5 Dating Tips We Can Learn From Couples Who Stay Committed To Each Other

The little thing in life matter. Do you have friends who dated for more than five years and you wonder what's their secret for staying together for so long? Here are five tips you can earn to make sure every day is honeymoon time with your boo!

#1 Don't take each other for granted
It's a good thing to be comfortable with your partner. However, if you start being too comfortable with your partner, you are likely to forget what respect and boundaries look like when you both just began dating.

Make a conscious effort to appreciate your partner and not be too comfortable to the point where you forget what respect and appreciation are.

#2 Surprise your partner frequently
Buy gifts, surprise with random visits and routinely send sweet messages. Speak a special love language to your boo to keep the sparks flying even after many many years.

#3 Look at your partner's strength and not his weaknesses
Especially in a long-term relationship, make it a habit to always look at his strength and play down on his shortcomings. Do not attempt to change or rectify your partner's 'bad' behaviours forcefully. Communicate and support is always a better option.

#4 Include your partner in your life planning
This is important to both the man and the woman in a committed relationship. Include your partners when you make decisions, stay accountable and never let your partner feel alone after more than nine months of being together.

#5 Learn to embrace and listen
Everyone is different. We hold different values and we respond differently to various events, people and happenings. There will undoubtedly be disagreements, arguments and moments where we feel so angry that we don't want to hear. When you embrace the art of listening even when you're emotional, you are likely to gain the respect of your partner and work things out more amicably.
