We were all sat around at The Really Amazing HQ in Llangollen a few weeks ago talking about how my partner and I of nearly 12 years have finally set a date for our wedding. We moved on to discussing how we had been together a long time now and it got me thinking around what is it about relationships that make them last a long time?

As relationships form such an important part of all our lives, whether it's our relationship with ourselves, with lovers, friends or colleagues it seems obvious that we would all know what makes them successful. After all, it would be very difficult to go about our lives and not connect with anyone ever so we must all be experts by now right? So how come relationships break down so often? How do we improve our relationships? What is the secret to a successful relationship?

The Secret

We started talking about what makes some relationships more successful than others and decided that we needed to learn from those in successful relationships. I went out and started asking people who have been in a long term relationship like myself, I wanted to know their secrets to a successful relationship. We got a good response and a lot of useful tips. We also started to spot a pattern in our responses.

Three common themes kept appearing in the answers that people were giving. This has been turned into our formula for an amazing relationship:

The Really Amazing Relationship Formula:

1. Good quality communication

2. Knowing what you both want

3. Trust

Great! We know what makes a successful relationship......Now what?

We all know that great relationships take work. Now that we have the formula for success how can we use this to improve our relationships?
