We all want to be in a happy relationship, whether it’s with someone we just met or someone we’re already with. But sometimes, no matter how hard the two try, it just doesn’t seem as happy as it could be. It doesn’t have to be that way, though. If you keep reading, you’ll find some great and easy ways to get your relationship back on track and make sure you’re happy most of the time (and maybe even all of the time, if you’re lucky).

Be Realistic
When you meet someone for the first time, you feel a rush of excitement, and everything they do seems cute, sexy, or just great. This turns into something else over time. You still love each other, but your relationship has changed and reached a new stage. That is perfectly normal and to be expected, and it doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
When the initial crush wears off, you need to be with someone you actually like. This is one way to be happy. If you’re dating someone you like, your day-to-day life will be better, and you’ll be able to tell your friend, who also happens to be your lover, everything.
Of course, it’s also important to be realistic about the ups and downs that every relationship has. There will be times when you fight and just don’t get along. To think that this will never happen is unrealistic and will make you much more unhappy than the fights would have if you had known they would happen at some point.
Work On The Relationship
For a relationship to be happy, it needs to be cared for and worked on all the time. If you leave it and don’t take care of it or the other person in it, the relationship can get damaged in ways that can be hard to fix. Think of a relationship as a flower: the more you care for it, the more beautiful it will be. If you leave it alone and don’t think about it, it will die.
It might seem like a lot of work to work on your relationship all the time, but it’s really very easy. All you have to do is pay attention to what’s going on around you and deal with any problems right away so they don’t grow into something much bigger. Talking about problems is also a good way to solve them. For example, if you’re having trouble with your job, your partner might suggest that you look for a new job, or if you’re worried about money, they might suggest that you get help or even be able to offer that help.
Spend Time Together
It’s important for a couple to spend time together, but it has to be quality time. Just sitting in the same room and watching TV in silence doesn’t count. If you’re busy and don’t seem to have time to do fun things with your partner, you’ll have to make time, because this is all part of working on your relationship, which, as we’ve already said, is very important.
Giving yourself time means letting someone else take care of your kids, pets, and maybe even your house. It means setting up a date night every month so you can look forward to something and get dressed up. Every time you go out, you can do something different and find new and interesting places to check out.
It’s important that you spend time with each other, especially if you feel like you’ve been growing apart. You can make your relationship happy by doing something as simple as trying a new hobby together or going out to eat and really talking.
Spend Time Apart
We just talked about how important it is for a couple to spend time together, but it’s also important to spend some time apart every now and then. One way to keep your relationship fresh and make sure you’re both happy is to be able to do your own thing by yourself or with friends.
If you are always together, you might get tired of each other’s company or find that your relationship is keeping you from trying something you would really enjoy and be good at, like a new job, a hobby, or starting your own business. If you take some time for yourself, you’ll be able to enjoy the relationship more, and it will be happier and stronger because of it.
Sometimes the things you do for and by yourself will benefit your partner in some way, but they definitely don’t have to. If you want to change your look and dye your hair when you have some time to yourself, that’s great. Remember to wash your hair before adding color, and don’t worry about what your partner will think; this is for you. The same goes for anything you want to do – if it doesn’t affect them, it’s your choice to make. However, you must be prepared for them to make choices for themselves as well, and you need to respect those choices if that happens.
Don’t Try To Change One Another
Even if you think your partner is trying to change you or if you think you might try to change them, it won’t change anything. It will only make the relationship unhappy and make one or both people feel like they aren’t good enough. There will be a lot of stress on the relationship, and in the end, it might not be able to handle it.
The best way to start a relationship is to know that you won’t like everything about the other person. It could be the way they drive too fast, the way they chew their food, or the fact that they like to wear their hair long when you think it looks better short. You need to remember that you can’t change these things, and you shouldn’t change them either. If someone wants to drive more carefully or cut their hair more often, that’s their choice and no one else’s. If they feel like they are being forced to change, the changes won’t last, and the person won’t be happy.
