Everyone knows that perfect couple that just seems to have it all. How do they do it? Well, the secret to a happy relationship is more than just loving each other, it’s putting in that extra effort to make the relationship last. Are you searching for that ideal, enduring love? Well, you’re not alone. There are a lot of gay men out there searching for the right formula to maintain a long lasting, happy relationship.

Having a long-lasting relationship is not as easy as simply finding that special person. Relationships take hard work. If you are lucky enough to have found an amazing person that you want to be with for a long time, I congratulate you! But you should probably check out this article to make sure that your relationship stays as happy and healthy as it is today.
Happy relationships mean listening to each other, talking things out, remembering to make the other person feel good, and keeping things exciting. Read on to find out more…

1. Give each other space to flourish
When you first get together, you may want to spend every hour of the day with your new love. Work and other commitments can seem to be obstacles that keep you away from each other. But in reality, spending time apart, doing things individually can be enormously beneficial to a relationship. At the very least, it gives you something to talk about. But more importantly, it shows that both of you don’t want to possess each other. If you want a relationship that will stand the test of time, allow your boyfriend to be supremely himself. This may mean giving him space.

2. Be loyal
Never belittle your boyfriend in front of other people. Even if you think he’s wrong, support him in public. Always hold the line with your loved one, and only air any serious disagreement or problem you with him in private.

3. Deal with disagreements constructively
You are bound to have disagreements from time to time. In order to stop these from becoming conflicts, here are some of the things to do:
  • keep it specific: rather than “you always do that”, focus on the incident you’re talking about;
  • make it about you not him: “I was disappointed…” is much better than “you upset me…”
  • really listen to him and seek to understand what he’s saying instead of thinking about your next response.

4. Be truthful
If you want to build up trust, you need to live out the behavior you expect of him.  We all know how little lies can soon become big ones, so be honest.  Make sure you don’t promise more than you can deliver.

I’ll say it again, relationships take work. If you really love the person that you’re with, you should put as much work and effort into the relationship as you put into other passions in your life.
If you’re up to the challenge, follow these tips to help keep your relationship happy and healthy. And try sharing them with your man… after all, happy, long lasting relationships come from both parties making an effort to make them great.
