In a marriage, there are moments when tensions can run high and distance can grow. Many factors,

like stress, exhaustion and lack of interest can affect your relationship and life together. If you already find yourself in such a situation, or if you just want to give your relationship a breath of new life, try reigniting romance and opening up communication. If the trust in your relationship has eroded, work to rebuild it...

• Development– Development of interpersonal relationships can be further split into committed versus non-committed romantic relationships, which have different behavioral characteristics. In a study by Miguel & Buss (2011), 
• 
• Romantic Relationships,
• men and women were found to differ in a variety of mate-retention strategies depending on whether their romantic relationships were committed or not. More committed relationships by both genders were characterized by greater resource display, appearance enhancement, love and care, and verbal signs of possession.

Married couples for many years, psychologist John Gottman has proposed the theory of the " ratio" for successful Marriages.

The theory says that for a marriage to be successful, couples must average a ratio of five positive interactions 

Minding relationships

 

The mindfulness theory of relationships shows how closeness in relationships may be enhanced. Minding is

the "reciprocal knowing process involving the nonstop, interrelated thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of persons in a relationship."

Five components of "minding" include:

1.) Knowing and being known:

seeking to understand the partner

2.) Making relationship-enhancing attributions for behaviors: giving the benefit of the doubt

3.) Accepting and respecting:

empathy and social skills

4.) Maintaining reciprocity:

active participation in relationship enhancement

5.) Continuity in minding:

persisting in mindfulness

• In contrast, less committed relationships by both genders were characterized by greater jealousy induction. In terms of gender differences, men used greater resource display than women, who used more appearance enhancement as a mate-retention strategy than men.

Emotional understanding and effective communication between partners.

• Sustaining vs. terminating– After a relationship has had time to develop, it enters into a phase where it will be sustained if it is not otherwise terminated. Some important qualities of strong, enduring relationships include emotional understanding and effective communication between partners.
• 
•  Research has also shown that idealization of one's partner is linked to stronger interpersonal bonds. Idealization is the pattern of overestimating a romantic partner's positive virtues or underestimating a partner's negative faults in comparison to the partner's own self-evaluation. In general, individuals who idealize their romantic partners tend to report higher levels of relationship satisfaction.

• Other research has examined the impact of joint activity on relationship quality. In particular, studies have shown that romantic partners that engage in a novel and exciting physical activity together are more likely to report higher levels of relationship satisfaction than partners that complete a mundane activity

Make dates. Ask your husband out. Take him to dinner, or dinner and a movie, or dancing.

Make it clear that it's a date: nobody else is invited, even the kids.

The ways that you got together early in a relationship don't necessarily teach you how to maintain it.

• Kiss goodbye when one of you leaves the house, and kiss hello upon return.

Tell him what you appreciate about him. Expressing gratitude for your partner can powerfully strengthen your relationship. Think about everything you appreciate about him: his character, his actions, what he does for you. Find a calm moment and tell him exactly how you feel. Write it out first if that helps you organize your thoughts.

Make a practice of thanking him specifically for kind things he does for you.

Expand on the "thank you." Explain the lovely qualities he has that cause him to act kindly.

Spend quality time together. Take time to pay attention to one another every day. Spend at least an hour a week alone together, focused on one another. This could be a meal, a walk, or just a while sitting on the couch after your children have gone to bed.

Ban certain subjects during quality time. Whatever you normally talk about (work, the kids, health concerns, money concerns) should be banned for at least the first 20 minutes of your quality time.

An interpersonal relationship is a strong, deep, or close association or acquaintance between two or more people that may range in duration from brief to enduring. This association may be based on inference, love, solidarity, regular business interactions, or some other type of social commitment. Interpersonal relationships are formed in the context of social, cultural and other influences. The context can vary from family or kinship relations, friendship, marriage, relations with associates, work, clubs, neighborhoods, and places of worship. They may be regulated by law, custom, or mutual agreement, and are the basis of social groups and society as a whole.

. Another important factor in the initiation of new relationships is similarity. Put simply, individuals tend to be attracted to and start new relationships with those who are similar to them. These similarities can include beliefs, rules, interests, culture, education, etc. Individuals seek relationships with like others because like others are most likely to validate shared beliefs and perspectives, thus facilitating interactions that are positive, rewarding and without conflict.

While traditional psychologists specializing in close relationships have focused on relationship dysfunction, positive psychology argues that relationship health is not merely the absence of relationship dysfunction. Healthy relationships are built on a foundation of secure attachment and are maintained with love and purposeful positive relationship behaviors. Additionally, healthy relationships can be made to "flourish."

Positive psychologists are exploring what makes existing relationships flourish and what skills can be taught to partners to enhance their existing and future personal relationships. A social skills approach posits that individuals differ in their degree of communication skill, which has implications for their relationships. Relationships in which partners possess and enact relevant communication skills are more satisfying and stable than relationships in which partners lack appropriate communication skills

How do I get back together with a cheating spouse?

Building Trust...

Limit criticism and advice. Sometimes you see things that your partner doesn't see, and sometimes your partner does something inconsiderate or ham handed. Try to limit your criticism to one instance a day. Before you offer criticism, think "is this worth biting my tongue later?"

• When your partner complains, listen. Rather than give advice, offer sympathy. You can give advice if it's asked for, or suggest a new perspective if he is thinking himself into a rut, but you might do the most good just by attentively listening.

Tell him what you appreciate about him. Expressing gratitude for your partner can powerfully strengthen your relationship. Think about everything you appreciate about him: his character, his actions, what he does for you. Find a calm moment and tell him exactly how you feel. Write it out first if that helps you organize your thoughts.

• Make a practice of thanking him specifically for kind things he does for you.
• Expand on the "thank you." Explain the lovely qualities he has that cause him to act kindly.[4]
• Instead of just saying "thanks for making me dinner. I loved it!" Say "Thank you for making me dinner. I see that instead of getting mad at me for being grouchy, you recognized that I was tired and hungry. You are a good cook, but you're also a truly thoughtful person."
• Compliment him as well. The flirt will return to your relationship

Go places together that you haven't gone before. 

Take a vacation to a place where you both had a lovely time together.
