How to make an international relationship remain sparky forever

If you’ve been in a long-term relationship for a long time, you might feel that your love life isn’t very exciting. Therefore, I’ve decided to share with you some practical techniques that you can implement in your love life and I’m sure that your international relationship will become sparky again.

Have more quality time with your partner.

As a couple, you and your lady should spend more quality time together to enjoy life and smell the roses because remaining connected with her is important.

Spending sufficient time together helps you make your love life satisfying and healthy, so why not figure out which activities you can do with her frequently and make plans in advance?

Remember: shared experiences make the connection between you and your lady stronger. As I see it, emotional connection is the cornerstone of a long-lasting international relationship!

Here are some ideas for you to consider:

Have a date night every week;
Learn salsa dance together;
Attend a foreign language class together;
Read one chapter of a book every night and discuss what you’ve read together;
Go overseas with her for a holiday once a year;
Go to a concert together at least once a season.

You still need to maintain your individuality.

Although you are in a relationship, you still need to have some time apart because everyone needs some space for themselves.

If you spend 24/7 with her forever, that can become boring and dull because you might begin to lose yourself. In my opinion, a successful and sustainable international relationship needs both you and your lady to remain independent.

It’s time to find a balance.

Have you ever considered sharing your Google Calendar with your partner? That’s actually a very effective way to manage your time in a relationship. For example, American author and creative entrepreneur Kate Northrup and her husband Mike Watts share their Google Calendars with each other so that both of them know what’s happening every day. This is a great way to save time and make everything more efficient.

You can even use different colors on your Google Calendar to make things easy as different activities can belong to different categories (different colors represent different categories). You can also add emojis to each activity to make it fun!

When you and your partner have a shared digital calendar, it’s so much easier to strike a balance, i.e., you know which night is your date night; you know when you’ll travel together; you know when you and your partner will spend some time apart in order to prioritize independence at times.

Note that spending quality time together and spending some time apart aren’t two mutually exclusive concepts. In fact, they definitely complement each other in beautiful ways because these two concepts help you understand how to maintain a happy international relationship in the long term.
