How to keep a Relationship going strong against all odds.
72Advice on How to save your marriage and keep your relationship strong
In any relationship it takes work and effort. Friendships, Marriages, Dating or just casual get-togethers can go in many directions and can build and grow depending on how much time, effort and willingness on both parties to make it worthwhile.
To me a great relationship is one that is interesting, good conversation, common interests and plenty of room for trying new things and being spontaneous. No body likes to get into a rut. Doing things the way you have always done them will lead to the same old results.
When two people first meet, either as friends, acquaintances, or lovers its always fresh, new, exciting and something to look forward to, simply because its not predictable and each person is learning about the other person.

- Cook together - pick a recipe that is new and get the ingredients and prepare it together and then eat it in the middle of the dining room floor (bare-feet required)
- Have Story-Time before bed - read a book, each one taking turns.Or if you have a crazy imagination make up a story to tell.
- Write each other a poem or love letter and stick it in their purse or travel bag when they are not looking.
- Go to an adult toy store together and act like you don't know each other.
- Go to a book store like Barnes and Nobles, give each other a project, one of you has to find a book on a particular topic and the other one has to find a book on the same topic and compare notes ( did you pick the same book?)
- Pretend like you are two kids that have not grown up and throw all the grown up stuff out the window for one day and see what happens!

Things to do for Other exciting ideas to repair your marriage
Role play, now this is something that can really bring out a side of your partner that you never knew about. Call them at home or work and tell them to meet you somewhere like a bar, hotel, park, movie theatre, coffee house, parking lot, grocery store, gas station, bowling alley, you get the idea.
Next when they arrive at the location have some one other than yourself deliver them a note.... in the note have specific instructions about what character you want them to portray when they meet ( basically they need to be someone or something other than what they have been so far) for example if they are a passive type personality, tell them to be aggressive and vice versa.
Now that both of you have assumed your alter ego roles, go somewhere and play it out. Say if you decide to have your mate meet you at a public place, one of you shows up first then the other arrives later approaching as if a stranger and see how interesting it gets when the dialogue is changed.

I like that arrangement!
Very good hub, and advice. Good conversation, common interests and, room for trying new things, and spontaneity is very important. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wonderful ideas...great hub. Methinks also that lasting or endring relationships are a cumulative effect of what you invest in them..qualitative investment. 1.Give your best and you get the best 2. Don't give what you can't take...don't take what you can't give.3. Give it your best shot, you'll both be glad you did, no matter which way it turns out! Thanks RA great job, I really loved the hub...got carried away.
Love the advice...Relationships definitely have to be worked on and some more than others!
Soyelude, I agree with you, its a give and take between two people.
Couldn't agree with you more on this subject.Great hub.Thumbs up!
Thanks, Abhinaya!
Good advice! This caught my attention:
"Pretend like you are to kids that have not grown up and throw all the grown up stuff out the window for one day and see what happens!"
When we are not uptight and are joyful, we do become like children, silly, playful, and its good for a relationship!
Violetsun, I agree sometimes as adults we get to serious and forget to have fun. It seems that children get amusement out of the simpliest of things!
You know what vrajavala, I have always thought compatibility was important too! Why is it then that people say opposites attract?
A very interesting hub!
I was raised hard shell Baptist with a touch of Pentecostal, she was Jewish.I am a half breed American Indian-German, and she is still Jewish.I am Virgo Dragon, she is Gemini Snake.According to Astrology, both East and West, we shouldn't be in the same time zone at the same time.
But my bride and I have been married for 49years. Going together for 51. It has been one Helluva Ride!
I still remember my German mother screaming at me, "You are not going to married that Chirst killer are you?" If we divorced tomorrow, my mother's side of the family would say, "See, I told you that it would not last."
The only thing my father said,"Damn boy, I just hoped that you'd get a white one, but a JEW. You must have something that I haven't seen!"
So maybe opposites DO attract. What'da think?
Bohica, it sounds like your right, it happens when we least expect it.
Thanks for the ideas! This might be the shot in the arm I need for my current "dud phase".
Sure CM I am glad, I no that duds are no fun.
Good advice and some excellent ideas to build strength into a relationship. Very nice Hub:)
I am glad you found the information useful.
great hub , very well explained !
