It sounds like the most obvious thing in the world, really. But making sure you actually spend time with your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife is SO important.
It is very easy to get into the habit of just being in the same house or doing the things you always do when in each other's company, and not really making the effort to talk to your partner. Away from all the distractions in the house like phones, computers, TV etc.
Relationships, from what I have seen and on a few occasions experienced, don't just keep going without actually working hard at them. We all change as we get older and move through different stages in our lives. To help a relationship keep working, I think it is very important to keep dating (the person you are with of course!!).
I have been with Bob for five years now, we have been married for two years and four months, and we still take a night out of each month to go out for a meal and have a really good catch up and talk about anything and everything.
I am going through changes at work as I am being promoted and it's getting a heck of a lot busier, and Bob is director of a company so he is always crazy busy too, so it's really nice for us to sit down and let each other know where we're up to. I think it helps us grow together as a couple.
I really enjoy date nights. They are very special.
I hope everyone else does the same and takes the time to keep getting to know their loved one. Its so, so important :)
