Make time for each other. If the connection isn't a priority in your relationship then it's going to disappear 2. Express your appreciation for them, everyday. Tell them what you love about them, tell them how much they mean to you. 3. Actively listen to what they say. It's so easy to be distracted in this world. Take the time to ask open-ended questions and really listen to what they say. 4. Be honest, clear and direct about things you want and need. Stop expecting them to be able to read your mind. 5. Practice forgiveness and letting go. We all make mistakes. If you hold onto your partner, nothing but resentment will grow. 6. Invest in yourself not just the relationship. Go and do things alone. Be your own person! 7. Check in with them regularly about how they feel the relationship is going. This helps you nip problems in the bud before they become big issues. 8. Be physical. Hug them when they come home and kiss them before they leave. It's a habit, and the longer you don't do it, the harder it can be to start again. 9. Laugh together. Do things that are fun! Go and be big kids again and experience that innocent joy. 10. Always be honest. If you made a mistake, be honest about it. Trust is the foundation of a relationship.
