No matter your status—single, dating, engaged, or married—relationships take work. And whether they end with tears or last until forever may depend upon countless factors, but your own actions, words, and thoughts undoubtedly play a role.

One thing that'll give you an advantage in the game of love? Soaking up all the wisdom you can from friends, researchers, matchmakers, and more. Here, i've distilled it down to the very best advice i have learned. Regardless of your personal situation, this words may help you uncover the key to long-lasting happiness.

1. Do or say something daily to show your appreciation.
"Saying and doing small, simple expressions of gratitude every day yields big rewards. When people feel recognized as special and appreciated, they're happier in that relationship and more motivated to make the relationship better and stronger. And when I say simple, I really mean it. Make small gestures that show you're pjavascript:void(0);aying attention: Hug, kiss, hold hands, buy a small gift, send a card, fix a favorite dessert, put gas in the car, or tell your partner, 'You're sexy,' 'You're the best dad,' or simply say 'Thank you for being so wonderful.'"

2. Realize every relationship has value, regardless of how long it lasts.
"There’s no such thing as a failed romance/love. Relationships simply evolve into what they were always mean to be. It’s best to not try to make something that is meant to be seasonal or temporary into a lifelong relationship. Let go and enjoy the journey."

3. Never take your partner for granted.
"This may sound obvious, but you can't imagine how many people come to couples councelling too late, when their partner is done with a relationship and wants to end it. It is very important to realize that everyone potentially has a breaking point, and if their needs are not met or they don't feel seen by the other, they will more than likely find it somewhere else. Many people assume that just because they are OK without things they want so is their partner. 'No relationship is perfect' shouldn't be used as a rationalization for complacency."

4. Remember to take breaks.
Taking break at times, is not what we take it to be. "A friend taught me that no matter how in love you are or how long you've been together, it's important to take an exhale from your partnership. Hang out with girlfriends until late in the evening, take a weekend trip to visit family, or just spend time 'doing you' for a while. Then when you go home to Yours Truly, you'll both be recharged and ready to come together even stronger."

Na! taking a break doesnt seem as we take it...just as av mentioned in the article.
Taking break calls for mutual agreement.

Even, in the process, you ca discover new things about your self and your partner.
Taking break should bolster the relationship not otherwise!
