Relationships are very tricky! It is basically putting two beings together, both who come from different backgrounds, beliefs, and views. Mixing it all up and hoping that there won’t be any arguments and that the two beings will live happily ever after. ‘Marriage only relationships’ and marriage within itself aren’t easy. It takes hard work and dedication to grow together and to make the relationship last forever. GoMarry.com has a lot of relationships advice articles to help and guide you towards a wonderful and happy marriage. The only step you have to take is to apply these tips and tricks. Here are a few things that a relationship needs to help it grow and be successful:
Communication & Trust
Talking is the only way for you to get your point across. If something is bothering you, you need to talk to your partner about it. In a calm and gentle manner – of course. Part of communicating is listening too. You can’t have a decent conversation when it’s always one-sided, make sure you listen to your partner and that you hear what they say. Trust is one of the key factors in a relationship. Without trust we have nothing. If you make a promise to your spouse you have to keep your end of the promise. Breaking promises and not following up on your word, can cause great disaster within a relationship.

Forgiveness & Similar Activities
Forgive your partner’s mistakes and move on. As difficult it may seem, you have to try and not hold any grudges towards your partner whenever they do something that hurts you. Grow together by finding similar interests. A couple who do things together stays together. Avoid living double lives where one partner does his own thing and the other does the opposite.
Quality Time & Consideration
Always make time for each other. Spend quality time together where you put away your phones and just reconnect. This is vital in growing together and staying together. Be considerate towards each other’s needs. When your partner isn’t feeling great it is part of your responsibility to support them and cheer them up. If your partner hates a messy kitchen, don’t be inconsiderate by always leaving it in a mess. Help clean up the house’s common areas and be considerate towards your partner sleep and living patterns.
Consistency
Nothing is worse than spending your relationship on an emotional rollercoaster. It’s important that both of you stay consistent. You can’t be loving one day and cold the next. Being consistent in the way you treat each other plays a vital part in the success of a relationship. One partner will start isolating themselves when they feel like the other is inconsistent in behavior and habit.
Yes, relationships aren’t easy. But we are all only human and when we strive to be better towards ourselves and towards our partner, you will be successful. Follow more of my relationship advice on the GoMarry.com site, to help guide you through difficult times.
