However, having this kind of relationship is not easy due to some of the mistakes that couples make. 

Here are some of the mistakes you are making that are killing your relationship slowly.

1. Not being affectionate

You can show affection to your partner in different ways such as holding hands, cuddling, giving them attention and being appreciative. If you find yourself or your partner no longer interested in these things, this might be a sign you are experiencing problems in your relationship. You could be killing your relationship unknowingly.

2. Being too secretive

When you are in a relationship with somebody, you should avoid keeping secrets from them. Most people in relationships keep secrets from their partners which ends up ruining the relationship because one of the parties will feel betrayed.

3. Making decisions alone

When you enter into a relationship with someone, it means you are a team and thus you should make decisions affecting the relationship together. Making decisions on your own will make your partner feel sidelined and unimportant.

4. Not treating your relationship as a priority

Many of us tend to be so busy that we forget all about our relationships. We sometimes prioritise our work at the expense of our relationships. Your partner needs to be treated as a priority for the relationship to be strong.
