Anyone who has ever been in a relationship will know that there are plenty of tough times just as there are plenty of good times. Initially, in the early stages of a relationship the passion is quite intense as is the yearning to be with each other.However, eventually this intensity wears off and this is when many couples can become complacent. They end up taking their partner for granted and things can stagnate in the relationship. This is when the real work begins because every relationship goes through this phase and it’s something we all need to be aware of. The real danger is when you do end up taking your partner for granted, allow things to stagnate, and then the relationship can get to breaking point. If you’re not careful it will be over before it’s too late. So what you need to do is make sure you maintain some of the passion, and that takes work but here is what you can do.

1. Tell your partner what you love about them - Let your partner know what it is you love about them. Make an effort to tell them at least once per week three things you like about them. It will make them feel appreciated and special. It will make them feel like they matter to you.
2. Don’t focus on the negative - When conflicts arise in a relationship many couples tend to let them get out of control. Instead, try reframing the situation so you end up looking at the positives in your situation.
3. Being more physical with your partner - Show your partner that you care and love them. The physical things very common during the early stages of a relationship are hand holding, hugging, touching. These things stagnate for many couples after a while but they are important for a strong relationship. So make sure you remain physical with your partner and show them some intimacy.

Keep working on your relationship and apply these three actions to keep it healthy and strong and save your relationship.
