10 Keys to a Successful Romantic Relationship

In romantic relationships, as with so much else, its the little things that count. Just as a mis-spoken
word or odd look can throw a couple into a weeks-long feud, small and seemingly insignificant
gestures can help keep a relationship on track. A little gift, an off-hand compliment, a moment of
physical contact can vastly strengthen a relationship.

According to psychologists Nathaniel Branden and Robert Sternberg, who have both researched and
written about the challenges of romantic relationships, these little displays of interest and affection
can be more important than all the "active listening" and trust games in the world. Their research
has suggested 10 keys to keeping both partners content, satisfied, and happy with each other.

1. Tell your partner you love them.

Although its true that actions speak louder than words, words often speak more clearly than
actions. Take a moment every now and then to verbalize your feelings for your partner. A simple I
love you or You mean the world to me can go a long way towards making your significant other
feel wanted, cared for, and secure in your relationship.

2. Show some affection.

Small acts of physical intimacy the hand on the small of the back as you brush by in the hallway,
your arm around their shoulder on the sofa, your hand on their thigh when seated side-by-side,
holding hands while walking down the street give your partner a warm feeling and convey the
love and affection you feel for them. The littlest touch can be as important, or even more important,
than the longest night of sexual intimacy.

3. Show appreciation for your partner.

Let your partner know on a regular basis what it is that you like most about them what you
admire, what makes you proud, what their strengths are in your eyes. Building a romantic
relationship isnt jsut about the initial bonding its about encouraging and supporting each others
growth over the course of your lives. Help your partner achieve his or her potential by constantly
building them up.

4. Share yourself.
Dont keep your likes and dislikes, dreams and fears, achievements and mistakes, or anything else
to yourself. If its important to you, share it with your partner. More than that, be sure to share more
with your partner than you do with anyone else. While there is certainly a need for some personal
space in even the closest relationship, give as much of yourself and your time as you can bear to
your partner.

5. Be there for your partner.

Its obvious what you need to do when your partner faces a major life challenge like the loss of a job
or the death of a loved one. But its just as important to be supportive when your partner faces
lifes little challenges, too an argument at work, a rough commute, a misplaced check. Dont let
yourself be a doormat, and definitely dont stand for physical or verbal abuse, but thicken your skin
a little and be the voice of calm and reason when chaos strikes. Listen to whats bothering them
and offer whatever help even if its just sympathy you can.

6. Give gifts.
Take advantages of opportunities to give material tokens of your love. Just the right book picked up
at the bookstore, a special dessert, a piece of jewelry or clothing you noticed at the store anything
small or large that tells them you were thinking of them. Leave a love note for them, or send them
an SMS at work to I love you again, the little reminder that theyre always on your mind will help
your partner feel better about themselves and secure in your relationship.

7. Respond gracefully to your partners demands and

shortcomings.
A big killer of relationships is unreasonable expectations. Unless you married a robot, your partner
comes pre-loaded with a whole range of human failures and foibles. These are features, not bugs!
Learn to recognize and appreciate your partners quirks for what they are: an essential part of who
they are as people. Since our weaknesses are often at the core of our deepest insecurities, make
sure you dont pick on or otherwise go out of your way to highlight your partners flaws.

8. Make "alone time" a priority.

No matter how busy both of your lives are, make sure you commit at least an evening every week
or two to be alone together. Have new experiences, share your stories, and just generally enjoy
each others company.

9. Take nothing for granted.

Cultivate a daily sense of gratitude for your partner and the thousands of little blessings he or she
has brought into your life. Remember that, if youre happy in your relationship, your partner is
doing a thousand little things for you every day to make your relationship work (as, hopefully, you
are for them). Never take that for granted a relationship is work of the highest order, and the
second you stop it starts to slide away.

10. Strive for equality.

Make sure you follow the Golden Rule in your relationship: do unto your partner as you would have
done unto you. Strive for a fair division of household duties and other tasks, and dont expect or
demand special considerations youd be unwilling to offer in return.
