If you've found the man of your dreams and are wondering what you need to do to build a relationship with him, realize that it takes time and effort from both of you to build a healthy, successful relationship. Chemistry and attraction are essential to a relationship, but you both have to want the same things to make it work. Here are a few steps you can take to build or enhance your relationship.
- Make time for him. Even if you both have busy lives, make time for each other. Schedule it on your calendar weekly if that is what you must do, but make sure you spend quality time with him regularly. Oftentimes as a relationship progresses, it is easy to forget this step because work, children or other commitments get in the way.
- Give him time to himself. It is healthy for couples to spend time apart. He should have friends he can hang out with and hobbies he enjoys, as should you. Spending time apart regularly is as important to a relationship as spending time together, although the time apart does not need to occur as frequently.
- Be honest with him. Men value openness and honesty. Being honest from the start is the best way to build a successful relationship, because a relationship built on lies will not survive. Let him know you expect honesty from him as well.
- Speak your mind. Men want to know what you're thinking or feeling; they don't want to have to guess. If you have a concern or are unhappy about something, tell him so the two of you can work through it. If you need something, don't be afraid to ask him for it. Men are not mind readers, so don't expect him to just know you need something.
- Compliment him. Men want to know they're important and valued just as much as women. Compliment your man on a regular basis, even after the initial dating phase has passed. It will make your man feel appreciated and loved. Don't forget to dole out random compliments too. Complimenting something he has done is great, but compliments are even better when given out for no specific reason.
- Do not cheat on your man. Men value fidelity as much as women do. If you feel the need to cheat on your boyfriend or husband, your relationship is not healthy and will most likely not last. Even if your relationship is experiencing a few bumps, remain faithful and work through your issues together rather than cheating.
