In this self-centered world, it’s hard to keep a romantic relationship going strong. Break-ups happen often for no reason at all, or a reason that could have been overcome if only there was a will to do so. Sometimes, it’s the small things that keeps a couple together for a long time. Here are 10 little things that matter in every relationship.在這個(gè)以自我為中心的時(shí)代，要想很好的維持一段戀情真不是那么簡(jiǎn)單的事情。分手有時(shí)根本不需要理由，就算有，也只不過(guò)是信手拈來(lái)的罷了。其實(shí)很多時(shí)候是一些小事得以將關(guān)系一直維持下去。下面是十件能促進(jìn)關(guān)系發(fā)展的事情。

Say it!說(shuō)出來(lái)！

We mean the “I love you” sentence. If you feel it, say it. Take your significant other by the hands, look them deep into their eyes, and say it. A smile is sure to appear on their face. Three little words that can light up both your days and remind them of how much they are loved.我指的是“我愛(ài)你”這句話。如果感受到了，那就說(shuō)出來(lái)，牽著對(duì)方的手，看著他的眼睛說(shuō)出來(lái)吧。他們一定會(huì)露出笑容。這樣簡(jiǎn)單的三個(gè)字能讓一整天都晴朗起來(lái)，告訴對(duì)方你到底有多愛(ài)TA吧。

Watch a romantic movie看一場(chǎng)浪漫的電影

Simple but effective. There are plenty of romantic movies out there to see, but personally, I’d suggest you skip Hollywood movies and focus on European ones. Why? They are not Cinderella like, they have real-life situations and they can be pretty interesting.簡(jiǎn)單有效的辦法。愛(ài)情浪漫片真的是太多了，但個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)，我建議你跳過(guò)好萊塢電影去欣賞一下歐洲電影吧。為什么呢？他們不是灰姑娘似的故事結(jié)構(gòu)，有真實(shí)的生活作為背景，也會(huì)非常有趣。

Be silly together倆人一起犯二

Letting your inhibitions go and being childlike is something that can easily be forgotten when you’re an adult and especially when you’re a couple. Being silly together shows that you are comfortable with each other, that you have embraced one another and could be a great reminder why you fell for each other in the first place. A couple who can laugh and play together is a happy one.把那些拘謹(jǐn)都藏起來(lái)像孩子般去相處吧，忘記自己是個(gè)大人。倆人一起犯二說(shuō)明互相在一起非常舒服，你非常喜歡TA，也可以提醒對(duì)方當(dāng)初因?yàn)槭裁炊鄲?ài)。能在一起大笑玩耍的才是好情侶呢。

Say thank you 說(shuō)謝謝

It’s not hard to say thank you.說(shuō)謝謝不是難事。

But we don’t mean the default “thank you” such as when someone brings you a cup of coffee. We mean a “thank you” for the things that really matter. When they hold your hand through a crisis, when they lift you up when you fall, when they stay by your side when you’re ill. In those situations gratitude is rarely expressed with words, but can go a long way to make the other person feel special and cared for.我們這里說(shuō)的可不是那種別人幫你帶一杯咖啡的官方“謝謝”，而是對(duì)真正重要的事情的一句“感謝”。他們陪你度過(guò)一次危機(jī)，或者在你摔倒的時(shí)候扶你一把，又或者是生病時(shí)對(duì)你悉心照顧。這些情況下真的很難用言語(yǔ)去表達(dá)感激，但你需要讓對(duì)方知道他們的特殊性感受到你對(duì)他們的關(guān)心。

Compliments贊美

Compliments are wonderful. It’s an instant lift when someone acknowledges you in a positive light, especially when it’s coming from someone you love. It shows that you’re noticed, appreciated and admired. Complimenting your partner on their looks, their personality, their positive spirit or whatever else you admire or love about them is something you can’t do too much of. It’s a small gesture that can make a huge, positive impact on your relationship.贊美真的不可或缺。當(dāng)有人持續(xù)給你積極的贊賞，特別是愛(ài)人的贊美，真是一種激勵(lì)。這表示你是被關(guān)注，欣賞和膜拜的?？淇鋵?duì)方的打扮，性格，他們積極的精神或者無(wú)論什么能吸引到你讓你喜歡或者崇拜自己卻做不到的地方。這種小舉動(dòng)能夠大大促進(jìn)你們的關(guān)系哦。

