So when you become good and better in voicing out the things you like about your partner, he or she will start to do the same and from that point, you will discover you get along with each other and enjoy that aspect when the compliments and appreciation keeps flowing between the both of you.

2. Interact With Your Partner About Your Dreams And Goals in Your Life.

Have you ever thought of the reason why you are in a relationship with that person? Maybe you don't know why.
When you are in a relationship, you should know that you are not just into it because you want someone to make you happy or you want to enjoy some benefits that are attached to relationships. If that's your view about the relationship, then you can never settle for a long term relationship that will last.

The reason for starting any relationship should be solely for the purpose of sharing your life with your partner. And your life means your happiness and your achievements, or your dreams and your challenges you face in your life.
Sharing your dreams and goals in life will bring about motivation from your partner and he/she will always want to be in support of your dreams in your life.

So you must never underestimate the importance of sharing your goals in life with your partner because it brings about motivation and desire from both ends to see that those dreams are achieved.

3. Build up your compatibility and have common interest between the both of you.

One reason why many relationships today are thrown into the dust is because the partners have no compatibility between them, that is to say, they have nothing in common that brings their heads together.

For example, if you always like watching adventure, while she likes to watch romantic movies, or she likes taking strawberry and you don't like taking it but prefer mangoes, or she likes going to parties and hanging out while you hate hanging out nor partying.

When you discover that most of your interests, likes and dislikes are always different and are not common between you, then you can hardly get along as you get divided in many occasions and it will not be too good.

So if you know you really love your partner and you want something long lasting between the both of you, then the best idea to use is to start building your compatibility because everything have shown that you are not compatible with each other.

How do you start this process? It is easy, you must learn to start liking what your partner likes, no matter how hard you find it, but finally having something in common that both of you can discuss about can work a great deal in bring your heads together and also get your brains to function and work in the same direction.

4. Frequent Communication and Body Languages Usage.

Without communication, no relationship can last for long, so you must never play with this idea of keeping in touch with each other.

When you go out to work and have no hope of seeing your partner until when its evening, calling them to know how they are doing is a great way to show care and concern for them.
Communicate and talk to each other about anything that involves the both of you.

If you are having any challenge in your life, then tell your partner about it, if there is something you don't like about your partner, make them know about it and if you have any insecurity about your partner, then you must communicate all these things to them so that both of you can learn about each others problems more better and handle them in the best way you can.

Don't underestimate the importance of touching your partner always, this can be in form of hugging, hands holding, shoulder leaning and kissing, other advanced touch situations are massaging of your partner's body. All these activities will make you not to have any boring experience about what you see other people doing in their relationships.
