Congratulations for your relationship... Make sure you always communicate with each other. Be honest and open. And of course don't do anything that will really offend your partner. Reassure her of your love and most of all try to do lots of things together and do not stick with a routine.

To make a relationship strong you have to be faithful and trustworthy. Only have eyes for him or her and keep promises you make! Plus being respectful by making sure you think before you speak or do something. Do things that you both like and try to learn or enjoy something that your partner does. Therefore making you two have more things in common to enjoy!

rannel you should always remember that in a relationship both of you need to forgive each other and solve any issues right away. if you will keep it, the tendency is you will get angry and vulnerable by the time her mistakes are too much for you to handle. another thing if she's tired, offer her a massage and show it to her that you really want to do it.girls are very difficult to deal with...so if you notice that she is always angry or in mood swings, try to ask her what is the problem, or if you can give enough time to find items or gifts that you know she will fell in love with it, surprise her and give a gift.try to arrange surprise dates but not too classic (too formal is not ideal), try to take her somewhere that you know that is the place for her (depending on her character, ok?)

It take a whole lot of hard work to reach to a stage of a "good and strong relationship". The two people involved has to work together in this effort. If it is one-sided then you have a problem. My husband and I have come to learn (took a while I must admit) that communication is essential to a good marriage (relationship) - frequent, deep and honest communication. A couple has to be open to accept each other's differences (don't try to change her!! This is a mistake frequently made by women the most). Have quality time, spend time together - this is crucial! Remember special days - anniversaries, birthdays, even doctor's appointments if necessary! Shower her with gifts "just because", you don't have to buy expensive gifts, a porcelain cup with her name on it / a love note costs about $2.00 but will be treasured for life! Give compliments (be specific), tell her how much she means to you and don't be scared to show affection even in front of friends and family! Be yourself and have fun. Go on dates and enjoy the courtship period. This is just the few things I can think of at the moment . . . I hope it helps and GOOD LUCK!!

Hi rannelboyp.You know you cant plan the whole thing out.I mean,its supposed to happen by itself.If you try and make it happen,it'll probably be more difficult to achieve.A good relationship will depend on you and also your partner.You may be doing everything right but because of the other person,things may not work out.I'm not saying it isn't possible to have a serious relationship.I'm saying that just carry on your relationship thinking about your present and not your future,and you'll find you've found something beautiful.To start with,understanding is the key to all things great.be understanding,make sure you talk about everything at the same time don't be nagging.Hehe.Just take things slow,be yourself and evrything will fall into place-you won't have to do anything.Actually that should be a sign that your relationship is strong enough to move to the next level-when both of you don't do anything and still end up having a great time together and time just flies.It means you don't have to try too hard.So thats good.Take care.Let me know how it goes!
