How to Have a Happy Loving Relationship

All of us seek happiness in our lives.We all want to be loved and have a happy and long lasting relationship with a person that we care about.We fell in love for a reason,but being happy in a relationship is not so easy to achieve.Some relationships are stronger and more meaningful than others.A relationship is very tricky. Tensions build up over time and one day both the partners cannot bear the stress of the relationship and give it up.

Good open communication is essential to a happy relationship and marriage with your spouse.
Try New, Exciting Things Together
Some studies have shown that by simply doing new, exciting things together, you can rekindle romance in your relationship! Satisfaction goes up because you're spending time doing something exciting with your partner.
Flirt!
Just because you've been married or dating forever doesn't mean you should stop flirting. Make sure you let the other person you're still attracted to them. Often we stop flirting once we're in a relationship, but you don't have to! Flirting helps tell the other person that you're attracted to them-- plus it's fun!
Have a good balance of "together" and "separate" time
Never seeing your partner can be just as bad as being around them all the time. For a healthy relationship, you need some time separate. It makes you appreciate your partner more, plus you have something to talk about when you see them again.
Don't Hide Resentment
If something bothers you in a relationship, don't just try to hide it or forget it, because it will continue to build. Bring it up with your partner and ask him or her how you can fix it. Find a solution instead of letting it grow and damage your relationship.
Appreciate Each Other
Remember to say "thank you" when they do things for you, and say "please" when you ask. Don't take them for granted! Everyone wants to feel like they are appreciated. Sometimes when we get close to someone, we stop being polite and appreciative-- we are much ruder to them than we would be to a stranger! Remember to say "thank you" and complement them when they deserve it!
Learn to argue constructively
All couples argue, but when you argue, you can do it in a negative way (full of criticism) or in a more positive way that helps you to find a solution. Avoid being critical of your partner; instead of criticizing the way they are (ie, "you always forget to take out the garbage"), ask them, "How can I help you remember to do things around the house?". Once you start to criticize the way your partner is, instead of their actions, that can undermine your relationship.
Go to bed at the same time
Happy couples tend to go to sleep together. It gives you time to talk, cuddle, and spend time together.
Put Your Relationship First - truly committted!
If you are truly committed to making your relationship work, you will be devoted to solving problems that arise in order to benefit your relationship. Instead of thinking, "What if I was with someone else?" or "Maybe I'm better off alone", you should commit fully to your relationship. All relationships have issues and problems-- but commitment means you are committed to the relationship, no matter what, good and bad.
Have A Positive Attitude
Being optimistic and happy not only help you with life in general, but in a relationship as well. Believing that your relationship will last, that you are both working every day towards the perfect relationship, will help you succeed in having a happy life together. Negativity, criticism, and doubt can poison a good relationship. Work on having a positive attitude toward life and each other.
