5 Ways to Make Your Love Last for a Lifetime

Getting into a relationship and finding a partner of your choice is a matter of fate. Maintaining a relationship and growing with it while going through the smooth and rough patches of life is very important. It requires attention, nurturing, interest, love, care, affection and trust in order to carry forward the relationship. Both the partners need to put in equal efforts for the relationship to last forever. Here are 5 ways to make your love last for a lifetime.

1. Open up and share your feelings
Nobody can read minds. Even if two people are in love, they can understand each other but one needs to express their feelings first. Learn to let go of the small things but if there is anything that is important, matters to you or bothers you, then say it. If you keep mum and expect the other person to just know, then you are just hurting yourself in the bargain. Share your feelings and thoughts for a lasting relationship.

2. Do not cheat on your partner
You cannot cheat on your partner emotionally or physically and think that you can get away with it. If you decide to be in a relationship and want it to last for a lifetime, then you need to be loyal throughout. You can’t expect your partner to accept you even after you cheat.

3. Never assume your partner’s thoughts
We often tend to assume what our partners think or what intentions they have in mind. Assumptions are misleading as they are something that your own mind comes up with and may be completely wrong. Ask questions, listen to your partner and understand the true intentions if you want the relationship to last forever.

4. Maintain intimacy and emotional proximity
For a relationship to last forever, a couple needs to maintain physical intimacy between them and satisfy each other’s physical needs. Emotional closeness is being able to share all the happiness and sorrows with your partner and finding the comfort always in doing so.

5. Express your love
After being in a relationship for years together, partners often fail to express their love to each other. It is important to express and show that you love each other from time to time. It gives happiness; it gives reassurance and also makes your partner feel special.
