Relationships are hard. I'm not just talking about the boyfriend-girlfriend kind. Relationships can be hard with family members, friends, and even coworkers. So how do you make them happy? How do you keep a relationship from falling apart in the first place? That's what we want to cover today...

Do you ever get the feeling that your relationship is missing something? That you're not as close as you'd like to be?

You're not alone.

In fact, it's a common feeling that can make people feel like their relationship isn't going anywhere. But what if we told you it's totally normal?

What if we told you that couples who have a good amount of closeness in their relationships tend to have happier marriages? What if we told you that intimacy is actually something everyone has the potential to achieve?

If these things are true, then why do so many people find themselves in troubled relationships? Here are some of the top secrets to a happy relationship:

1) Get to know each other. Start by talking about how your day went and what kind of workday challenges you both face (or don't face). You'll learn more about each other if there's an opening for discussion!

2) Be open with one another about your feelings. This includes talking about problems and concerns without judgment or criticism. It also means being willing share when things are going well and what makes your partner happy (and vice versa). 

3) Be honest with each other. Honesty is key in any relationship—whether it's talking about the past or future—and sometimes it can be hard to tell the truth when.

4) Do the things that make you happy! You might think that being together means doing things together all the time, but sometimes it's okay for one of you to just go do something by yourself—like watch TV, cook dinner, read a book… if it makes you feel good!

5) Don't worry about what others think about how your partner treats them (or vice versa). It's okay if someone doesn't like the way their partner treats them… but don't let that stop you from doing what makes YOU happy!

6). Respect yourself and others' boundaries. No one wants to be around someone who feels like they have no control over their own life, so remember that your partner needs space too—and setting boundaries helps keep everyone safe while still allowing them some autonomy.

The truth is, all relationships require maintenance. The successful pairs, are the ones that consistently find ways to keep their bond healthy and strong. Find your workbook again, and go over these tips for a few minutes each day, and you will see that keeping your relationship strong does not need to take over your life.
