What Makes a Great Relationship?

Lets face it...we lay awake at night often wondering what makes a great relationship? If you are in one now you may be wondering what you can do to make it better, or enhance it if you will? No matter how long you have been in your current relationship, there are three things that you absolutely must do to keep the passion and intimacy alive and growing. Do not be afraid to get a little risque! Although it is true that many things in a relationship may change over time, there is one thing that every couple would want to keep alive – the passion and intimacy. Surveys have revealed, however, that while couples want this is their relationship, very few actually manage to maintain it. In fact, more than 80% of relationships rate their intimacy and sex life as being less that what they would like.

This is a very sad statistic and there are a number of reasons why this is the case. One of the main causes is that we are simply not taught how to create, maintain and develop intimate relationships. It's not a part of our school system, so most people learn their intimate relationship skills from observing their parents' relationship or – even worse – from talking to their friends and peers.

There are three key things to a great relationship. They are things that the few couples with great relationships – those who do manage to maintain the passion and intimacy – have in common.

1. The relationship is the most important thing in the lives of both partners. When couples realize the truth that nothing has more of an impact on their happiness than the quality of their relationship, they tend to make it their top priority. That doesn't mean they don't do anything else, but it does mean that their decisions are based on the impact they will have on their relationship. Make your relationship the most important thing in your life and many other problems will sort themselves out.
       
2. The couple works on their intimacy. It is a total myth that intimacy just “happens naturally.” Like everything else in life, it must be given some conscious work and attention if it is to survive.
       
3. The partners make acts of intimacy into habits. Smiling at each other, touching, calling each other on the phone or texting when apart – these are small acts of intimacy that, when done habitually, make a hugely positive impact on the quality of the relationship. These couples know that doing things once in a while is not very effective; it is the cumulative effect of small things over time that determines the whole dynamic of a relationship.

If you are in a relationship and really want to improve the levels of intimacy and passion with your partner, think back to the time when you first got together. What were some of the things you did then that you no longer do? You will see that the three keys above were all part of your relationship then, and are what have slid as the relationship progressed...See where you may or may not have taken a wrong turn and get back on the right path.

So what do you need to do to get your romance back on the steamy charts? Get dirty, get sexy and be aggressive! Remember what brought you together and what turned you on about your partner!
