RELATIONSHIP TIPS CONTINUES

6. Create a checklist.
Jot down new and fun things you want to accomplish for a day as a duo.

7. Talk to couples over 65 years old. 
Get relationship tips from them, and see what you can take away to apply to your relationship.

8. Stop and appreciate all that your relationship is this very second.
Stop living for what it can be.  This person is choosing to be in your life every day, not every day in the future.

9. Revisit the questions you asked in the beginning.
What are you hoping to accomplish in the next year? What are you scared of? These answers change, so we need to keep asking these questions.

10. Find 10 things you really love about them and tell them. 
Guys need confidence boosters, too!

11. Stop nagging. 
Seriously, stop. Take a step back and figure out the big things about your partner that truly bother you, and approach them from a place of concern and support instead of nitpicking for sport. That’ll get you nowhere.

12. Get over needing to be right.  
Learning to say “I was wrong” is a skill worth learning.

13. Take care of yourself. 
No relationship can be successful if you don’t feel good about yourself, both inside and out.

14. Know what you need and then ask for it.
You’re dating a human, not a magical psychic.

15. Take a class.
It’s proven that couples who learn together connect deeper. Find some common ground (cooking? art? science?) and go from there.
