7 Tips to a Happier Relationship

1. QUALITY TIME

People think that just being with the person is enough to be considered quality time. That's just not how it really is if you are gonna say watching TV with them is quality time. Spend time bonding together doing something you both love and can talk about after so that you bring each other closer together.

2. ALONE TIME

Some people think that spending all their time with the people they love will make the relationship better. Sometimes you need to spend time alone, away from them to love yourself and create the feeling of missing them making your quality time better with them.

3. COMMUNICATE

Talk. Get to know how their day went or how you feel about things going on in the relationship. Express yourselves to release the building tension. The more you bottle up how you feel instead of telling the other what's going on, the bigger the disaster.

4. PUT EFFORT INTO THE RELATIONSHIP

We usually mistake good relationships as things that just "happen". That people just suddenly click and work out well. These things don't just happen. We make them happen by putting effort into the relationship. If you want your relationship to head in a certain direction, do something. Write them a letter, get the flowers or maybe even surprise them by joining them in doing the things they like. The small things add up to make bigger impacts.

5. DON'T TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED

This is pretty much self explanatory. A "thank you" or a simple act of reciprocity does a lot showing them that you appreciate them and their doings. A lot of couples in this generation demand instant-gratification so returning the favor and showing them that you are thankful and appreciate them does and means a lot. Do not do something that will make them walk towards the opposite direction.

6. PET NAMES

As childish and silly as this is, it's actually very personal. Giving someone a cute yet possibly annoying name brings each other in closer by the heart making things more intimate. Sure, "Sugar Pie" or "Lovey Bunny" seems too cheesy or childish but hey, nobody calls you that except them and it gives meaning and value to who you are to them.

7. HONESTY

The essential key factor to a healthy relationship. Keeping things honest and transparent while being faithful and loyal keeps a clear conscience and mind for your partner thus them not having to worry about what's going on, where you are or what you're doing. As a partner, it's your responsibility to do this even when not asked. Don't do it for them, do it for yourself and your relationship.
