How to Build a Long Lasting Relationship:

Building a long lasting relationship can be a great challenge for some couples. A long lasting, solid relationship is what everyone dreams of. But some couples forget to put their relationship ahead of other things. Work, family, finance and personal issues can get in the middle and break apart the once strong bond. Use these tips to build a long lasting relationship full of love and strength.

 Make time for each other whether it is going out with friends, attending a sporting event, going to a social function or cuddling on the couch. We tend to forget about spending time together when we fall into the hustle and bustle of life. We have to learn to cut off from work when your work day ends and relax and share time with our partner.

 Reach out and touch your partner. An important key to a long lasting relationship is affection and loving. When your partner least expects it, reach out and hug or kiss them. Do this spontaneously and frequently.

 Tell your partner how lucky you feel to have them in your life. Couples forget to tell each other from time to time how truly important the other is to them. Speak out and express your love when you can and tell them how much you care.

 Give your partner space. Just as much as we need time together, we also need space. Give your partner the space they need, when they need it. Sometimes we need time to refresh our minds and if our partner respects this space, we can build and strengthen our relationship.

 Start over. Some couples are able to do this and achieve a 'new' feeling again within their relationships. This feeling is achieved by forgiving and forgetting the past and the mistakes both of you have made. Wipe the slate clean and begin again with light flirtation.
