We should all strive to keep our relationships alive and flourishing. We must ALL make a conscious effort of this in order to be successful at it. Relationships cannot be one-sided. Both parties must equally be committed to strengthen their qualities. Here is a top ten list of relationship goals to keep the fires burning: 

❤ Be honest ALWAYS – This CAN be simple. Just let it be. 

❤ Make your relationship a top priority! It’s not that hard. Don’t make excuses. Everyone has the same amount of hours in their day. What would you do without the love of your life? 

❤ Stay intimate – This is a MUST! Everyone needs to feel wanted sexually. It’s the same for men and women alike. Intimacy itself is a beautiful way of overcoming tension, insecurity, and feelings of seclusion. It strengthens the bond between a couple and symbolizes love and affection. Sex is stellar medicine for your relationship. 

❤ Communicate!! This is key. It can be hard – especially if one or both of you are not good at talking and/or expressing, but it is imperative. Many relationships have failed due to a lack of communication. Don’t let this be you! Trust me! It may be awkward at first, but you will both feel SO much better after that dreaded conversation. So, plan it! Pour two glasses of wine, go to the back porch swing or any quiet place you can talk and just let it flow. You can thank me later 😉 

❤ Be friends – Don’t forget why you fell for each other in the first place. Most people are attracted to each other in some way physically, yes. But, there is usually a deeper love than physical appeal. The ability to be good friends is that “I think I’ve found my soul mate” sense of love that we long for all our lives. Laugh together. Be silly together. Listen to your favorite bands and watch your favorite flicks. Go to a local trivia. Make the time for it! 

❤ Be loyal. Need I say more? This is easy. I don’t understand why people can’t do it. Just love your person fully and completely. Throw all of your focus and extra time into your relationship. 

❤ Be ecstatic to see your lover every day! When you walk through the door, have the biggest smile on your face to see the love of your life and embrace them with a hug and kiss like you are meeting them for the first time ever. When you wake in the morning, say good morning. When you go to bed, say goodnight. And, always embrace, and/or give a kiss or a hug, or some little spark of love to show how much they mean to you. They will always notice. 

❤ Support each other – You will both have trying times and wonderful times. Be supportive of each other whether you are good at it or not. Get good. This is your job. Your person expects your arms to hold them and tell them it’s going to be okay and to help them. Let them cry. Ask them what you can do to help. You need to help them get through this time. There may be times they do better than you. Encourage them. Lift them up. Be happy for them and supportive of their achievement. 

❤ Explore new territory together – Nothing grows a relationship stronger like exploring new territory together. Just the two of you on a journey alone… wow! You will discover new and exciting things and experience strange and wonderful places! No distractions. No other people. How exciting! 

❤ Share Future Goals – Your future is together. It’s so important to be aware of each other’s plans and goals. Share this early in the relationship, and when plans and ideas might change, it’s important to talk about those potential changes before they happen. 

Conclusion: 

These ten relationship goals can and will keep the fire going in your love life. Follow them every day, and your relationship will flourish. Fail to feed the seeds of your love and it will die. Maybe not today, maybe not a year from now, maybe not ever, but it will never have the fire it once did. You can change this right now. #relationshipgoals #wingsinrelationships #rxrelationships #bethecouplegoals #changenow
