6 Ways not to be Complacent in Your Long – Term Relationship
4. Do not take him for granted
Just because you and your partner have been together for a long period of time, it does not ensure that the relationship will last forever. It is vital to note that every relationship requires constant nurturing and efforts. The moment you start taking each other for granted, it will start affecting your relationship in a negative manner.
5. Remember why he fell in love with you
In case of most long-term relationships, we forget what exactly was it that made the other person fall in love with us. Slowly, we end up losing all those qualities that we used to like about each other. This can prove damaging for a relationship. Ask yourself, “Am I still the same person that I was when he fell in love with me?” It may not be easy to stay the same after all these years but being aware of how you have changed will help you move in the right direction.
6. Remind him of how much he means to you
Once a relationship goes steady, we start assuming that the other person knows that we love him. With time, we stop making those big gestures to convey our love to our partner. As more and more time passes, even the small gestures of love take a backseat. This pattern usually leads to problems and frictions. Know that no matter how long you have been with each other, you must convey to one another that this relationship means the world to you.
