Aspects that you should not lose in your relationship.
Love, one of life's great mysteries, will remain unconquerable no matter how many years pass. A force of nature that drives us to commit the greatest feats or the greatest recklessness.
You've probably encountered a couple who seems to have known each other forever, or one whose feelings for each other, no matter how many years pass, instead of diminishing, only grow stronger. These relationships are the ones that fulfill the "till death do us part" principle and arouse the greatest intrigue and curiosity in others.
For many, achieving this milestone must be almost a fairy tale, something so unreal that, despite seeing it in their acquaintances, they believe it's not theirs. Well, it is indeed difficult to achieve, due to the perseverance required. However, the steps are nothing out of the ordinary.
Remember important dates
Perhaps one of the most fundamental attitudes for a couple lies in remembering symbolic dates for both of them. This isn't exclusive to anniversaries; it can be any event that has marked them—a trip, a special outing, a graduation, or any number of situations that have shaped their relationship.
It's not necessary to throw a big party or buy a gift to celebrate, but keeping it in mind will make the day even more special. And be careful, reminders on calendars and cell phones aren't a bad idea, and it's not cheating either. Human memory isn't perfect, and we experience so many things every day that it can sometimes fail us.
Like the first day
Speaking of memories, do you still remember that first kiss? That time you danced for the first time? Those first-date nerves? The beginning of a relationship is generally when you experience the strongest and most natural sensations, the honeymoon of falling in love. When everything is rosy and honey abounds between lovers, but why should the rest of the time be any different?
This is where consistency complicates the steps. One must maintain the same passion of the first kiss, with the skill of the millionth, and so on in everything they do. Keep alive that flame of early experiences, where the path was uncharted territory and there was no routine.
A simple way to maintain this vitality can be found by frequently visiting the places that have given you the best quotes, walking the route of your first trips, traveling again to destinations you loved and watching them change, just as all those places will observe you.
Don't let those flirtatious activities that captured your partner's heart die, and with constant repetition, they will win your partner's heart over and over again. Who doesn't love receiving a bouquet of roses for no apparent reason, or finding a love letter under their pillow? These are things that, although seemingly absurd, incredibly rejuvenate a relationship.
Never stop talking
Another thing that will keep you afloat is dialogue, because it's a fact that just as you'll have sunny days, you'll also face many storms. Talk things through, be there for each other, and move forward together, because one person's problem is both of your problems.
If you argue, don't let it go or "heal with time," as that will only leave rough edges that will dull your magic. It's not easy to admit mistakes, much less listen with burning thoughts, but most arguments can be resolved and avoided with a thoughtful discussion that seeks solutions rather than temporary fixes.
As you can see, there are many small steps to ensuring a life as a couple survives "until death do us part," but if the relationship is built on a solid foundation of real emotions, the storms will blow, the sunny days will warm, and you will remain strong, just as you were when you decided to embark on that journey together.
