When we start a relationship, all is moonshine and roses. That delicious euphoria of being in love takes over and we are totally besotted with our partners. With time, however, that feeling fades, and hopefully we have built a good enough foundation for the relationship to last. We should have kept up the romance and made it a habit, and with a bit of luck we may also find out that we are compatible with our partner.
It is important at this stage not to let your relationship become one of drudgery. Life is unpredictable and can often be downright lousy, but let your relationship be one area where you find enjoyment and satisfaction. We can get so serious in our everyday life. Wouldn’t it be nice if our relationship was one where we could laugh a lot, flirt and have a whole lot of fun?
Marriage counsellors often say that the couples who play together stay together. That is food for thought. Not all of us are clowns who can always be jovial and tell a lot of jokes, but we can all at least be open to the humorous side of life. Sometimes we can get into sticky situations in our relationships, and if we can at least laugh at ourselves, it just makes things a whole lot better.
It is also important to keep on flirting with your partner throughout your relationship, even if you have been married for fifty years! This helps keep the spice in your relationship and reminds you why you got together in the first place. Keep your partner guessing a little bit and even play innocent tricks on him/her. Of course, we all love to tease our partners, and this is a good thing as long as we don’t become personal and hurt their feelings. We also all love pleasant surprises, so make an effort to be innovative and be open to trying new things.
Don’t: Get stuck in the same old boring habits in your relationship.
Do: Always be on the lookout for humour in your relationship.
