your partner will endure no matter what! It requires maintenance, care, commitment, and fulfillment of each other’s needs. 3.Keep laughing At least once a week, do something that is pointless and outside the normal routine. Don’t allow yourself to give destructive excuses like “I don’t have time,” “I’m too stressed,” “I had a tough week,” etc. Performing a simple yet fun activity will not only give you balance, but also the energy you need to keep moving in both ways. 4.When you are together, be present Your work may require longer hours. This shouldn’t be a problem as long as you remain present during the remaining hours you spend with your partner. Resist your urge to check your mail, and don’t make this one last call! Just as your work requires your

attention, your relationship also necessitates your devotion and presence. Look at it this way; what would be more beautiful than sharing your success in work with the one you love? On the other hand, how would you feel if you lost your partner because you were too focused on a career that may change in a blink of a second! The fate of any relationship is determined by the effort of both parties. And, if there’s anything I’ve learned from studying relationship coaching is that it will never come without a little bit of effort. Only then couples will be able to build amazing careers, families, and lives together. Even though nothing’s perfect in life, it is a special gift when you find someone that loves you -- really loves you -- and wants to see you grow in every way.
