6 Ways to Make Your Relationship Work

4. Don’t keep problems unresolved

One of the common things that may eat away into your relationship is keeping problems and fights unresolved. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve had a big or a small fight with your girlfriend, don’t keep it hanging and forget all about it. When fights are not resolved, they leave a mark of discomfort in the subconscious. This may result in mood swings or random bursts of emotion. Resolving a matter on hand will make sure that you are better equipped to deal with the situation when it arises again in the future.

5. Give each other space

It is a myth that couples who spend more time in each other’s company have stronger bonds. Interestingly, giving each other privacy and space is an equally important aspect of making a relationship work. Whether you have had a fight with your girlfriend, you have an important assignment to finish or you need to spend time with your family, consider leaving each other alone for a while. This will help you both to come back with a renewed sense of energy towards each other.

6. Focus on the little things

Don’t expect every date with your girlfriend to be super romantic or everyday of your relationship to be a page torn out of a fairy tale book. To make your relationship work, embrace the small things. This includes giving each other a warm morning hug, checking on each other several times in the day and comforting each other about small stress factors in life.
