5 Tips on How to Keep Your Partner Happy

1. Go on Monthly Dates

If you plan on being in a long-term relationship, chances are you’ll fall into a routine and you’ll start to feel like your heart has no other opportunity to fall deeper in love. However, a tip that can certainly help remind you of your romantic connection with your girlfriend/boyfriend/etc. is to take them out on monthly dates, preferably on a specific date for each month. (An example being: taking your loved one out on the 10th of each month.)

Take them to a fancy dinner, the movies, the park, a picnic, a hike, a short road-trip, etc., whatever makes you both comfortable. It doesn’t have to be expensive to make each other happy.

2. Try to Do Something Different Each Week

If you have kids or you have a very busy job, it’s hard to focus on your spouse/partner. So, each week, try to do new things with them. Have a movie marathon with just the two of you, drink some wine, order pizza, try a new sex move, etc. Trying new things together, even if it’s something small like a food item, will keep you both on your toes. Falling into routine gets monotonous, so your best bet is to jump out of your circle.

3. Surprise Them

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase, “Little things turn into big things when they’re ignored.” It doesn’t seem like forgetting to write notes to your partner, which you used to do all the time, would impact them, but it does. Little things shouldn’t be forgotten. Bring your partner flowers or surprise them with dinner. Show your appreciation and love for them when they’re least expecting it, and it will positively impact the connection you have with one another.

4. Communicate and Be Honest with Your Feelings

This tip may sound cliché, but it really isn’t. Communication and honesty are probably the biggest factors in keeping a healthy, stable relationship. If you’re feeling a certain way towards your partner or towards recent events, it’s always best to tell and express those emotions to your significant other. Not only does it bring you both closer, but it helps both of you understand how the other feels about certain things. Don’t try and hide your feelings, even if it might hurt the other person, because honesty is what will change your relationship dynamic. Hiding the truth will just hurt you in the future.

5. Avoid Fighting About Petty Things

On different occasions, it’s rough to drop the conversation and remind your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/etc. that you love them. Something petty or insignificant is not worth fighting over. Being right shouldn’t ever be your primary concern, and, instead, should be loving your partner, apologizing and taking responsibility for your role in the argument. If you have to, have some alone time to think for yourself and calm down before addressing the issue again. If it’s over text, another reminder: you don’t have to answer right away. Take a breather and come back into the conversation when you can think rationally. Unless the situation at hand will impact you in the near future, there’s no point in a heated discussion.
