It’s no secret that relationships take work. A LOT of work. Like anything else you want to achieve in life, you’ll need to invest time, energy and other resources to keep your relationship alive and healthy. Whether it’s exploring a new place together as a couple, picking up a new hobby you both learn together, or something else entirely, being creative with the ways you show up and show love in your relationship will pay HUGE returns in the short term and long run.
