10 RELATIONSHIP SECRETS YOU MUST KNOW.
A healthy relationship exist when two people develop a connection based on trust, honest, mutual respect and a sense of playfulness.
1.When looking for lasting love, forget what looks right, forget what you think should be right and forget what your friends, parents or other people think is right and ask yourself: Does the relationship feels right for me?
2.Be sensitive to what your partners like. Only go for spiritual counselling if both of you have a similar convictions of faults and have a good relationship with your counselor.
3.Do not based your relationships exclusively on sex. A meaningful and fulfilling relationship depends on more than just good sex.
4.Let romantic relationship be your watchword. Commit to spending quality time together as a partner on a regular basis.
5.Have a relationship with yourself first.If you lack self worth, dignity and value for yourself, you can never be loved.
6.Note this carefully. If your love does such thing as: promises to call you but does not make dates and breaks them, show up late or plays games with your emotions, be watchful, something may be amiss. Make corrections.
7.A fundamental understanding and respect of the male ego is a must for all women who want a vibrant and healthy relationships. Men have their worth and importance and want women to know and recognize this.
8.Whatever problems arises in a relationship, it is important to face them together as a couple.
9.If an aspect of the relationship stops working, do not simply ignore it but address it with your partner. Things change, so respond to them together as they come.
10.Create time out of your schedule to pray together.

Your Attention
I am so guilty of this. My wife says something and my body language acknowledges it, but it doesn’t sink in. Shame on me. Instead of burying myself in thought, the paper, or even the Bible, I need to look my wife straight in the eyes and give her my full attention. She might not want me to solve whatever she is talking about, but she does want me to listen. It is so disrespectful when someone says something to you and you don’t even acknowledge what they said by words or by nodding your head. Men, are you really listening to your wife? Could you repeat the last sentence she said? Drop whatever it is you had going on, including the remote if necessary, and stop, look, and listen. She deserves your attention, don’t you think?
Your Faithfulness
Surely, we husbands need to remain faithful to our wives. That is clearly commanded in Scripture. By remaining faithful to her, I mean not only avoiding adultery and pornography but avoiding commenting about other husband’s wives or looking at other women with lust. Men can so easily commit adultery of the heart. It’s like we’re hardwired that way, but we are supposed to be new creations in Christ, as Paul wrote, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Cor. 5:17). When we are born again, we are given a new nature, as Ezekiel wrote, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you” (Ezek. 36:26a), and as such, we were “buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life

Conclusion
Obviously, there are a lot more than three things a wife needs that are not listed here, but surely we recognize that we need to love our wives as Christ loved the church. That means a life-sacrificing life of serving her. We need to give her our full attention when she is talking, and we need to be ever faithful to our bride, for she is a gift of God. We should treat her as such.
