TIPS FOR A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP

There is plenty of advice out there on how to find a boyfriend or girlfriend. There are also tons of tips on dating. Once you get that date, where do you go from there? Magazine articles constantly talk about to drive your partner crazy in bed or quick, nice things you can do for your partner. There is less written about actually building relationships and making them successful in the long run.

BUILDING TRUST

Trust is truly an important component in the foundation of a loving relationship. This is why it is mentioned so often in relationship advice. Trust can develop on its own but putting a little work into building it can help significantly. How can you do that? One way is to be reliable. When you say something, you should mean it. When you say you will do something, or make a promise, make sure you follow through. Trust can slowly grow if you stay consistent. Remember that it is a lot easier to destroy trust than it is to build it. By having follow through, you will go a long way to building and maintaining trust.

Even when you are having a disagreement, make sure you don't attack your partners weaknesses. The last thing you want to do is say and do things that you will regret later. Respect your partner's feelings. You should never tell your partner how they should or shouldn't feel about anything. Just because you feel that way doesn't mean that other should. Hurting your partner with off-hand remarks is a great way to destroy trust.

FINANCIAL MATTERS

If you share any financial responsibilities (which couples often do in long term relationships), you both need to communicate on this issue. A lack of communication on this issue can result in poor planning where you are both planning different things with sometimes limited resources. This can cause resentment and ultimately hurt the relationship.

In a marriage with only one person working, both of you should be involved in financial planning. To help minimize problems, put aside time each month (while you're doing the bills is a good time) to discuss your financial situation. Once you get used to it, it'll become a lot easier.

END YOUR ARGUMENTS

Here is something that commonly happens in relationships: Your partner does something that annoys you yet again and suddenly you're arguing over the same old issues. Try to realize that nobody is perfect, and the annoying behavior might not go away over night, or at all. The important thing isn't so much stopping it from happening as knowing how to deal with it when it does happen, so it won't cause constant tension.

If you realize an argument is getting out of hand, try a little gentle humor. You might say something kind to your partner, or acknowledge that the two of you ultimately share the same goals to find some common ground. If you still can't see eye to eye, take a break to clear your head.

TALK ABOUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT

Another common thing we hear in troubled relationships is that both partners seem to live separate lives. Most often it starts with a break down in communication. Real relationship sustaining communication does not mean talking about daily mundane chores or what's on television. It means regularly talking about your feelings, your dreams for the future, and even your fears.

Keeping a relationship going strong takes work, trust, communication, and attention to the things that really matter. Don't get sidetracked by the magazine headlines because the best love relationship advice isn't all about when to send roses or what to do in bed.
