freshness of the relationship. Most importantly, we always approach each other with mutual respect and love and try to solve problems together. In this way, our relationship remains vibrant and strong.

DishLady · Answer

You have to do a few different things to keep a relationship alive. Some are fun, sweet or appealing/enticing — to keep the romantic energy going — and some are more serious, like honesty, empathy, etc. always remember to be kind even when delivering some serious point. Have a sense of humor to balance things out but don’t lose yourselves to sarcasm… and more along these lines.

JustSmiley · Answer

Keeping relationships healthy is literally like keeping your body healthy not just physically like bisceps, triceps six pack abs and damn yoo done , no. It's supposed to be balanced in order to be happy in and out. A little bit of your over coffee or tea convo in the morning. A little bit of cheezy cute comments during cooking , a bit of support and help in chores or office work, a bit a evening walks and laughter, a little bit of "aai lobbee youu " lines, those shoulder and foot massages for each other at night, looking for clues and hints of those spicy nights... It all comes from within when you actually want this THIS "together time " to last longer&forever.

b_lova · Answer

Find hobbies you enjoy together. Go on dates and talk about anything other than kids, chores, or finances. Finally, recognize that passion isn't always going to kindle like a hot fire, but that doesn't mean you don't passionately love each other.

hahahmm · Answer

1. By being a traditional masculine male and she by being a traditional feminine woman.

2. By not telling our business/conflicts to anybody outside of our relationship. That just invites outsiders to play games and weaken our relationship.

3. By making time to spend together exercising, mini vacations, full vacations.

That's the main stuff.

provokeesmokee · Answer

We have structured time together, and my partner and I also do monthly checkins whwre we can talk out harder topics and any issues as we're discovering them.

Helps that we like to keep experimenting in the sherts too. We share a lot of interests and hobbies but also have independent lives. This meams we basically have to ration our explorations into hobbies and spicy things naturally because there's only so much time in a week.

Relationships only get boring when YOU do. Every now and then try a new activity.

Make plans as a couple and figure out how to reach goals as a unit.

Don't ever let your sexlife get boring.

When you need space in your relationship, make time for friends.

MrOracle · Answer

You keep the lines of communication open, you tell the truth, and you give them the attention and support they need within your reasonable ability to give. It also helps if you bang them often, and well.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Communicate. You just have to take the time to communicate. It doesn't take much time. I'll never understand how why so many people fall into this trap of not participating in their relationships anymore. It's just not that difficult.

molonski2 · Answer
