How to Maintain a Successful Relationship

Having a rocky relationship? Read along. Already have a successful relationship? Read along. Let's face it, we all know there is always room for improvement.
First thing's first: Without honesty, there's no trust. These are two very important ingredients. Always keep things clean, ladies and gentlemen, no matter what it takes.
To expand on honesty a bit more, say what you have to say, whether it's hurtful or not. For example, if you need to break up, do not be scared and hold back. Talk to your partner and give him/her fair, civilized reasons. It is a lot worse to keep a person attached to you when you know nothing is ever going to happen with you two. Do not waste anyone's time.
If you are together and things are looking great, there's nothing to fear, but this does not mean you should let your guard down. Always take good initiative; vary your habits. Take your partner out to places he/she only dreams of, surprise her with a nice present from time to time. No one said gifts are only meant for birthdays and holidays.
Treat your partner like there's no tomorrow. Feel free to pamper him/her and take some breakfast to bed. Your loved one will be absolutely amazed knowing you woke up with the relationship in mind.
Give each other some space. It is okay if someone likes to be around most of the time, but ask yourself, how does he/she feel about it? Do the homework and find out one's level of comfort, this way you can never interrupt when some alone-time is needed.
Many people hate when their partner asks "too many questions". Where are you going? When will you be back? Before yelling at each other, please consider he/she is only doing the math in order to know if you might be in trouble out there. Questions do not always equal jealousy.
You know what could happen if you forget an important event in your lives. Show your partner you really cherish those wonderful moments in the past. The way you let him/her know is entirely up to you, just make sure you two make things memorable.
