If you want a great relationship then you have to work hard for it. Like everything else, it takes work to make something work. If you don’t want your relationship to become the same old cliché, where the magic exists only for the first few months or years, then take regular action. Keep the spark alive or bring back the magic and then keep the excitement in place even as your relationship changes and evolves with time.

Start writing and noting down your moments, of joy, of sadness, of anything and everything that you shared and did together. When you feel detached, take a look at that journal. You can make the journal in video format as well. It will remind you of why you are together.

How is your intimacy levels these days? Most people worry about the bedroom in the beginning and eventually don’t bother about it anymore because there is stress, exhaustion, children, and a bunch of other factors. Do not ignore this aspect though. Make it a point to try something new, surprise your partner, and make it happen.

Text each other once a while, no matter how busy you are. “I miss you” and “I love you” should never remain unsaid. These three simple words keep the magic alive, and keep you going in your toughest times.

Keep post-its handy! Write messages and stick it on where your partner is most likely to find it. Expressing yourself is the key, and do it once in a while.

Take a vacation together every few months. It need not be some extravagant plan which leaves you in financial trouble, but just a break from the daily monotony, to go somewhere beautiful, where the two of you can catch up.
