Romantic relationships are something that is extremely complicated, and also exciting and wonderful at the same time. No relationship is perfect, so it is important to keep improving yourself while also improving your relationship with your significant other.

Maybe you don’t have any problems in your relationship, but all you want to do is to spice things up a little bit, and make sure to keep your love going strong. Either reason is a great reason, but it can be hard to know where to start.

If you don’t know where to start, here are five things you can do for your romantic relationship:

Look at Your Love Languages

If you haven’t heard of the different love languages, you can start by finding out what each other’s love language is. This is a test of sorts that tells you how a person receives love the best. So maybe you really appreciate gifts or spending quality time with someone, and that’s how you feel loved the best.

If you already know, and are aware of each other’s love language, that is great. There is also a way to step up your game, and just try to love that person how they need to be loved. Let’s say they come home from a really hard day at work, and don’t want to cook dinner. While their love language may be physical touch, you can show them love by cooking dinner for them that night.

Try New Things

Yes, you read that right. You both probably have some things that you enjoy doing together already, which is great. But one thing that can really change your relationship is to start doing new things together.

This could be taking a cooking class together. Start by looking at cooking class reviews, then plan a time to go together. Take the new recipes and techniques you learned and try them at home. You can also learn to spice up the food you already enjoy together with essential oils. Oils like cinnamon, clove, and orange can be easily incorporated into your old favorites to spice things up.

Bond with Each Other

If you both live in the same space and bed, but aren’t really doing anything together, you are basically just coexisting, and not creating a meaningful romantic relationship. Bonding is so important, and really creates a strong relationship. This can be done physically through touch and sex, but it can also be done by building trust with each other. This may mean that you both decide to go to therapy and work on things separately, and together. Overtime, this will build a stronger relationship by working out any kinks or past problems that are unresolved.

Keep Dating

If you do not keep rediscovering people, and what makes them tick, you don’t really know that person. If you stop dating once you get married or move in together, you are going to grow apart from that person, and not have a solid relationship with them.

Dating them means that you are always spending quality time with each other. This means that you aren’t just watching a movie with each other every night, or going to the movie theater. While movies are great, it is important to talk with the other person and do things with them.

Stay Connected

There are a lot of things that get swept under the rug in relationships that always come back some time in the future. If you stay connected and circle back to problems and work through them, this will really help your relationship stand the test of time, and not implode or fizzle out. It is important to stay connected by communicating with each other on a daily basis. End of day check-ins are usual, and many couples find this helps keep expectations realistic, and opens up a safe space to share feelings.

Committed relationships can be extremely fulfilling when they are with someone who is trustworthy, and willing to work things out. What is the best piece of relationship advice that you have ever been given?
