If you want to keep your foreign partner happy then don’t underestimate small gestures.

Finding the right partner creates a special connection that allows two individuals to grow into their happiest, healthiest selves. While spending time together brings people closer together, it can quickly become too familiar and even dull. That is why, even after many years, it is critical to make an effort to keep a relationship fresh and exciting.

A perfect relationship is never one-sided. When you make the effort to please your girlfriend and make her happy, she’ll voluntarily put in her effort at making you happier in love if she truly loves you back.

There are a lot of things you can do to keep the fire alive between you two. Some of them are things you probably already do with her while others aren’t.

A date night routine.

Most couples go on dates regularly during the initial phase of their relationship. However, going out to dinner eventually gets traded in for sitting on the couch. As a result, the relationship can become a little dull.

Schedule regular date nights so you can spend quality time together as a couple.

If you’re going to have a routine, make sure it includes a date night. Although it can seem a bit cliché, a study from the University of Virginia found that couples who dedicate a night each week to each other were 3.5 times more likely to feel “very happy” with their relationship.

Book a vacation and be adventurous.

A trip somewhere new breaks the monotony. Travelling together can strengthen a relationship and spark some romance.

A recent survey found that couples who travel together report higher levels of satisfaction in their relationship, communicate well, and have a better sex life.

Additionally, couples who often travel together say that they share similar goals and have good balance of their time together and apart. A lot of them have started to realise they share similar hobbies after spending so much time together travelling. They agree on how to spend their money too.

Most of them become best friends during the course of being lovers. They handle their differences well and are more patient with one another. More than seven in ten couples say that talking and reconnecting is an important reason to spend time alone together while on vacation.

So if you see a cheap travel deal, don’t miss out on it.

Try something new together.

There’s no need to do something complicated to keep the spark alive. Trying out something new can just as easily do the trick. It’s a good way to not only keep things exciting but also to create new memories with your foreign partner. Many foreign women tend to be open-minded so your partner will love the new things you want to try with her.

You could try skydiving or maybe visit a restaurant that has a cuisine none of you are familiar with and try some food. Go ahead and take golfing lessons together, or maybe take a cooking class with her instead. There’s tons of things you could try out. More examples are:

  • Get a couples massage
  • Attend dance lessons
  • Join a book club
  • Try playing video games together
  • Rent a paddle boat
  • Go bowling
  • Attend a local festival together
  • Attend a play or musical
  • Go fruit picking
  • Go tubing, kayaking or canoeing together
  • Play a sport none of you have tried before
  • Hunting or fishing
  • Horseback riding
  • Go ice skating
  • Go stargazing

And the list goes on.

Spend time with other couples.

Go on a double date with another couple. Spending time with couples who have healthy relationships can be good for you. Look for couples who share your values and who have a strong relationship. It can help reinforce the importance of commitment and help remind you to keep the relationship exciting.

Talk -- Discuss your hopes and dreams together.

It's possible that you discussed your hopes and dreams when you were dating. However, those kinds of conversations can fall on the wayside over time.

Set aside time to continue discussing it. Support one another in making those dreams a reality.

And focus on the positive!

All relationships have their ups and downs. Rather than focusing on fixing the problems, studies show that couples who work on growing the good tend to have stronger and more satisfying relationships. In order to build a happy and healthy relationship, couples need to realize that “happily ever after” doesn’t just happen.

Instead, it’s the healthy habits that do.

Become happy together.

It takes time and effort to become happy as a couple, and it's a lifelong process. The good news is that it gets easier with time and practice because you're strengthening and stretching your relational "muscles" over time.

Couples can develop new and healthier ways to relate to one another by recognizing the importance of effort and habits rather than falling into old harmful patterns and routines. As a result, couples will have stronger and more fulfilling relationships, as well as improved well-being and physical health.

Focus on finding and feeding the good in your relationship. In other words, focus on what’s going right with the relationship rather than what’s going wrong. By choosing to highlight what you and your partner like about each other, rather than dwelling on small annoyances or weaknesses, you can help build long-term love. One way to focus on the good is to identify your unique strengths and those of your partner.

Greet one another with excitement.

The way you greet one another after being apart can set the tone for the rest of the day. Changing small habits, such as the way you greet your partner when they get home, can be key to a lasting relationship.

Greet your partner at the door with a hug and a kiss and express your joy at being together again. This can start things off on the right foot and set you on the path to reconnect after being apart.

If you’re having trouble with how you adjust to healthy changes, start off with simple things such as this. Then ease into the other changes and surprises. If you start the process then she will see your effort and follow as well.
