Keep Your Relationship Positive With These 9 Tips (5 of 8)

5. Don’t Forget Those Manners

Once your relationship is humming along, there is a tendency to become complacent and even forget your manners. You might simply take it for granted when he brings you breakfast in bed or does some spontaneous house cleaning. But you shouldn’t forget to say “thank you” and “please” as part of your everyday conversation. No matter how well you know each other, it is important to be courteous and treat each other with the same respect that you’d treat a stranger who did something nice. This is a simple gesture that helps maintain a happy, positive relationship.
