Sometimes we get into bad habits in our relationships

Not checking in with each other often enough

Allowing bad communication to create conflict

Bickering at each other instead of discussing solutions

Relationships need regular maintenance

Working on things does not mean they are broken

Just like cars need servicing and homes need TLC

The problem is that its ever so easy to neglect your relationship maintenance

It only takes a few minutes to check in with each other once a week

Put it on your calendar as a weekly event

Pick a subject that needs resolving

Try to reach a mutually agreeable compromise

Then agree which aspect of your relationship you will work on next

Giving you both time to think things over

Follow your successful check in meeting with a date night

It will make that date night so much more enjoyable

Long lasting love requires persistence to keep it on the boil
