1. LEARN FROM OTHERS
Everyone’s Top 10 Dating and Relationship Challenges You Can Overcome , but that doesn’t mean we can’t all learn from the most successful relationships. There’s a surprising amount of research that tells us what successful couples do well. For example, most happy couples maintain friendships outside their relationship, and try new things often (and, unsurprisingly, they have more sex). Check out some of the research to see more, or if you prefer, this infographic has a breakdown of the most important stuff.
2. MEND A BROKEN HEART
If, in the end, your relationship just wasn’t meant to be, you’ve probably got a little healing to do. Breakups suck, and there are a lot of scientific reasons for that . You’re hard-wired to fear rejection, and the more relationships you have fail, the tougher it gets. ASAPScience says the best way to get over a breakup: surround yourself with friends and family . Time heals all wounds, but if you can keep yourself from wallowing alone, you’ll make that healing much easier. And if your breakup is a bit more serious (like divorce), we’ve got advice for that too .

3. KNOW WHEN YOU’RE DOOMED
It’s not exactly something we like to think about, but you may also have to think about the other side of the coin—that your relationship might be headed for the end. This is actually predictable if you know what to look out for. Dr. John Gottman says there are four communcation qualities that can almost always predict when a couple will break up: criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling. If you deal with conflict using any or all of these...you either need to change that, or recognize that things likely won’t work out.

4. PREPARE FOR MARRIAGE
If you plan on getting married, there are some things you’ll want to keep in mind first. Some things are practical: for example, you’re not just marrying your partner, you’re marrying into their family. If you can’t stand them...be ready to deal with that forever. Other things are more philosophical, but can still stress you out. It’s normal to wake up some days and think “Holy shit, I’m married forever and ever?” Remember: you may be married, but your relationship and lives are still a work in progress. Oh, and while you’re thinking about all these things, you may have to mentally prepare yourself for parenthood too
