Anniversaries

Always celebrate! Whether it's the 1st or the 50th, each year together is a triumph.

Appreciation

Let each other know how much you appreciate each other. You may already know but hearing it from each other is always better.

Best Friends

Be best friends preferably before being boyfriend-girlfriend. Take time to know each other so the relationship will be a deep one. Tell each other about your crushes, dreams and problems. Make sure he/she is your best friend before getting engaged. The strong bond of friendship will help you both survive tough times.

Bonding (NOT BONDAGE LAH)

Make it a point to spend time together often but leave room for each other. Also spend time alone with each other, so that at the end of the day you could both share your experiences. This way, you stay interesting with your partner.

Changing Each Other

Don't marry an asshole, a jerk or a bitch. You'll never change each other.

Compliments

Always compliment each other. This will prevent feelings of resentment and thinking that one is being taken for granted.DateKeep doings things that you both enjoy, do them together. Make time (and love) and continue to date to keep the romance - look good, smell good to maintain physical attraction.

Differences

Celebrate differences. Never force your ideologies down each other's throat. Give up trying to turn your partner into you. Accept differences, appreciate them.

Fights

Fight with the aim to resolve the issue. Don't outdo each other. The longer you extend the fight. The more chances that you'll say something hurtful that you don't really mean. As mad as you were with your partner, he/she is still the person who laughs at your jokes & thinks you're hot.

- Hear each other out, don't dig up old issues.

- Choose your battles. Make sure the fight will be worth it & that something will change in the relationship as a result of the fight.

Flaws

Know that the perfect person does not exist. Know that just as there are things that you love about him/her, there will be things that will make you go crazy. We are only human with our own flaws.

Fun

Have fun together! This means keeping the fun and spontaneity that was there in the early days. Allow yourselves to get silly - shower together, pee with the door open etc. Being able to make each other laugh and see the lighter, crazier, absurd side is the best way to get through all the differences in personalities, adjustments in lifestyle & opposing viewpoints.

Goals

Make sure you have similar goals. It would be difficult to keep your bond intact if your views are complete opposite.

Grudges

Quit tabulating grudges. Let it off. Discuss it, then trash it, don't recycle it.

Keeping It Hot

Keep it hot by traveling to different places together. A new setting will do wonders. Always have skin contact - be it holding hands, a massage or just plain leg rubbing.

Honesty

Don't lie or hide things. The problem will only get bigger.Know Each OtherLearn each other's interest. It really keeps the conversation flowing!

Hug

A hug can be far better more intimate than a kiss.

Identity

Don't lose your personality - that's why he/she fell in love with you. Have separate interests and activities to keep your individual personality, and to be able to contribute more to the relationship.

Indenpendence

Having your own income means you're the boss in your life.
