15 Things To Do To Keep Your Relationship In 2020.

The new year has commenced, some relationships have hit the rock already due to things that could have been avoided easily. There are basic things to be done to keep your relationship in the year 2020 and beyond.

1] Stay true — cheating never works — never surrender your integrity.

2] Listen more than you talk. Think more than you say.

3] Don’t keep score. You don’t win at marriage. Strive to stay even.

4] Intimacy and affection are not always sexual. A promise is as good as the act.

5] Women crave sex for intimacy and acceptance — Men crave sex for validation. If either isn’t getting what they need, they will seek it elsewhere.

6] Sometimes she just wants to be held. If she doesn’t she’ll let you know.

7] Let him know you are interested. Don’t think he should see you are interested and act accordingly. If you want it ask.

8] Pick up after yourself. Flip the laundry. Do the dishes. Cook a meal or two or three ect and change a diaper. Neither took a vow to be the maid — if you did — the 1800’s called and want their vow back.

9] Don’t pick a fight. Stop. Wait. Think. Then say what you mean and mean what you say after you stop being angry.

10] Don’t go in thinking he or she will change or you will change them. Change grows organically from within.

11] A divorce is like finding a woman you hate and buying her a house. If that joke isn’t funny — don’t buy a house.

12] Maintain your financial independence. Everyone who was ever married either died or were divorced — you’ll need your financial independence.

13] Sometimes she cries for no reason — sometimes he broods over non-sense. This too shall pass.

14] He or she might be your one, but eventually they will be the half or the quarter — strive to keep growing back together.

15] Watch her family and see how her father treats her mother — that’s her expectation. Watch his family — that’s his expectation. If you can’t imagine living in such an environment — you won’t — don’t hesitate to reset your expectations.

Do the things listed above and watch your relationship blossom in 2020.
