How to perk up your relationship - Article CAE

Most couples try to avoid a conflicts, but the happy ones know how to remain positive. If you’ve ever got a relationship advice, you’ve probably heard plenty of don’ts. Don’t blame, don’t nag, and don’t leave the toothpaste open. However, the secret is to focus on do’s: tease each other, make fun, say thank you. Happy couples actively work on building the positive attitude towards relationship, they set goals and get the a great payoff: more fun, more care, more sustained intimacy.

Be grateful to your partner. Saying the dinner he or she (he or she = they) cooked was delicious make their them feel better of about themselves.

Expensive gifts and exotic vacations are nice, but they may cause a feeling of obligatory obligation which leads to more stress. Brighten up your partner’s live life by providing some “invisible” help: clear the cluttered workplace, put some trifles in their bag - such things do matter.

Eventually, everyday routine makes your relationship dull and repetitious: work (just a note - it's best to be consistent in your grammar forms - you use a lot of gerunds in this enumeration, so "working" would sound a bit better, though it's not a mistake per se), cooking, cleaning, watching movies, sleeping. Unfortunately, playfulness is the first victim of a busy life. Keep having fun, coin a silly nickname to your mate - it will help you to reach more peaceful resolutions in of a conflict.

Look after yourself. Instead of focusing on your partner, concentrate on yourself: shape your body, learn a new language or do charity. Take positive actions rather than noticing what your partner’s doing wrong.

More appreciation, more trust and more little gestures. Achieving goals requires taking small steps.
