Psychologists now believe that the dizzying felling of an intense romance lasts around 18 months. Due to this, many relationships struggle and it can be hard to keep a lasting relationship. Obvious basics such as good communication, a shared value system, a support system of friends and relatives are all essential to creating a lasting relationship. But what else can you do?
There are a number of other factors that can also be helpful. Many relationship experts now also believe that a concept known as ‘love blindness’ is also important. ‘Love blindness’ is where you maintain the belief that that your partner is attractive, funny, kind, and ideal for you in every way and, as a result, you remain happy.
But, what if this simply isn’t enough? Here are three basic things that you can do to ensure that you can create a lasting relationship.
Connect with Your Soul
Many believe that a happy soul is essential to creating a lasting relationship. Here, the moon and the alignment of the stars play a vital role. If your relationship is struggling, or you’re not sure if a potential partner is right for you, ask a medium to answer spiritual questions. This way, you can know from the outset. Although spirits and mediums aren’t for everyone, they can still be helpful and could allay your worries.
Honour Every Promise
Relationships often begin to struggle when people stop keeping promises. Whether it is a large promise or a small promise, you have to make sure that you keep it as this will keep the relationship honest and full of trust. As long as you can fully trust each other, it will be easy to share facts and be open and honest in arguments.
Dedicated ‘date night’
One way to avoid the banality after the ‘dizzying feeling of intense romance’ disappears is to dedicate time to each other. After a while, it becomes incredibly easy to fall into a routine in a relationship and this is when the banality takes over and you begin to question its longevity. For this reason you should dedicate one day of the week to be ‘date night’. This will ensure that you spend time together doing fun, romantic activities that will help keep the relationship alive.
To conclude, creating a lasting relationship is all about the effort that you put in. If you get the basics right to begin with, it is important to keep them up. If you do so, you should have no problems creating a lasting relationship.
