All relationships go through a bad patch from time to time so it is important to learn how to avoid a long term relationship break up.      

It is so easy to take our partner for granted at times, expecting that they understand what is happening, but when it gets to the point where they start to feel neglected and ask where they stand on your priority list, you need to be careful.  Think of what will happen if someone else starts to show them some attention.  Will they be tempted or not?  Who knows?  It can all happen so quickly and then it may be too late.    

So you have to get in there before things turn sour.  So start by arranging a date night.  Fix up a babysitter for the kids and have a night out just the two of you together.  If the finances are difficult, dispatch the children off to bed early and cook dinner for just the two of you.  Light a couple of candles and put a small bouquet of flowers on the table.  Tonight it is just the two if you together, so make sure that the television is turned off.  Decide that this evening you are going to talk about yourselves so for once that means avoiding talking of the children, the family problems and budget. The only admissible conversation is what you would say to each other on a night out when you are dating.  Behave as if you don’t know each other very well and so are trying to rectify this and learn a little more about each other.     

Things often start to get a little less active on the sexual front as the relationship gets older. Yet it is so important to have some physical contact, even if it is only hugging each other and holding hands together.  You need to always have that little bit of intimacy.  When the only intimate scenes you see are on the television you need to do something to liven up your relationship a little.   

You may think it is all of little importance but you so wrong.     You have to get back to being in love with each other, just like you were when your relationship began.  You likely were attracted to each other physically in the first place.            

Partners who can amuse themselves together and share what they are truly thinking and feeling have something that will help them stay bonded together as they get older. Life is not always easy and so it is so much more enjoyable to have someone with whom to share the later years of your life happily.
