8 easy ways to make your relationship grow

Anyone who has been in a relationship longer than 12 months understands how easy it is to fall into a rut. Today I challenge you to take responsibility for the state of your partnership and use your power to create excitement, joy and happiness that will last forever.

1. Kill the need to be right:
 no one can be in a perfect relationship and more so, they're things your partner would constantly do that'll  make arguments rise.. But for the sake  of love, you shouldn't keep up with it, if its a habit of leaving shoes under the table, start arrangements yourself . continue like that and you'll be happy doing it

2. Take  interests in what interests them :
 You can love to watch movies and your partner loves watching sports, instead of buying your old DVD or TV, try watching the sports with him.. Not only will it bring you both closer, when it's also time for movies don't be surprised he might want to watch too

3. Practice gratitude :  Don’t take your partner for granted. Keep a journal of the loving deeds your partner does. Practice gratitude together while riding in the car or taking a walk. One person states what they are grateful for and the other follows. Continue taking turns until you’ve exhausted every possibility. Your relationship will thrive.

4. Keeping things private : you don't need a third party to thrive in your relationship.. That's the beginning of most relationship failures . telling friends or families everything going in your relationship, is a risk. thereby inviting different ideas which won't be too healthy at some point. 

5. Get help :  Don’t ever give up without first seeking help. That’s the easy way out. You and your husband can seek counseling when all else failed. Be willing own your own character defects. You will project all unfinished business onto your spouse. We are in each others lives to heal the broken places. Unhealed stuff follows you until you resolve it.

6 Cherish each other ; Never let anything or any person get in between the two of you. Support each other. Laugh together and grow together. I know this works. My aunt got pregnant and married at 17. They have been married for 37 plus years, have four grown daughters, and three grandchildren. And it just keeps getting better!

7.Learn to be playful and plan fun: Learn to lighten up. Choose to have a light hearted and playful attitude. Plan something you both enjoy. Go away for a weekend once a season. Life is difficult. Learn to enjoy it anyway!


8. Go the extra mile: 
Relationships are never 50-50. If you know Christopher and Dana Reeves, they were a great example of this. Dana gave up her singing career after Chris’s accident. She chose to give him everything. I believe their relationship is an example of unconditional love.
