Try New Things Together

Research demonstrates that sharing new experiences together strengthens and sustains relationships. That's true; all it takes to keep things interesting in your relationship is a little effort to find new things to do. Fortunately, this effort can be enjoyable for both of you!

Here are a few suggestions on how you and your boo might experiment with new things.

• Exercise together. 

• Going for a walk every day.

• Sexting, etc.

Do One Nice Thing for Each Other Daily

Relationships are made up of the simple things. Grand gestures have their time and place, yes, but it's the simple, thoughtful, and consistent, ones that mean the most: those just-because actions you do to let your boo know you don't take them for granted. These small things can bring a little serenity into the chaotic world you both live in.

Operate as a Team

Relationship collaboration refers to a sense of cooperation, support, and unification in a variety of areas, such as money, parenting, household duties, sex, and emotional closeness. Relationship cooperation often demands deliberate effort from both parties as well as a readiness to share power on all issues

Because we are so in love during the beginning of a relationship, we naturally form teamwork. But as time passes, that feeling of community disintegrates, and when it does, everything else follows. The physical connection also disappears when we don't feel emotionally connected. How much a couple feels like a team is critical to the success of their relationship.