Do what the significant other enjoy陪TA做TA喜歡做的事情

If he likes to watch sports, watch with him and cheer on his favorite team. Listen and take interest in what your partner likes to do, even if it’s not your personal favorite. In turn, when you want to do an activity that you enjoy, they’ll be open and willing to do it with you as well. Going outside of your comfort zone and sitting through an opera or ballet for the simple fact that she enjoys it, speaks volumes to your significant other. It’s a small gesture that shows you want to be with them and that you go out of your way to see them happy in their element.如果他喜歡看球賽，那么就陪他一起看，為他支持的隊(duì)伍加油。聽(tīng)聽(tīng)TA喜歡什么，自己也去培養(yǎng)興趣吧，即使你不是很喜歡。同樣，當(dāng)你想做自己喜歡的事情時(shí)，他們也會(huì)陪著你哦。去舒服的地方，坐著看看歌劇或芭蕾，只要她喜歡就夠了，同時(shí)也別忘記展現(xiàn)出你對(duì)事物的自信哦。這種小舉動(dòng)能顯示出你樂(lè)于跟他們?cè)谝黄穑苍敢庥盟麄兊姆绞絹?lái)哄他們開(kāi)心。

Travel together一起旅游

Did you know that some couples don’t travel together before their honeymoon? It may come as a big surprise to realize that you’re not comfortable traveling with each other after years and years of relationship, and that’s normal, but there’s a cure.你知道有些人蜜月才是他們的第一次旅行么？所以要過(guò)好多年才知道原來(lái)你們不適合一起旅行哦。這很正常，也可以去矯正。

Start now. When you find yourself far away from the place you live in, you have only each other to rely on, you will spend more time together- just the two of you, and you will create memories. If you can’t afford a big vacation, try doing a ‘staycation’ and explore cities and sights around you that are nearby. Whether or not it turns out to be a great vacation, it will give you both a shared experience and something to talk about that will bring you closer.現(xiàn)在就開(kāi)始吧。找一個(gè)較遠(yuǎn)的目的地，你們只能互相依靠對(duì)方，你們要花大量的時(shí)間泡在一起-只有你們兩個(gè)人，然后就創(chuàng)造美好回憶啦。如果請(qǐng)不了長(zhǎng)假，試著來(lái)個(gè)城市旅行，遍訪周遭的城市風(fēng)景。無(wú)論旅行是否開(kāi)心，都會(huì)讓你們?nèi)蘸笥欣M(jìn)關(guān)系的共同經(jīng)歷和體驗(yàn)哦。

A little present goes a long way小禮物大用途

It doesn’t have to be expensive or elaborate, in fact, it can be the simple act of getting them their favorite ice cream on the way home because you know they had a long, hard day at work. It’s not the present but the gesture and the thought that went into it that will be appreciated more so than the actual ‘thing’ you got them. Have they been talking about getting a certain book or waiting to see a certain movie? Buy that book when it comes out or make a date for the day the movie opens, not only will they be happy but they’ll know that you listen to them and you care.不需要多貴重多精致，實(shí)際上，可以僅僅是在回家路上帶一只他們喜歡的冰激凌來(lái)解除一天的工作疲乏。這不是禮物，但這個(gè)舉動(dòng)和想法本身就能比實(shí)際去準(zhǔn)備禮物帶來(lái)的感動(dòng)更多呢。他們最近說(shuō)了要買什么書(shū)或是等著去看什么電影么？等書(shū)上市的時(shí)候去買一本吧，或者在電影上映那天安排一個(gè)約會(huì)呀，他們不僅會(huì)喜出望外還會(huì)明白你的關(guān)心無(wú)處不在。

Cuddle依偎

Cuddling is the best way to show that you love someone. Cuddling has this wonderful ability to soothe away the pain and calm you down. It works both ways. Not only will your partner feel relaxed, but you will shake off some of that everyday stress. And when it’s cold, you could keep each other warm.依偎是表達(dá)愛(ài)意的最好辦法。能有效緩解難過(guò)讓你迅速安靜下來(lái)。對(duì)兩人都有好處哦，不僅僅他會(huì)覺(jué)得放松，你也會(huì)甩掉一天的包袱。天冷的時(shí)候你們還可以互相取暖呢，不是么。

Take their side in an argument站在TA那邊

This is more important than you think. You should always back your partner up when they are having a brawl, even if you think that they are not in the right. You must never leave them standing on their own in an argument. At the very least, you should try and bring the argument to an end. That way they will know that you have their back, that they can rely on you and that you love them. This is a little thing that makes a BIG difference.這比你怎么想更加重要。當(dāng)他們有了爭(zhēng)吵的時(shí)候，要力挺一下哦，哪怕TA不一定是對(duì)的。你必須要讓兩個(gè)人保持在統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線上?；蛘咧辽?，你可以試著去停止這類爭(zhēng)吵。他們也會(huì)知道你是支持他們的，他們可以依靠你，你是愛(ài)他們的。這種小事真的能起到很大的作用哦。
