It's generally easy for most people to find someone to fall in love with. The problem is trying to keep that love for each other going; sometimes it just tends to die out. Understanding why love fails and avoiding the traps that lead to failure is a must for both you and your partner.
When you meet up with someone new, the first few months are pretty good. You feel you have met the person of your dreams and you have fallen in love. Everything about them seems perfect and you get along great. But what can happen is after you start to become familiar with each other and take each other for granted, the relationship can start to suffer.
When you reach this point you may be at a critical stage. You or your partner may think that you are falling out of love with each other and this may be far from the truth. The love may still be there, neither of you are not showing it the way you once did. This is a normal position to be in when a relationship reaches a certain point.
One of the ways to keep this from becoming a problem is learn to be good communicators with each other. When you first met your partner remember how the two of you could talk about anything? Try to maintain that as much as possible as the relationship progresses. Talk about how your day went, tell funny stories or talk about old times. Do not sit all day in the same house and never say anything to each other.
Sex is another area that can start to suffer as the relationship progresses. Again this does not necessarily mean your partner is not in love any more, this kind of thing happens many times in a relationship. Also as you age and your relationship has been intact for many years, an active sex life may not be as important as it once was.
These are a few of the common things that can trap a couple before they realize what happened. As long as you know what to look out for you will have a greater chance of keeping your relationship healthy for now and far into the future. There are couples that have been together for 60 years! You know it must have taken a lot of work to get that far, and following these tips may have helped them get there.
