Relationships are always a work in progress. So many people work really hard a building a relationship and then once they feel comfortable with it they just stop altogether. If you stop paying attention to the relationship or stop trying to improve it on some level then your relationship will start to lose the closeness that it once had.

Here are 5 ways to enhance your relationship and make it stronger than ever before.

1. Research the Opposite Sex

If you don't understand why your woman is mad at you for telling her she looks alright in that dress than research they way women hear things and how they interpret them. And if you don't understand why your man stops talking when you ask him to share his feelings then research how men deal with their feelings about negative situations.

Men and women see the world through different eyes and the sooner we realize that the healthier our relationships will be. For instance, one sentence may be interpreted completely different by a man than a woman, and vice-versa. It's your job to really understand why that is and how you can say and do things to please your partner based on how they see the world.

2. Spend More Time Together.

The days are filled with work, kids, or school and the nights are filled with supper, TV, and bedtime. When is the time for your relationship?

Spending even an hour a day together talking, sharing, and being close is vital to a happy relationship and will instantly make your feel closer to your partner when you do it.

3. Share Your Common Interests.

Common interests are what bring us together in relationships and they make our relationships have strong ties that hold us together. You have to nourish those ties and make them an important part of the relationship. Not only does it make you feel connected on a deeper level but it's just fun to do things that you both love together. Your relationship will thank you!

4. Offer Each Other Support

Many people will make their partner feel like their decisions are wrong or foolish. This is because both people are different and have different dreams and beliefs about what is right or wrong in life. But the fact that you are different doesn't give you the right to make your partner feel bad when they want to attempt something you would never do in life.

So start being more supportive of each other and the ideas that each of you have. Support shows that you are on their side of life no matter what, and that you are behind them no matter where they choose to go. This will only make your relationship stronger and more fulfilling.

5. Keep Sex Alive and Interesting

If you are stuck in the same old boring bedroom routine, or if you have lost the routine all together, then you need to research new ways to get back that loving feeling. If your sex life has become a drag then it can become a huge issue in your relationship.

And don't get caught up in the thought that only the act of sex is important. Every other aspect of sexual relations is important in enhancing a relationship and keep you connected including touching, caressing, and even hugging!
