Familiarity they say breeds contempt. This may be true for some, but more often, familiarity makes people take each other for granted. Just because you have been friends with someone for a while doesn't mean you know them totally or just because you have dated for a couple of years doesn't mean you should stop doing nice things for each other, or you stop asking how their day went at the end of the day.Not everyone is looking for a long-term relationship, but most people who are in committed relationships are interested in keeping love alive for the duration.
Say "thank you" often and sincerely, and say it for even the most mundane things.Like making you laugh when you are grouchy or not exactly in the mood. Sub consciously, your partner will feel appreciated.
Learn to argue well. Some couples may be afraid to argue, believing that it's a sign that they aren't compatible or fearing that the argument will be the end of the relationship. Others use it as a prelude to passionate make-up sex. However, couples who know how to argue well find that it strengthens their connection with each other, and a strong relationship is a safe space for airing differences.(I read a book somewhere which triggered this thought).
