If you've ever been in a relationship that's lasted more than a year, you'll probably know the feeling of emerging from 'the honeymoon period'.
It's the time when you're both starting to become a little less tolerant of each other's petty annoyances, when pointless arguments seem to kick off a bit more easily, and when people quite often decide to call it quits.
But what if you don't want to split up? I thought it might be useful to have a thread of tips from people who have stuck at it, where we can all share things that made our relationships stronger.
Here's one: talking. Actually talking to each other, rather than just trying to impress each other the whole time. I found it made a massive difference to my own relationship when we started to be genuinely open with each other, and it's something that doesn't happen in the honeymoon phase as you're both too eager to show the other person how perfect you are.
How about you?
