You can always improve your relationship. It's just a matter of choice. A misunderstanding or problem in a relationship if not for the grace and power of God, can bring down the relationship of two people who are truly in love; that’s why we ought to put God first in our affairs. When your relationship is based on sex or other material benefits, it won’t last because there is no strong base to hold it. A strong relationship that is meant to last long has love, commitment and determination as its features to make it grow. As it develops, it makes way for branches that can never easily fade away.
There are always ups and downs in a relationship, things must not always go as you plan or expect, but the quest and hunger to settle this problems in your relationship makes it possible for you to improve it. As you keep on in such relationship, no matter the situation and condition you find yourself, there will be room for improvement because your relationship and love is unconditional and can stand the test of time. When there is an issue to settle between you and your partner, listen and don’t interrupt when he/she is talking. In every conversation we always want to be heard and get to say everything we want, so listen and after which try to settle your difference; you will find out that both of you will definitely reach an agreement. That improves your relationship and makes it last longer.
We often say that we can’t please someone else to displease ourselves we might be right to some extent but I want to tell you that there are things we should do for love, you should be able to do anything within your strength to improve your relationship. If your partner wants sex; allow it to happen if you are expected to miss that appointment; let it go, if your partner doesn’t want red paint on the wall; choose another color. For a relationship to last long, both partners should jointly make it happen; it is not a one sided thing because each partner has a role to play so that there relationship can be improve. No relationship is perfect but you can make yours perfect if you wish. You can make it last if you want to.
