Tips to successful Relationship

In romantic relationships, as with so much else, its the little things that count.
31. Conflict resolution
How do you resolve conflict and tension in your relationship? Do you go on the defensive and refuse to admit you re wrong or do you give in to avoid a long and painful argument? There is a proper way to deal with conflict and it begins with recognition that you are both on the same side the side of the relationship. Do not fight to win. Rather, fight to learn from each other and of course, strive to nip conflicts in the bud before they escalate.
32. Attraction
Avoid a routine of ambivalence in order to keep the romance and physical attraction alive. Foster spontaneity and try not to let the serious facts of life stifle your youthful and playful side. Remember that the little touches go a long way in keeping a relationship fresh.
33. Affection
Attraction grows through demonstrations of affection, so make an effort to hug, squeeze and caress your partner on a regular basis. Tell them how much you care for them and be that unconditional love partner they need. A soft peck on the cheek can work wonders when someone has had a rough day!
34. Romance
The key to romance is mystery, spontaneity, and effort without expectations. Keep the relationship fun and new with occasional weekend trips, quiet candlelit dinners at home or whatever keeps the sparks alive.
35. Staying involved with each other
Some relationships get stuck in peaceful coexistence, but without truly relating to each other and working together. While it may seem stable on the surface, lack of involvement and communication increases distance. When you need to talk about something important, the connection and understanding may no longer be there.
36. Getting through conflict
Some couples talk things out quietly, while others may raise their voices and passionately disagree. The key in a strong relationship, though, is not to be fearful of conflict. You need to be safe to express things that bother you without fear of retaliation, and be able to resolve conflict without humiliation, degradation or insisting on being right.
37. Keeping outside relationships
No one person can meet all of our needs, and expecting too much from someone can put a lot of unhealthy pressure on a relationship. Having friends and outside interests not only strengthens your social network, but brings new insights and stimulation to the relationship, too.
38. Communicating
Honest, direct communication is a key part of any relationship. When both people feel comfortable expressing their needs, fears, and desires, trust and bonds are strengthened. Nonverbal cues body language like eye contact, leaning forward or away, or touching someones arm are critical to communication.
39. Ask for what you want
Over time, we assume that our partner knows us so well that we dont need to ask for what we want. What happens when we make this assumption? Expectations are set and just as quickly, they get deflated. Those unmet expectations can leave us questioning the viability of our partnership and connection. Keep in mind that asking for what you want extends to everything from emotional to sexual wants.
40. Become an expert on your partner
Think about who your mate really is and what excites him or her both physically and emotionally . We can become consumed by what WE THINK he/she wants, as opposed to tuning in to what truly resonates with the other person. Remember that if its important to your partner, it doesnt have to make sense to you. You just have to do it.
