There are three top tips to having a great relationship that you can put to use in your love life today. Put the following tips into effect in your own way and your relationship will be enhanced starting now.

Tip Number One is Play. You got in your relationship in the first place to play, to have fun. Then over time the play can begin to disappear so that even sex seems like work. However, the more play you have with your mate, the less fighting you will have as well. And it is easy to start playing more with your mate.

So do you both make time to play together on a regular basis? Do you have a date night at least once a week?

Tip Number Two is Work Towards Healthy Conflict. Obviously, we all tend to fight from time to time in long term relationships. How you behave during and after the conflict seriously impacts the quality of your relationship. For example, expressing scorn or contempt during an argument has been shown to cause long term damage to a marriage.

As you will be arguing with your love from time to time anyway, it is good to start now to take some time to learn how to deal with conflict in healthy ways. One simple method is to learn to attack less during a fight and use “I” statements rather than “you” statements to discuss how you feel.

Tip #3: Minimize Mind Reading. We often tend to think our partners should just know what we want. This is a faulty assumption, and it can be a fatal one. Rather than think your mate should know what you want and give it to you, be proactive instead. Ask for what you want. If you need a hug, ask for it. If you need to be heard rather than given advice ask your mate to just listen.

By asking for what you need, you can prevent a lot of fights and sulking. And encourage your mate to ask for what they need when they seem unhappy as well. that’s being a good partner.

There are entire books that can be written about each of these three topics, so this is obviously just an introduction, but these are a great place to start to improve your love relationship today.
