Every relationship that would lead to marriage is one that needs to be worked on by the couple. It would require months of nurturing and constant communication. Whether you’re newly engaged or thinking of proposing to your partner, it’s never too early or too late to work on your relationship.

 

So if your desire is to see your relationship blossom into marriage, below are six tips that you would find very helpful.

1. Create daily habits

Think of it as a ritual of sorts, but start to do something regularly that bonds you together. It can be a 15-minute conversation when you wake up in the morning or a coffee date once a week.

2. Show appreciation

When you have been in a relationship for a long time, it can be easy to slip out of the habit of appreciating the little things you do for each other. Try to remember to thank your partner if they do something for you, like cook dinner, because even if they do it every day, a simple “thank you” can show that you are not taking them for granted.

3. Think about your partner when making decisions

When you find yourself having to make an important choice, don’t just think about whether it would be good for you, think about your partner also. If you are being offered a promotion that will take you increasingly away from home, think about how your relationship will fare. Or, if an ex has asked you out for lunch, think about how your partner would react to the news. Experts say that if you can’t bring yourself to even ask your partner, you have pretty much answered the question.

4. Listen to each other

It can be hard to talk about things your partner does that upset you, so when a conversation of this nature arises, stop what you are doing and listen. Avoid being defensive or angry, instead, process what is being said and talk it through.

5. Find a new mutual interest

It may have been a hobby or a talent that brought you together initially, but there is always room for more activities that you can share. Consider taking up a new hobby together. It can be something as simple as taking dance classes. Learning something new together will give you more conversation starters and create more special memories.

6. Don’t underestimate a hug

Remember that non-s*xual touching, like holding your partner’s hand or giving them a hug, is just as important to keep your intimacy alive. Touching is one of the best non-verbal ways to communicate your feelings, and every time you give your partner a hug, you are sending a positive message to them.
