1 minute read

In relationships we often tell each other that we love each other, write “love you” on e-mails, and show affection, but do we take the time to write out how we feel? A random note can lift your partner/spouse up on a dark day, as it shows that you are willing to take the time to write down your feelings. That’s a lot in 2016!

Here are 5 Top Ways To Keep Your Relationship Stronger :

2. Keep the playfulness alive

We all love to play, regardless of our age. Do the following: have fun together; do something ridiculous together; and just let go. In addition, the next time that your partner says something that bothers you, try responding with a joke instead of getting defensive.

5. Spend time apart from each other
