Tips for maintaining a cool relationship:
Spend it together, but don't suffocate.
That initial chemistry is magical, isn't it? You don't even get tired of being with that person, even if you've been together all weekend. The key to maintaining that feeling is to keep spending time together, but don't forget about your friends, family, or to send a message to your boss (before she asks for it, you know how they are).
2. Don't focus on the differences
Look, no one is the same, no way. Especially not your partner. They probably even fell in love because of their differences, so you better accept them and learn from them. That way you'll discover new things and, who knows, you might even surprise yourself.
3. Find your middle ground
Accepting your differences is great, but finding things that make you laugh, enjoy and be together is the secret. Something as simple as cooking together, watching a show, or going to the market may be just what you need.
4. Always respect each other, no matter what.
Look, if there's one thing couples who have been together for years and years say, it's that respect is key. If they respect each other, there will be no distance or time that will separate them. Creme, it's what makes you believe in your partner, even more than you sometimes believe in yourself.
5. Confidence and patience, morro
Trust is earned, and if you've had your heart broken before, I know, it's complicated. But if you find the right person, you'll feel you can trust them from day one. Respect each other, and that trust will grow on its own.
6. Love yourself first
Before you love someone else, you have to learn to love yourself. Don't put that burden on anyone else. Once you accept and love yourself as you are, it is easier to love and care for another. And it's contagious!
7. Talk to each other, dammit!
Communication is the foundation of any great relationship. If you're having a bad day, don't expect your partner to guess. Say it, but say it right. Be honest about what you need and learn to listen too.
8. Grow together, not apart
Finding your soul mate does not mean that you should abandon your dreams and goals. On the contrary, they should be motivated to achieve them together. After all, what could be cooler than to come home after a hard day and have a are you greeted with a smile?
9. Intimacy is not only in bed
Physical contact is key, But that's not all it's about. Holding hands, hugging, kissing, it all counts. Those little details keep the flame alive.
10. Not everything is physical, there is also the emotional
True intimacy is in the little day-to-day details. Like when they make your morning coffee or make sure you don't go out without your sweater. Don't let these little things go unnoticed.
11. Expectations: have them, but low.
They won't always be flying out of love. There will be good days and bad days. That's life. Don't set expectations that even you can't meet. Rather enjoy the moment and whatever comes.
12. Learn to forgive and swallow your pride.
Love is knowing when to keep quiet instead of saying "I told you so". We all make mistakes, so when your partner makes a mistake, learn to forgive and move on.
Remember: tango is danced as a couple.
You may be doing everything right, following every tip to the letter, but if your partner isn't on the same page, there's not much to do. Sometimes, no matter how much you want it to work, it just doesn't happen.
If so, no way, learn, grow and move on. And when you're ready to get back in the ring, you know where to find more tips and tricks for navigating the world of love.
