Ask the questions that you really want the answers to!!
Do you know your mate's long-term relationship plans? Are they for or against marriage?
Knowing the answers to questions like these can very crucial to the longevity and success of your relationship. This is a discussion that must take place early in the dating/relationship stages. Ask questions, be upfront, and find out the answer to the BIG questions that you really want to know. In case you don't get the answer that you want, it's better to find out sooner than later.

Always Date Each Other!!
Whether you’re in a relationship, living with someone, engaged, or married, always remember to DATE each other and spend time like you did in the beginning. While things change in our lives (kids, jobs, etc), which require time to be devoted to other things, always work to find time for each other. IT MATTERS!

Dish Out Your Desired Treatment!!
Remember to love and treat your mate the way that you want them to love and treat you. You get just as much as you dish. If you aren't willing to do as much as you are asking of others, don't be disappointed when you don't get what you want.

Break from the world, Tune into each other!!
Everyone looks forward to Friday and all it brings. Friday starts the weekend and you're ready to relax and/or party alone or with friends, just don't forget to do the same with your mate!

Trust, trust, trust!!
Trust is vital to any type of lasting relationship. Have faith in your mate and trust that if you have true love that they will do what's right for you. Without 'trust', you definitely have 'doubt' which will slowly break your relationship.
"The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them."-Ernest Hemingway

Laugh until you cry!!
Laughter is not only good for the soul, but it's great for your relationship. Don't forget to always have fun and enjoy endless laughs with your mate. It keeps stress to a minimum and keeps you in tune to the person you know and love. Throughout the day share a laugh with your mate face-to-face, through text, email, IM or on the phone. Sometimes you'll cry together, but you ALWAYS need to LAUGH together.

Money Talk!!
Whether people admit it or not, finances are important whether it's just you or you and your mate. Be open about your finances and talk about what you both can do to save money and make wise spending choices. It shouldn't matter exactly how much money either of you makes, but together, it matters how you spend it. Sit down and Money Talk with your mate. You'll thank yourself later.

Sharing is Caring!!
When you have a good idea or a plan on how to make things better in any aspect, SHARE, SHARE, SHARE with your mate. Share your dreams, plans, and hopes in life with each other. 'Sharing is Caring' and there's no better feeling then knowing he/she has your back and cares about what is important to you. They can only do so if they are aware of what's going on in that head of yours.

Having a Healthy Relationship!!
How HEALTHY is your relationship? And I'm not talking health in terms of how happy you are? I'm talking Health, Fitness! Make sure your mate is healthy if you want to enjoy them for several more years to come. Get regular physicals, eye exams, and dental checkups. When you have time, workout together or just go for a long walk or jog on a regular basis. The healthier you are, the happier you can be. So check on your mate today and find out just how HEALTHY your relationship is. Awareness is key!

Live like kids again!
Don't ever lose touch with the kid in you! Do you ever sit around and reflect on how great your carefree life as a kid was or how fun it was to date when you were younger? Well, bring that back!! Play games, tell jokes, be silly with your mate. Restore the youthfulness in each other and just watch how things change for the better in your relationship. There is nothing like a good laugh or playing an old childhood game with your mate. Give it a try and find out for yourself.
