If you’re already in a relationship, select a tip or two of these ideas and incorporate them into your relationship now. The results can be amusing.
Give time to each other – schedule a day every single week just for the two of you to spend time together. Not an hour or two but a night or day that you can spend time for yourselves. Tell your friends, family and everyone that this time is reserved only for both of you and. Keep this date each week in your life and stick to it no matter what. Make it your priority for the whole year and the next and so on.
Do activities that you can have fun – doing fun and pleasurable activities can instill intimacy to your relationship. Intimacy is what makes a relationship solid.

You have to make sure also that this activities are above child rearing.
Resolve conflicts immediately – it’s indeed very hard to say sorry when you are both in the middle of a heated agreement. In some cases, it is easier to create a fight and go to your separate sections.
