Relationship Minute: Gotta Keep It Fresh.

Not everyone is looking for a long-term relationship, but most people who are in committed relationships are interested in keeping love alive for the duration. If everyone could afford regular romantic getaways, it might be easier. And if our time, money and energy weren’t already dedicated to carrying out our busy lives, we might have more of it for planning romantic evenings, giving thoughtful gifts and maintaining a robust sex life. The truth is that most of us have limited funds and other demands on our time and money that make it hard to prioritize quality time with our significant others.

Thankfully, there are things you can do to bring a renewed sense of vitality to your relationship that don’t involve spending large chunks of your savings or your time. Experts agree that a healthy sex life is key, with good communication the hand that turns it. Here are five positive ways to nurture these aspects of your relationship and keep the home fires burning.

5. Mind Your Manners.
What’s that old saying — “Familiarity breeds contempt”? This may be true for some, but more often, familiarity makes people take each other for granted.

4. Break Up the Routine.
no one remembers to commit tiny acts of love or express gratitude. Part of the trick to overcoming routine is to plan ahead, and part of it is being spontaneous.

3. Learn to Argue Well.
Some couples may be afraid to argue, believing that it’s a sign that they aren’t compatible or fearing that the argument will be the end of the relationship. Others use it as a prelude to passionate make-up sex. However, couples who know how to argue well find that it strengthens their connection with each other, and a strong relationship is a safe space for airing differences.

2. Maintain Outside Relationships.
At the same time, it’s healthy for couples to have friends they hang out with together. These friendships provide a way for a couple to be social together and explore common interests. They can also be a source of positive feedback for the relationship.

1. Grooming and Hygiene.
Remember at the beginning of your relationship when you always looked your best for each other, when not even a nose hair was out of place? Yeah remember that. Get back there.
