Have you been in a relationship for a long time, love your partner and know that the feeling is reciprocal, even if you don't show it every day anymore? or worse every month?
With so many worries that we face about work, career, and family, it is very common to end up letting the relationship fall into routine. But this is not the ideal situation, do you agree?
Leaving the relationship behind forever, postponing romantic moments, deep conversations and physical displays of affection, can end up undermining all the feeling that exists between you.
Even though the unbridled passion of the early days has calmed down, are there any attitudes that couples in a strengthened relationship have in common? and you can start practicing today. Check out:
1. United partners are there for whatever comes
Unfortunately, life always surprises us with rather unpleasant events such as job loss, illness or death in the family. In these situations, can you imagine your partner by your side? What if it was the other way around? Can you imagine giving unconditional support to your partner in the most difficult times?

If you are unsure about the answer to these questions, this may be the time to rethink your relationship. Partner support is the foundation for building a solid love.
2. Loving Partners Are Generous to Each Other
Do you stop doing your thing for a few moments to solve a problem for your partner? Does he remember to bring his favorite candy when he goes to the bakery? Do you try to make each other laugh even with silly things?
These small gestures of generosity are very important in making the other person feel valued, especially when you already add some relationship time. This is because generosity, in its most varied forms, is also seen as love.
3. Lasting couples have a language of self-love.
We're not talking about your intimate nicknames and your inner jokes, although these things are important as well. According to Gary Chapman, author of the book? The Five Languages of Love ?, we can all transmit and feel love in five ways: by physical touch, by words of affirmation, by acts of service (help in doing), for the quality time and the exchange of gifts (cards, souvenirs, flowers).
For a relationship to work, you need to understand the language of love that works most for the couple. Know your own way of communicating? and the partner's shape too? Helps strengthen the relationship.

4. Loving partners make themselves present even when they are exhausted.
Listening and paying attention to your partner are important factors in showing your love and respect for him, and him for you. This includes stopping what you are doing to receive your partner when he has just arrived, for example, or he or she accompanying you on a program you love but find it a little boring.
Being present shows that one partner values the other's needs and is able to put them above their own interests.
5. Strengthened Couples Keep Romance On
Did you ever think that if you keep doing what you were doing at the beginning of the relationship, it wouldn't end? Of course, we know that the phase of passion ends after a while and that the obligations of everyday life sometimes disrupt the mood of romanticism.
Nevertheless, it is important to set aside some time so that you can enjoy the feeling that exists between the couple and relive some emotions of the first encounters. Going out to dinner for a couple, traveling for a weekend or spending a night at a nice hotel in the city are some ideas you can come up with.
Is putting your partner and relationship above your daily obligations a good way to strengthen your union? but of course this is only true if the dedication is mutual. If you realize that only you are willing to do so, it may be time to rethink whether this relationship is really worthwhile.
