Relationships require more than just being together and trying new things in bed. A long term relationship requires constant refueling to keep going. Here are some simple things you can do to make your relationship more exciting and healthy.

1. Spend time apart: This may sound weird but the more you linger around each other, the faster you would get bored of each other. Have your own space and give him his. So don’t make your partner your world. Spend time with your girl gang while he hangs out with his boys. This will also give the two of you a chance to miss one another.

2. Be generous with hugs: Hugs are an instant mood lifter. They make one feel comfortable and relaxed. So never lose a chance to hug your partner and let him know that you are there for him.

3. Change your hangout places: People think that hanging out at the same places would bring nostalgia but this is so wrong and supremely boring! You need to create new memories every now and then. Try changing your hangout spots, explore and break the monotony in your life (PS: This would also give you a chance to click some fresh pictures)

4. Be considerate: We all have expectations from our partners. We all hope to go home and watch a movie together and be happy. But often we are unaware of the circumstances our partner is in. So before expecting and making plans, do a weather check phone call to make sure your partner is in best of his moods.

5. See the bright side: Be happy with what he does right rather than always pointing out what he did wrong. Learn to appreciate the efforts even if the outcome is not perfect. This would be an encouragement for your partner to do better the next time.

6. Walk beside him: Holding hands might sound mushy but it actually instills a sense of belongingness in your partner. It is great to have a support system and be someone's.

7. Go to bed together: This is a small gesture but speaks a lot. Don't let your favourite show on TV or an interesting book hold you back. Getting into bed together, cuddling and talking about your day would bring both of you closer and also give a feeling of how important you both are for each other.
