I think realistic expectations are key. You're not going to be in love allnthe time. That's an emotional high that yoy cant reproduce all the time, in the mean time, you can be patient, and understanding and empathetic. You cant feel it allnthe time, but you can work to care for your partner regardless. they wont feel it all the time, but you can be patient and keep showing them love. Being good to someone when they don't deserve it shows a lot more love then being all over them when you are feeling it. carve out time for selfcare. bith for yourself and your partner. When someone snaps, don't respond with, 'why are you such a bitch?' (spoken or thought) instead try, 'You sound stressed, go take a bath and get your nails done' or 'why don't you take the afternoon off and I'll handle things around here's If you do that when they don't deserve it, it's gonna go a long way. Invest in yourself as well, really strive to understand who you are, what you like, and why you do what you do. That can help with those times when your partner triggers a strong negative feeling but you don't quite know what or why. Of course you'd love it if they never did that again but if you don't understand the why, a different but similar action could have the same effect and resentment starts to build. To be honest though I wonder how much is luck? My wife and I have pretty open communication and have gotten to where we aren't easily offended by each other which makes undesirable behavior bearable and then the good times are a delight. Not all relationships have that.
