Relationship Maintenance

Couples begin relationships by putting their best foot forward on every date, but that changes once they have been together for a while. They let down their guard, and they begin to relax with their partner. This is good because they are comfortable, but it is bad if they do not maintain the romance and attraction within the relationship. Relationships can die of neglect, and it is often the little events in life that hurt them.

When couples stop going out on a regular basis, they tend to get sloppy in their relationship habits. One may want to go to a show with friends, and the other person would rather stay home. If this occurs, it is best to go out because the event will be remembered by the partner who wanted to go. It may hurt their feelings, and they may eventually wonder why they are in a relationship at all.
