The 3 A's of a Healthy Relationship with Your Partner
Overtime for whatever reason many couples either call it quits or wind up staying in an unhappy relationship. However there are a number of couples who manage to beat the odds
Have you ever met a married couple that was so lovey dovey that it just about made you sick to your stomach? You wouldn't mind so much if they were newlyweds, but for crying out loud these two have been together for years. Yet every time you go out with them, they are in full mushy mode. They openly vow endless love
The cynic in you says this is nothing more than an act they put on to fool the public at large but you know in your heart that is not true. You have seen these two in action when they didn't think anybody was looking (no not like that!)

Marriage is a chore if you convince yourself it's a chore. Do you look at every bump in the relationship road as a crushing obstacle or a challenge to overcome which brings the two of you closer together? It's all in the way you perceive it.

Hopefully, your significant will notice what's going on
2. Attention
Your spouse has been exercising or upgrading their appearance to please you. Are you taking notice? What about your communication
3. Appreciation

The goal in any relationship is to be selfless enough so you both are a team that just keeps getting better
