(3) STAY HONEST 

You should also do your best to stay honest with each other at all times. Consider how open you are with your most trusted friends and think about being that honest with your partner as well .

Even when you have things to tell them that they may not want to hear,  when you are also their companion, it is necessary to  inform them anyway  . They will likely respect you for telling them the truth. 


(4) HAVE YOUR OWN  THING 

It can be advantageous for each of you to have  your own thing as well .You probably hang out regularly or everyday when you are in a relationship but there are  times when you may need space or wish to do something that is just for you. 

This is okay ,  and you should allow your partner the same courtesy,  perhaps you want to go out with your friends, so you should be okay with your partner doing same .


(5) DISAGREE BUT DON'T ARGUE 

  There is nothing to be concerned about if you and your partner disagree on certain things . The key is to keep arguing to a minimum. In most cases, you should be able to discuss your differences in opinions without getting mad at each other or having a fight. 


(6)APOLOGIZE WHEN NEED BE 

Be sure to apologize when you need to.You may mess up or hurt your partner's feelings sometimes and it is vital that you stay on good terms with them .Afterall,  if they are a good friend of yours as well as your partner,  there's a chance you can't stay upset with each other for long .


(7) WORK THROUGH ISSUES 

In addition to overcoming arguments and disagreements, you must be able to work through issues you face as well .

One of you may have too much stress , or the other one may be grieving the death of a family member, together you can get through these things, especially if you are growing or already have companionship in a relationship.


(8) REMEMBER WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT THEM 

Sometimes it may be trying to have companionship with your partner. 

However ,  when you are able to keep the things you like about them fresh in your mind , it can help you understand why you are putting in the time and effort it takes to grow your relationship with them .


(9) HAVE GOALS 

 You have probably heard about couple goals , but do you and your partner have any? If not ,  you should decide together what you would like to accomplish. Maybe you want to walk a marathon or take a food challenge together. There are no wrong answers as long as you are having fun together. 


(10) STAY INTIMATE WITH EACH OTHER 

 Staying intimate with one another can assist your bond as well . There is evidence that states how  physical touch with your partner can boost hormones in your brain that might make you happier .

Hold their hand , when you are on a trip or hug them when you wake up and see if it makes you feel better.
