5. Focus On Developing Emotional Intimacy

Physical intimacy is undoubtedly one of the most important aspects of any romantic relationship. But do you know that having an emotional intimacy is equally important for your relationship. When you have emotional intimacy in your relationship, you and your partner are able to understand each other's thoughts, feelings, opinions and emotions in a better way. You are able to support each other emotionally and mentally.

6. Communicate Your Love More Often

Being in a relationship and going on lunch and dinner dates aren't enough to say that you love your partner. Haven't you heard the famous saying, ‘actions speak louder than words'. If you truly love each other then you need to communicate your emotions as well. For example, you can say ‘I love you' more often, hold hands when walking together or leave sweet notes for your partner. It's more like doing all those sweet and adorable things that you used to do while you were in the initial phase of your relationship.

7. Avoid Fighting Over Little Things

Often major fights and conflicts in any relationship are resultant for numerous unnecessary small fights. So what's the point in fighting like kids over every little thing? Remember, you are in a relationship and not in a competition where you need to fight. Therefore, if you and your partner often find yourself fighting for every little thing, then this New Year you can take a relationship resolution to give your best to avoid any such happening.

8. Listen More Than You Speak

There's nothing wrong in expressing your thoughts, opinions and feelings to your partner. But what's wrong is not listening to what your partner says. When you are in a relationship, you need to understand that having an open and two-way conversation is quite essential. This is because then you are able to understand what's going on in your partner's mind and heart. At times, all that your partner would want is having someone who could listen to him/her. Instead of nodding blindly, you need to listen to what your partner wants to say.

9. Evolve Into A Supportive, Caring And Loving Partner

This New Year, take a resolution to evolve into a better and supportive partner. It is not that we mean to say you aren't supportive and caring at all. All we mean is that you need to be the one who supports his/her partner in every ups and downs. This is because when you extend your support to your partner, he/she feels loved and special. Care for your partner even during happy moments.

Taking relationship resolutions on New Year and working on the same can actually help you in strengthening your relationship. Doing these things will help you and your partner in working over your relationship and bringing back the lost spark.
