Relationships are complex dynamics and it takes time, involvement and constant indulgence to keep it going. But they are actually not as hard as it sounds. It only takes some heart and little bit of mind to make them last long.

Be involved: Any relationship needs involvement. Be it with your friends, family or girlfriend. And the closer and the more important a relationship is, the more it needs. So be involved with your partner.

Quality time: Spending quality time is one of the pillars of a successful relationship. It is these moments that will remain in your mind and will create a memorable relationship. It helps in bonding better and knowing each other well.

Coming out of conflicts: It is natural to have fights and have conflicts when you are in a relationship as no two people are alike. But it is essential that you work through those conflicts and move on. Do not hold on to differences and fights, learn to let go. It applies for both men and women.

Communicate: Communication is something that can make or break your relationship. Tell your partner what you feel. It is not necessary that you tell them only the good things in life, but negative thoughts, your concerns or even complains should be communicated. As long as you are open and transparent, there is no need to worry.
