You have probably seen pictures of couples on the internet doing various activities labeled as ‘relationship goals’, like holding hands at the Eiffel tower in Paris, soaking together in a hot tub in a high-end apartment, giving each other luxurious gifts such as cars and giant teddy bears, or fine dining at the most expensive restaurants. Any normal person would envy the way these people run their relationships in order to make their love grow deeper, but what about the less fortunate people? People who cannot afford to book a plane ticket to Bali or eat at a three-Michelin star restaurant? Are there any ‘relationship goals’ for these types of people? Yes! For the common folk, here are 10 achievable relationship goals to make your love grow:
Trust is one of the most important elements in a relationship and if you’re expecting any type of romantic commitment to last, you have to rely on its power to connect and bring two people together come what may.
Couples in a long term relationship have either mastered the art of Trust or are now slowly struggling to maintain it. This is because, just like love and respect, trust has to be earned over and over and should be able to withstand any storm that comes it’s way.
Regardless of where you are in this spectrum, this article will help you find ways to build and maintain trust in your relationship.
Being in an intimate relationship is hard but being in a long-distance relationship is even harder. A relationship needs good communication, a ton of commitment, and a strong foundation of trust especially when the distance is the one interfering between two people.

Girls aren’t the only ones who need to feel happy in a relationship. Of course, your boyfriend also needs that extraordinary joy you can give to him. Making your partner happy is vital in a relationship. In fact, that is one of the ingredients to making your relationship stronger and long-lasting. Now if you’re struggling …
Not everyone will always agree with your definition of a perfect love story but it doesn’t mean that you should easily give up on your relationship. Remember that although we can’t have everything we want in this life, we have every right to demand and fight for the things and people that make us genuinely happy.
So what would you do if you’ve finally found the one but life isn’t that willing to let you have them? Would you give up everything just to be with them? In other words, would you fight for the person you love even if it means saying goodbye to other people you’ve known your entire life? Are you willing to take every risk just to make your relationship work?
If you’re trapped in these equally frustrating and sometimes tragic circumstances, let this article be your refuge and your strength.
Here are the things that you can do to fight for your relationship.
The man was not created to be alone. It is natural for us to long for a partner to form a meaningful relationship with. However, since these are two people with different genetic markers, family background, culture, and a lot more, conflicts are sure to crop up time and time again! Definitely, this is not part of our #relationshipgoals!
When we are stressed, our body activates its fight or flight response as an act of self-preservation. We react by either getting aggressive or running away and building walls around our ego to protect ourselves. How do you react when you are under stress? Do you know what your attachment style is? How about your partner?
The problem with stress in relationships is it can be deep-seated. What stresses us now could be the tip of the iceberg. This sustained psychological stress is linked to depression, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. We sure do want to suffer from these lifestyle diseases!
Stress can also slowly eat up the foundation in your relationship. If you do not know how to use stress to your advantage, it may break down something which was once beautiful. Think about all the investment and sacrifices you have put into your relationship! Surely, you want to do everything in your power to keep things together!
I know that your heart is weary and your spirit is weak right now, but running away from our troubles is not a mature way of addressing our problems. We need to stay and work things out. This is the only way we can prove that we value our partner above all else. If you feel alone and on the verge of giving up, it is good to remind yourself that you are not alone in these challenging times. There are actually two people involved: you and your partner.
How invested you are in the relationship will be tested through your dedication to finding a sweet spot for both of you. Restoring harmony in a relationship is a bit challenging, but the process is full of self-discovery. It is an optimal growth period for both of you. Now, face your stressors head-on and find solutions. Here are 10 ways to deal with stress in your relationship and improve your love for each other.
One of the most magical things that could happen to a person is to love someone. There are times that when you’re asked why you love him/her is hard to answer.

But in reality, it’s a lot deeper. For when love rules over them, even the failures could be a possible reason to love their other half.

1. You’re too clingy and overprotective.
Trust me, it’s not romantic if your partner already feels that they can’t breathe just because you’re hugging them too tight – and I mean this in both its literal and figurative sense. Don’t try to suffocate them just because you think that it’s the only way to make them feel that they are loved; you don’t have to be around all the time just because you find them weak and vulnerable.
In a long-distance relationship, being too clingy and overprotective often lead to paranoia and could trigger pointless emotions like doubts, jealousy, and other undesirable consequences.
There are so many factors that have to work together just to make any form of romantic commitment last. For instance, if you ask anyone who has been in a long-distance relationship, they’ll tell you of an even more complicated and sometimes frustrating reality, one that can only be understood by those who have been there.
