Social media has become a large part of our lives and it's important that every couple set some rules that suits them for the kind of relationship they have. Setting some ground rules about how both parties want to handle other people trying to chat on the Internet or how much we are on our phones and laptops while spending time with our significant other is crucial.

Honesty

Space

Space on an individual basis plays a huge role in maintaining a healthy relationship. While many of us may love being around our significant other and spending time with them, it's also important to respect each others boundaries and place value on space also.

The longer you take to reply to your partner may make them feel insecure. Giving a quick reply even when busy can go a long way to helping each other feel significant in one another's lives. And while we all may do things that we dislike for our partner's happiness, it's ok to say no to something that makes you feel uncomfortable. Learn how to also refuse anything that causes personal discomfort.

It takes time 

No matter what generation you belong to, every relationship requires basic factors. Love, trust, understanding and friendship are all key values to maintain a healthy relationship. Promise to try your best to be each others friend, and give the relationship time it needs to build trust, love and understanding.
