Starting a relationship, most especially a romantic one isn’t difficult, the challenging part is keeping the relationship running smoothly in excitement and commitment.

Research has shown that most individuals end up dissolving their romantic relationship a few days after its initialization - simply because of the inability of both partners to keep up with the necessary things they should do in making the relationship work.

As an individual, most especially a man who has just initiated a new romantic affair with a lady, it then becomes important to conform to certain practices that will guarantee the sustainability of the relationship. Below are some of them.

1.     Communicate consistently.

 
An exciting and active communication is the measure that is needed in keeping the new relationship healthy and enjoyable. Building an active interactive life with your new partner will make you both become more acquitted with each other’s interests, family background, personality, likes and dislikes and other important things that are necessary for the growth of the relationship.

2.     Find out your partner’s hobbies and relate with him or her accordingly.
Knowing the hobbies and interests of your new partner is another important element in building a long-lasting relationship. The reason behind this can be related to the fact that; knowing what makes your partner happy will make you respond positively and accordingly to achieve more fun and togetherness in the relationship. For instance, showing a positive and active interest in sport which happens to be your partner’s hobby will help build an atmosphere of togetherness and affection.

3.     Make out time to explore outdoor adventures together.
To add to the fun, you both should consider exploring different outdoor adventures together. For instance, you both can decide to visit the beach, amusement park, cinema, zoo, museum and other places that are in your partner’s line of interest. Doing this consistently will improve the quality of the relationship significantly.

4.     Talk about each other’s future goals and aspirations.

 
Never ignore the place of talking about each other’s short and long term goals. The rationale behind this practice is to ascertain your level of compatibility. Being romantically engaged to an individual whose plan or goals contradicts and is equally detrimental to yours can amount to future dispute and clash of interest, that is the more reason romantic partners should never undermine a subject of this sort. 

5.     Avoid asking sensitive questions; at least not yet.
Asking questions is important in a new relationship, however; caution should be adhered to when choosing your kind of question. Asking sensitive questions regarding a lady’s sexual integrity or privacy is one style of question that might turn most ladies off instantly. Remember, you both aren’t fully accustomed to each other, that is the more reason you have to be mindful of the question you ask.

6.     Set clear boundaries.
The idea of setting clear boundaries in a new relationship isn’t to instigate emotional tension or disunity, it is aimed at maintaining one’s dignity and creating terms your partner will understand and relate with accordingly. For instance, revealing to your new partner your distaste for alcohol or keeping late nights or usage of curse words, will make him understand the things you dislike and relate with you in that fashion.
