2. Prioritize your relationship: The best couples are those that make time for each other even in the busiest seasons of their lives. If you’re constantly pushing quality time with your significant other or spouse to the bottom of your priorities list, it’s time to take a good hard look at how much you’re contributing to this relationship’s success. With work, kids and other time commitments, making time isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary in order to make sure your relationship is still healthy and strong years after you first fall in love.
