Decide whether you want to have more sex than usual and get a chance to talk about what you hope to achieve as a couple in terms of your relationship”
Minimise arguments
Arguments in a relationship are always there. Try to find a way to avoid them. Apologies when you are wrong and don’t start fights over small things. Rather laugh more than fighting more. That will make your partner to miss you even more. Call him/her every day, just to check up on him/her. Also remind them that you love them.
Learn to complement each other
