When you fall in love, it can feel like your whole life is in harmony. You feel wholly attached to the other individual and you wish to spend every moment with her or him.

You haven't yet observed the other individual's flaws and it's as if the sun rises and sets with this new love in your life. Regrettably, this phase does not last. The newness finally wears off as truth sets in. The better news is that with the right attitude and mindset, you can keep the charm in your relationship.

1. Decide that you are going to have a healthy relationship

Anything that you ever do will start with a thought. Visualize your partner and yourself in a  healthy and happy relationship.

2. Handle conflict in a loving way

Every couple has conflicts. The way you treat them will help determine the prosperity of your relationship. Do not insist on being right. Or else, concentrate on understanding your partner's view and be a good listener.

3. Be accountable for your own happiness

Remember that it is not your partner's job to keep you happy. In the initial stages of your relationship, your partner might feel blandished to know that you depend on her or him for fulfillment, but after sometime, they will feel suffocated and drained. Be your own source of happiness and that will make your relationship much better.

4. Don't be consumed by jealousy

This can do a serious harm to your relationship. Jealousy is like salt, which in small quantity can add favor to a relationship but in excess quantity is unhealthy.

5. Do not take your partner for granted

Concentrate on your partner's positive things and remember that no one is perfect. Remind yourself why you fell in love with this individual.
