Relationships are not like how they seem in the movies: they require regular attention to keep both partners happy and on the same page. But it doesn\u2019t have to be hard. For years, Birkat Elyon<\/a> has been supplying happy couples with dazzling cubic zirconia jewelry<\/a>, and we\u2019ve learned a thing or two. Here\u2019s how to keep things humming along in your marriage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This doesn\u2019t mean being selfish \u2013 it just means that you might be expecting your partner to provide fulfillment that you could get on your own. Ensure that you have hobbies, interests, and things that strengthen your sense of self. You\u2019ll be less likely to have unrealistic expectations around your partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AVOID SOCIAL MEDIA COMPARISONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For better or worse, social media has become the town square where we share literally everything, from food to a fab vacation. Seeing seemingly \u201cperfect\u201d couples with their cute selfies sets up unhealthy comparisons and can make you question your own relationship. Don\u2019t fall into that trap. (Unless of course you want to share a pic of you flashing some gorgeous cubic zirconia jewelry<\/a>\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLAY THE CHECK-IN GAME<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a fun relationship-strengthener and helps you avoid missed signals. Grab a deck of cards and set a timer for ten minutes. High card goes first. Now, share what was both great and awful about your day \u2013 then let your partner do the same. You\u2019ll both have a context for any negative emotional states that might crop up later and won\u2019t read things that aren\u2019t there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BALANCE THE NEGATIVES WITH POSITIVES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s so easy to just focus on things that bug you. But a good rule of thumb is, for every negative thing you say to your partner, mention five positive things (not all at once). It\u2019s a good habit to get into. You can also show your appreciation with the occasional gift of a lovely piece of affordable, dazzling CZ jewelry<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
