3 Relationship Tips to Help You Grow a Stronger Bond

Look, I’m no “dating expert.” But, my fiancé and I have had an absolutely wonderful relationship, and I think there are 3 things that we have done that have protected our relationship so well! So, let’s get into it.

Put each other first.

Well, God first, then your significant other. This will undeniably create a strong and lasting bond between you. This also means not to slander them to your friends when you’re upset (unless you are in an abusive situation, in which case this does not apply). But it's important that you are each other’s number one. This also means compromising your time to help them, compromising your plans when they’re feeling down, and putting their needs above your own. They’re you're best friend and partner, ideally for life, so it’s important that you put the most into each other.

Communicate.

I think that communication is a lost art in the world of relationships, and I would argue that it’s the reason that so many of them fail. You need to talk about everything. Leave nothing unsaid. Always tell them what is on your heart, and always listen to them when they have something to say. Talk about your day, your dreams, what has been making you feel bad. Everything. All of it. You two are one, so make sure that there is no disconnect with your thoughts either.

Make everything a date.

My fiancé and I seriously make everything a date. You could say we have been in the “honeymoon phase” since we started dating in 2021 (and plan on keeping it that way forever) because we make everything special. Going for a hike? It’s a date. Going to the store? Date! Seriously, make everything you do with them a date. When you do everything together, everything starts to feel so much more fun, and you're spending time with your loved one. Win-win!

Now, there’s tons of other tips I could give you, but these simple three have made a huge impact for us, and I hope they can for you too!
