Love to love. I love being in a relationship that brings me peace and fulfillment, that makes me dream every day and feel excitement. But it’s not always like that, because every partner brings with them little flaws that sometimes shake the harmony in the relationship. That’s why we need to remember the basic rules of long-term relationships, which both partners are obliged to respect.

These are rules that come naturally from the moment you get involved in a relationship, but which we sometimes forget when grey clouds threaten our relationship. That’s okay, we’re here to remind ourselves of them together. If you think it’s necessary, jot them down in the diary you keep with you every day and take a look at them when appropriate.

Pay attention to what the other person says
You may have a partner who doesn’t usually open up to people, even to you, no matter how much you love each other, so when you catch a moment like this, you’d do well to give yourself to them completely. Be there, be present body and soul and don’t let a word escape you. Don’t interrupt him to give him advice (maybe he just wants you to listen, not to find the solution to his problem), don’t say every time “I know what it’s like, I’ve been there, let me tell you about it” and don’t show interest in anything else while he’s talking to you.

And this applies not only in cases where one partner is a closed nature, but in any discussion between two people who form a couple. Pay attention to what the other is saying and you might get some answers you’ve been waiting for, to questions you’ve only been thinking about.
