5 easy steps to strengthen relationships

Relationships are a living structure. In fact, like all living things, they require attention, emotional and time investments, and actions. 

We have collected a few simple “fertilisers” that will serve as an excellent fuel for your relationship. 

Learn and put into practice. 

Our time

It’s simple and complicated at the same time. Time alone with each other.

15, 30, 40 minutes or an hour. Just you and me. Without phones, TV shows, chips, and talking about others.

We only talk about us, our dreams, worries, and hopes. Kisses, hugs, and massages are also welcome. 

Even if you can find only 15 minutes for high-quality contact, this will be a serious contribution and help. 

And you can even watch the TV series later. 

This is a very tiny thing, yet very pleasant.

It’s really strange, but such things hide a lot of love. This love lives along with the devil, who always stays in such details. 

Simple compliments, help in finding gloves, unexpected hugs or wrapping the legs with a blanket, a note left on the refrigerator… all these things warm and please more than flowers or expensive cuff-links.

Never try to accumulate.

Only piggy banks are allowed to accumulate. If you are concerned, you need to talk out loud. If you avoid quarrels and ignore pain, an explosion of accumulated resentments will still happen, and the consequences will be sad. Therefore, we share everything here and now to find the most appropriate solution.

Words through the mouth

Have you met real fortune-tellers? We haven’t. 

And your partner isn’t one of them, either. 

If you don’t want to face misunderstandings and unpleasant surprises, you need to state ideas and desires clearly: “I would like to…, this is important to me…, I worry when…”. 

Romantic eye rolls, sighs, and pouting lips work poorly and for a short time. 

Avoid using scenes from Hollywood movies, if you really want your partner to hear and understand you. 

Team game

As the Matroskin cat said: “All common activities are useful! They unite people!” 

Any activity in which you are both actively involved helps your union to grow stronger. Choose anything to your taste: planning a trip, breeding parrots, rearranging the furniture, creating dumplings or solving puzzles. When you are a team, the whole world will wait.

At the same time, it doesn’t mean that everything needs to be done only together. You need to know that personal space is also very important. Here’s the best option: We have a lot of common and personal things at the same time.
