After a while in relationships, familiarity grows and so does the tendency to take each other for granted. As this happens, true love tends to diminish. After a while, we may just feel like roommates. Is there a way to keep the true love strong?

Yes and no. Becoming familiar with our partner is going to happen. Taking them for granted some is going to happen. Anything we come in contact with day in and day out is going to become more automatic and appear less fresh over time. This is going to happen in your relationship.

However, you don’t have to lose the vitality and true love from your relationship as this happens. There are things you can do to keep the love alive. To begin with, understand this vital point: you don’t need overwhelming feelings of true love all the time to feel intimate with your mate. Just a little experience of true love, lasting a few minutes a day, is all you need. A little true love goes a long way.

Here is a simple practice for keeping true love alive. Think of three things you appreciate about your mate. Do it right now. Then, turn this into a habit, think of three things you’re grateful for about your lover every day. They can be the same three things, but some gratitude will keep the door open for true love.

The next thing you can do to keep true love alive is to express some of it every day with your lover. Don’t sit around waiting for them to show their love, you show yours first, every day. This can be as simple as a strong hug, or a shoulder massage, or walking around the block with them and sharing your day.

If you want to keep true love going strong in your marriage, make these two simple practices a daily habit. Appreciating some things about your relationship is simple and takes only seconds, but it can change the feel of your intimacy. And not waiting for a reason to share and express some love is a great thing to do regularly for the both of you.

We make things into a habit when we do them every day for a month. Do these two things every day for a month and they will become automatic. Then you will automatically do things every day to keep true love going strong.
