It’s easy to think that to make love last, you might have to make compromises and even lower your standards. Well, that’s not exactly true. It is possible to have both, no matter your circumstance. Whether you’ve been dating someone for a while, married, or building a new relationship, you can keep your standards high and still make love and relationship last.

If you expect your partner or friends to treat you in a way that’s anything less than you deserve, you are already setting your standards too low. If you want something that you believe you’ll never get from the relationship, the love isn’t likely to last.

Here, the trusted dating coach from The Wealthy Wonder Woman, shares how you can make love last without having to lower your standards:

Love Yourself First and Foremost

It is said that you cannot truly love someone unless you love yourself first. This may sound cliché, but it is actually very true. If you do not love and respect yourself, how can you expect someone else to do the same? In order to have a lasting, loving relationship, you need to make sure that your own needs are being met.

One way to do this is to set boundaries in your relationship. You need to be clear about what you will and will not tolerate from your partner. If you allow yourself to be treated poorly, you are not respecting yourself. If you do not communicate your needs, you are not respecting yourself. It is important to be assertive and to stand up for yourself in order to have a healthy, lasting relationship.

Do Not Lose Yourself in the Relationship

It’s easy to lose yourself in a relationship. You start spending more and more time with your partner, and before you know it, you’re living in their world. You do what they want to do, go where they want to go, and generally revolve your life around them.

But if you want to make love last, it’s important that you don’t lose yourself in the relationship. You need to maintain your own identity, interests, and friendships. Otherwise, you’ll end up feeling suffocated and resentful.

It’s important to have time alone, even if you’re in a relationship. Whether it’s going for a run by yourself, reading a book in your bedroom, or taking a yoga class, make sure you’re doing things that make you happy outside of your relationship.

Put in Effort, Too

It takes two to tango, and the same goes for making a relationship last. It’s not just one person’s job to keep the flame alive – both partners need to work at it.

Make an effort to do things that will make your partner feel loved and special, such as cooking their favourite meal, sending them a love note, or planning a special date night. It’s so important to show your partner that you appreciate them, both for who they are and for what they do for you. A simple “thank you” can go a long way, but you can also show your appreciation by doing things for them, such as taking care of a chore that they hate or planning a special surprise.

Recognize Your Shortcomings

If you’re having trouble finding someone who meets your standards, it’s important to recognize your own shortcomings. We all have flaws and things that we’re not perfect at. By recognizing your own shortcomings, you can be more understanding and forgiving of someone else’s shortcomings.

Communicate Always

It’s no secret that communication is key to any lasting relationship. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been together for years, making an effort to communicate openly and honestly will help keep your relationship strong.

That means being willing to talk about both the good and the bad. It means being willing to listen to your partner and share your own thoughts and feelings. It means being willing to compromise and work together to solve problems.

Conclusion

If you want your relationship to last, it is important to keep your standards high. This means being honest with your partner, communicating effectively, and being willing to work on the relationship. Additionally, it is important to be supportive of your partner and to show them respect. By following these tips, you can ensure that your relationship will be strong and lasting.
