Being in a healthy relationship is hard in this day and age. Sometimes it's easy to sit on your phone and scroll together, but that isn't a date. Try these 10 things to spice up (or fix up) your relationship!
1. Actively listen.
It doesn't cost a dime to actually listen. Actively listen, and engage in the conversation. If you care, the conversation is likely to be anything but boring!
2. Remember the little things.
This piggybacks off number one, but remember what you hear! If they mention they're stressed about something, ask how they're doing with it after a little while. Show them you care.
3. Tag them in memes!Â
Everybody loves a good meme, and being tagged by your favorite person makes it so much better!
4. Try to find new shows together!Â
There is a constant stream of new shows coming out each season. Try some of them! It's just another way to spend time together each week.
5. Learn about their hobbies!Â
Google is your friend! Do they like succulents? Learn about them! Maybe you'll find a local shop or event, and it'll make you look thoughtful AF! Do they struggle with their mental health? Research it, and find easy self-care tips that you can to together!
6. Plan something...
Sometimes we get sick of choosing. Make a plan. Choose a show, or dinner, or ANYTHING. Take control!
7. Say exactly what you mean!Â
Don't say what you think we want to hear, because you honestly have no clue. Be honest, and open. Just talk!
8. Keep your word.
Nothing is more attractive than someone who knows the value of plans and promises.
9. Learn their love language!Â
Do you know their love language? Do you even know what a love language is? Figure it out and see what happens...
10. Push them to be their best self...
If you're not making them better, you're making them bitter.
