Tell him what you admire and value about him. Discuss future goals as a group. When you're talking to your lover, you can tell him about intriguing tales or activities you've done together. This will make him feel important and loved. Relationships are a give and take situation. You both must be willing to compromise. If he doesn't like something you did, then let it go. Don't argue with your partner if they don't agree with your point of view. Show him affection. Physical contact such as cuddling or kissing helps people feel closer emotionally. Giving and receiving attention helps people grow closer together. Have fun together. Life should not be taken too seriously. Laugh often and love deeply. Both parties need to enjoy themselves in order for the relationship to remain strong. Learn from each other's mistakes. We all make mistakes, but only those who admit them can learn from them. Admit when you are wrong so that you can move on. Don't expect your lover to read your mind. It is not their job to know what you want before you say it. Give them time to think about their response first before asking again.
