Starting a relationship is always easy, fun and exciting but making it
last needs hard work and commitment.
Many couples start out with a strong commitment to their relationship but, after a while they begin to give it less attention and care. They relax and simply smile their way into sleep just because they know that they have already hooked up him/her.
Others may neglect each other while focusing on their work, children, studies, or a time-consuming hobby. In strong relationships both people may have outside interests, but they continue to make their commitment to each other a top priority. They try all the possible ways to make their relationship work.
Staying committed begins with accepting that having a good relationship takes some effort. The onus is on you and not anyone else. Not even him or her, but you first. It’s your responsibility to make your relationship flourish.
So, do not stop doing those old things that made your partner fall in love with you. If your partner fell in love with you because you were a funny dude, a down to earth girl, a loving and understanding chap, a caring and a patient belle, a prayerful man… then maintain that and be more creative.
