Has your relationship become a bit sour? what are the things you can do to bring it back on track? An old saying of ” ‘familiarity breeds contempt’ is true as over time, your relationship can start having issues and can eventually break down but if you don’t want your relationship to be like that here are few things you should learn to stop doing so as to bring back love and happiness into your relationship.

Don’t get even: “If someone has hurt you, hurting them back won’t make things get any better, drawing a line under an unfortunate episode in a relationship is the first step to moving on, taking revenge and getting even will only prolong the argument, so learn to forgive, forget and move on”.

Accept that you aren’t always right: “No one can be right all the time and having the grace to back down when you are wrong, even when you think you are right, can nip an argument in the bud, if neither party is willing to give in, even a little, then the dispute will never be closed and will fester and even just politely agreeing to disagree can bring an end to a bitter dispute”.

Don’t hide problems from each other: “One of the best relationship advice is – be open with each other and maintain great and honest communication, it’s always a temptation to hide your own problems from your partner; you don’t want them to worry, you don’t want to burden them with it but, when it comes down to it, you should be there for each other and, as they say, a problem shared is a problem halved because if you keep it to yourself you won’t be able to completely hide your worry and your partner may begin to think that it is they who have done something to upset you”.

Stop being complacent: “Complacency is the worst enemy of a happy relationship, so, you’ve been together for a while; you’re comfortable together, you get on well, you don’t argue much, so everything’s fine, isn’t it? but don’t take things for granted, everyone needs to be told that they are loved and sometimes the little things like making some effort on your partner’s birthday, rather than just grabbing a gift on the way home from work, can make all the difference”.

Don’t be too busy to be together: “In this busy world that we live in, you have to make time for each other, reserve some time just for the two of you: it can be a date night every week, road trips from time to time or just make sure that you do interesting, fun and exciting things together”.

Don’t be afraid to compromise: “Two individuals living together will never agree on everything, if they do, there’s probably something wrong! You both need to be willing to compromise or, if not, you’ll soon be going separate ways so, learning to compromise is vital for maintaining a healthy and happy relationship”.

And always remember to never take your partner for granted.
