Whether you’re in a new relationship, looking for a new partner or have been together for many years, take a look at how you communicate your needs and desires.

When you make some even very small changes, you’ll begin to see how love and intimacy grows in amazing ways.

Here are some ways to have a happy relationship:

1. Love your partner unconditionally even if it is hard not to be selfish.
2. Consider your partner’s perspective when it comes to matters of the heart.
3. Never argue in public, but indulge in public display of affection.
4. As soon as possible end an argument, hugging your partner this time is good even if it feels not.
5. Communication is better. Communicate with each other a lot of times.
6. Give space to each other to become better individuals. Even the closest of relationships need some alone time to miss each other now and then.
7. Never take each other for granted. This is the easiest way to fall prey to affairs and arguments.
8. Say a white lie when you need to, especially if it’s a little lie that won’t change your relationship, but will make your partner feel happy.
9. Never shy to say from positive criticism. As long as you say it in a constructive manner, it’ll help your partner become a better person.
10. Be the shoulder to lean on, no matter what. Tough times are the most testing phases of a relationship. Stand by your partner, and when the storm ends, love will shine brighter.
11.  Have a date with your partner even if you’ve been together for years. It keeps the love alive.
