Article: At some point after you have been dating someone for a while, you will need to decide to make a commitment to each other. This commitment may come in the form of a label such as boyfriend or girlfriend or you may be so in love that getting engaged is the next step. Whatever the next step is for you, it is important to talk about it and make sure that you are both on the same page. Try saying something along the lines of, "I don't want to pressure you, but I like being with you. I would like to continue our relationship and I know that someday I want to be married/have kids/etc. What do you think?" In order to ensure a lasting love, you need to be trustworthy and be able to trust your partner in return. Building trust require you and your partner to be vulnerable with each other, be understanding, keep promises, and keep the lines of communication open. Each time that you trust your partner to take care of something for your or to keep his or her word, you are providing a chance for your partner to follow through and earn more trust from you. For example, if your partner is responsible for paying the electric bill each month, don't constantly remind him or her to do so. Trust that the bill will get paid. If it does, then you will have a deeper bond between you. Spending too much time together can cause problems in a relationship. If you spend every waking moment with your partner, then you may not appreciate the time that you have together as much. Make sure to plan activities apart and retain your independence as you continue your relationship. Try setting aside a night or day each week where you both do something on your own or with friends. Although it is important to have some time apart from your partner now and then, time together is also very important. Make sure that you set aside time each day to catch up, perhaps over your morning coffee, over dinner, or during an evening walk. You should also make time to do things together like you did in the early days of your courtship. For example, you can plan a movie night, a hiking trip, or a visit to a local museum. To maintain the spark in a relationship, find ways to surprise each other. You can do something as simple as bringing home some flowers or preparing a special dinner for your partner. Or, you can do something more elaborate like arranging a surprise birthday party or planning a dream vacation for the two of you. Look for ways to surprise your partner that will help him/her to feel special. Love may fade in a relationship if one or both partners do not feel appreciated. Make sure that you tell your partner what you appreciate about him or her on a regular basis. Be specific and make sure that the things you mention are about your partner, not about you. If you appreciate your partner on a regular basis, it is more likely that you will also be appreciated in return. For example, you might tell your partner that you appreciate what a good listener he is or that you appreciate the way that she always has something positive to say when you get home from work. Having shared traditions is a great way to strengthen a bond between two people or among families. You and your partner can create some traditions that will strengthen your bond as your relationship continues to develop. For example, you might start a tradition of revisiting the restaurant you went to on your first date on the anniversary of your first date each year. Or you might start a special holiday tradition, such as having a horror movie marathon on Halloween while you hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. As your relationship progresses, you can build a deeper bond by sharing things with your partner that you haven't yet told them. Tell your partner about your fears, hopes, and dreams for the future and ask about theirs. Be considerate of the things your partner shares with you, even if they seem unlikely or do not appeal to you. In every relationship, conflicts will arise and you will need to find ways to work through them so that you both feel satisfied. One of the best things you can do to deal with conflicts is to know when you are at fault (or at least a little at fault) and own up to it. Taking responsibility for your role in the conflicts that arise in your relationship will help to make conflicts easier to resolve. For example, if you and your partner often argue about money, be the first to say how you have contributed to your financial problems and invite your partner to identify some ways he or she has contributed as well. Identifying your shared shortcomings provides an opportunity for you and your partner to come up with ways to resolve the issues that you are both having regarding money, rather than blaming each other for causing the problem.
