12 Ways to Build a Strong Romantic Relationship

Most often relationship turns sour due to lack of romance and willingness to put in work by one or both partners. If you must have a strong romantic relationship you must be willing to do the extra to make it work. It’s not about the entitlement, it’s more about the responsibilities that would validate the entitlement. Romance is not forced but worked out.

Here are some ways to building a strong romantic relationship.

1. Give compliments to one another.

Compliments are a way to boost each other’s self-esteem. It portrays the feeling of love, appreciation and it fosters happiness. Don’t lose any opportunity to tell your partner how beautiful or handsome they are.

 Never hesitate to pay attention to the details of their wellbeing, by noticing a new glow, new adornment or outfit they put on and give them a befitting compliment for their good looks. Heartfelt compliments can never be too much.

2. Share a few laughs together.

Everybody wants to be in a happy place every time. Be your partner’s laughing mate, share hilarious video clips to them, tell them things that could spark a laughter in them. Ensure they smile every time they are around you. 

It’s okay to flatter them. Have fun together, share amazing memories together. Sense of humor is always very attractive. This would make them crave your presence unconsciously. 

Ensure they are at ease before cracking your jokes, ensure they are in a perfect state of mind and everything is okay with them because if they are not in a good mood your jokes would be rather annoying.

3. Fix your daily fights.

It’s normal to disagree but letting it linger for days is not healthy. Fix your problems within the day. Never go to bed with your problems. Discuss it, mend it and trash the hate. Relationship is all about love so don’t tilt the feeling. 

Critically Consider the reasons for the fight and come to an understanding conclusion. Negative emotions should be kept far away.

4. Talk about the future.

This requires love and it’s a show that both parties are optimistic about what the future holds for them. Involve your partner in your future plans. Consider your partner before you make some drastic decisions in your life. Talk to them and see how they could be carried along as well.

5. Practice free and open Communication.

Good communication cannot be overemphasized as it is important for every romantic relationship. Communication is a great way to know about one another and support each other. It helps to solve all problems and avoid quarrels.

6. Physical intimacy is a necessity.

Hold each other, kiss each other, hold hands and go on adventures together. Don’t ever hesitate to be comfortable in each other’s arms. Don’t refrain from being each other’s comfort.

7. Find new ways to connect with each other.

Find new places to go, find new goals to take on. Discover things they would like and act in that light. If you always talked to them over the phone, you can try going on dinner dates. Just do things that would appeal to them in a new refreshing way.

8. Pay attention to the smallest details.

Being attentive to your partner is very important and effective for romance. Pay attention to the little things they want and don’t want. Watch their gestures, listen to their unsaid feelings and be attentive to their needs. You don’t always have to be told everything before you act. Read the words between the lines.

9. Cultivate shared interest and passion.

There are things you both might be interested in. Explore things of mutual interest. It could be watching a sport, seeing a movie or visiting a coffee shop in the morning.

10. Speak each other’s love language.

Most times we don’t interpret love in the same way. Give each other love in ways it is best received. Some persons would prefer physical touch, receiving gifts, acts of service, quality time or words of affirmation. This would make the love more intentional and meaningful.

11. Collaborative work.

Both parties should work hand in hand to achieve their goal. Team work is the strength of every relationship. Even if you don’t know how to do what you partner might be doing you can ask them to put you through and assist them in your best possible way. It goes a long way in showing how much you value them by reducing their stress levels. Support them and be their biggest fan.

12. Keep in touch all through the day.

Staying in touch with your partner through the day is a great way to show care. Check up on them, tell them you miss them and looking forward to meeting them; no matter how busy you are, make it a habit to do so. Let them hold a place in your thoughts.
