No one can tell what’s going on in your head unless you tell them. But how do you do that? How can you be more loving in your relationship?

True love begins after the excitement that we all feel at the beginning of the relationship wears off. But it isn’t over if your bond hits a rough patch. The good news: incorporating some simple things can make you become a more loving partner. Seems too good to be true? Try the following suggestions and you might see a difference.
If you and your partner are not agreeing on things, or if you’ve been thinking about how you can be more affectionate to your partner, read on.

Provide space
No matter how close you are with somebody, you can’t be with them all the time. You have to give them some space to help them enjoy some “me” time.
Share the responsibilities
Making your partner do all the work can make them feel used. To avoid this, share the work to make them comfortable and for your relationship to run smoothly.
Communicate your love
It is the essence of a relationship. Actions speak louder than words. Instead of telling them, show them through your actions how much you love them.
Spontaneity can help
Years of being together can sometimes dull the excitement. If you want to revive it, be spontaneous. It will add a thrill to your relationship.
Acknowledge the efforts
If they go out of their way to do something special for you, show some appreciation. Don’t take them for granted. Also, acknowledge the little things they do regularly that keeps a home going.
Learn to compromise
Life is not always a fairy tale and relationships aren’t perfect. It comes with unexpected challenges that put us in unimaginable situations. However, a willingness to compromise can take your relationship a long way.
Listen to your partner
You’re physically in the conversation but your mind is wandering in places undiscovered. That’s not how true listening works. It involves a great deal of effort and attentiveness. Listening carefully is not an obligation but a way to show your commitment and how much you care about what they think.
Apologise like you mean it!
Do you apologise just for the sake of it and don’t mean it? Guess what everybody can sense if the person apologising is sincere or not. Don’t make a fake apology, especially if you mend a broken relationship.
Let go of the past
Most relationships are transparent, meaning a couple pretty much knows everything about each other. But that doesn’t mean you should bring it up in an argument. You shouldn’t be using their past to put them down – it is something they can’t change. Concentrate on your present and let go of the old issues.
Finding true love is rare and if there is a chance that this is the one, then make it happen. Don’t allow misunderstandings and your lack of expression get in the way of something so beautiful. If your relationship is suffering, take cues from the above tips and try to mend it.
