The best love advice according to our readers!

Love advice… Sometimes you get it from your parents or grandparents, and it stays with you for the rest of your life. A golden tip that you can apply to any relationship. We asked you to share the best love advice and then compiled it. We hope you find it useful!

Communicate

It’s not rocket science; everyone knows that proper communication is the key to a good relationship. And the advice we received from our readers proved it! The best part is: you can learn to communicate! Are you in a relationship and is communication not your strong suit? There’s nothing wrong with that. You can work on it together. So, don’t worry if you still have a lot of room to grow when it comes to communication.

“Good communication is the key to a good relationship. And the advice we received from our readers proves it!”

Your advice

• To maintain a long-term relationship: keep working on it. It’s not always easy peasy!
• Communication, trust, honesty, loyalty
• Just be honest with each other, whether you like it or not
• Let each other know if something’s wrong, don’t act as if everything’s okay
• Remain open and honest
• Talk, talk, talk
• Be open with each other! That’s the key to a good relationship
• Open communication and keeping the sex exciting

Keep it sexy

Intimacy in a relationship is very important. For some, it’s even the most important part! Intimacy is about a deep connection with each other, it’s about cuddling and sex. And, as everyone knows, sex with the same partner can get a bit boring. Make sure to keep things hot! For example, by experimenting with toys, trying different positions, exciting dates, or maybe even extra people in your relationship.

Your advice

• Have loads of sex
• Discover sex together to find out more
• Make sure the sex is diverse and exciting

Be yourself

Most of the advice we received was about staying true to yourself. And that’s always good advice… In love, it’s important to always be yourself, not to forget yourself and not to change for your partner (well, if you always leave your dirty socks on the floor and smoke 30 cigarettes a day, you can change that if your partner asks you to). But don’t change your standards, values, sense of humour, or personality. Your partner should accept you as you are.

“Never change your standards, values, sense of humour, and personality for a partner.”

After all, you want someone to fall in love with you for who you are, not for some fake, rehearsed persona. By being yourself, you attract the right partner and make sure they really know you and what you have to offer them. It’s the ideal basis for building and maintaining a good relationship.

Your advice

• Just be yourself
• Be yourself, and everything will be fine
• Love yourself first before you love someone else
• Don’t choose your partner over yourself
• Follow your heart, but don’t forget your head

Work on it

Anyone who is in a successful, long-term relationship will agree: a relationship is hard work. Of course it’s not all the time, but every once in a while. You’ll experience setbacks and endure difficult times. But the great thing is: you’re doing it together! As one of our readers so beautifully said, “It’s not you and your lover against each other, but the both of you against the problem!” Amen!

“You’ll experience setbacks and endure difficult times. But the great thing is: you’re doing it together!”

Your advice

• Create joyful moments and memories, such as weekends away and date nights
• Work hard together on the relationship and quality time, that’s very important
• Stay yourself and give each other compliments
• It’s not you and your lover against each other, but the both of you against the problem!
• Just do it
• Keep it sexy and talk about your feelings and needs
• If you search for love, you won’t find it
