New Year, New You: Making Love Last



As we think about our New Year's Resolutions, we must not forget about our relationships! Want to make sure you and your loved one have a wonderful new year (together)? Follow these lovely tips!

1. Laugh Together! 
According to Jennifer Gruenemay, a writer for Lifescript.com, " It’s not just your physical heart that benefits from laughter. A good sense of humor can bring couples closer together. It’s like a second language shared between the two of you, which strengthens your bond. It’s why seeing a particular object can bring some couples to their knees in a fit of laughter, while bystanders have no clue what’s so funny." With that being said, simply sharing a practical joke or even watching a romantic comedy together can strengthen your love! 

2. Say Something Nice
Compliment! Compliment! Compliment! Remember how good it felt when you first started dating and the "You look beautiful" comments made you feel as though you were in heaven!? This should not stop simply because you have been together awhile. Ladies make sure you tell him he looks great in a suit, or how you love how he takes care of the little things around the house (like killing the spiders). It's important to make your loved one feel appreciated, needed, and desired. 

3. Communicate
Keep the lines of communication open and don't keep problems to yourself! This will not do you any good! Believe it or not happy couples DO ARGUE, it is in our nature as humans to agree to disagree. According to Jennifer, "When you bottle up your frustrations, you’re headed straight for an angry explosion. Don’t let things build up! Tell your partner exactly what’s bothering you. And encourage him to do the same."

4. Dream Together 
Encourage your significant other to follow their dreams and make sure they support yours as well. Living life to the fullest together can truly strengthen a relationship.
