Take a relaxing walk around, have a drink together, go for a weekend drive to a cafe or restaurant, disconnect from the internet, laugh, relax, and have fun together.

4. Appreciate her.

If she prepares a meal for you, tell her outright that you appreciate the things she does. Always express gratitude and acknowledge her sacrifices when she helps you out even in the smallest things.

6. Talk about the future.

This will not only let your relationship feel stable, but this act also shows commitment from each other.

7. Give your support.

Encourage her to reach her dreams, let her know that you are happy and proud of her achievements, applaud her success, always be present at important events, boost her confidence when she’s struggling, and don’t forget to compliment her.

11. Always be kind to her.

Always do random nice things for your girlfriend. It could be as simple as helping her with one thing on her weekend to-do list, bring her things she loves or get the ingredients to make her favorite dish. Whatever the situation is, always show her kindness. Love is kind, thus, being kind to her all the time will make her feel more loved.

Take time to notice different things like the outfit she picked out, the way she does her makeup, or tell her you like her new haircut. However, compliments also don’t have to be purely physical.

15. Exercise together.

Work out together to stay fit, will not only beneficial for your own health and well-being but will boost happiness in your relationship. This will also help you push yourselves, motivate each other and have some quality time together.

“Never go to sleep angry,” might sound like a good idea, but id doesn’t work in practice. Especially after a long day at work when the argument doesn’t start until bed time. If you stay up all night arguing, it just puts the following day to ruin also. The actual better answer is to take time to cool off and let calmer head discuss the matter rationally at a later time. Arguing until you are burnt out just makes the argument hotter especially when you have one member of the argument that never truly forgives and brings up all past arguments the next time there is an argument.

Regarding number 8. Sometimes walking away or staying silent can also make things worse….

@stephen vien, it would make it worse if you just literally walk away and stay silent…. You walk away or stay silent if you know your emotions really high, like when youre hurt, or angry, it can be difficult to stay rational when your emotions are getting the best of you. So it would be better to stay silent or walk away UNTIL YOUVE CALMED YOURSELF DOWN then go back, talk about the issue and reslove it. Its always
easier to see things from eachothers perspective this way.
