To begin with, Romantic relationships are all about persons loving themselves and being ready to sacrifice for one another, in care, love and togetherness.

What are the basic things one must put in place to have a better relationship? Let's look at them in details
A Bedrock of Love
Love is by far one of the most powerful emotions, and the need to be in a loving relationship may be one of the strongest needs we have.
Being in an intimate relationship connects us not only to our partner, but also to the rest of the world. When our hearts are filled with love, we feel profoundly content and satisfied with whatever it is we have or do. We become more patient, more empathetic, kinder and even gentler.
Anyway, personal intimacy has an impact on more than just our emotional well-being. Numerous scientific studies have found that the power of love has a direct impact on our physical health, boosting our immune system, improving cardiovascular function, and increasing our life expectancy. "Love and intimacy are at the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well," says Dean Ornish, M.D., who explores the connections between love and health in his book Love & Survival (HarperCollins). "According to scientific evidence, the need for love and intimacy is as important and fundamental as eating, breathing, and sleeping together in love."
BE FRIENDS
It all start from being friends, Any healthy relationship must be based on a solid underlying friendship. Remember to treat your partner with the same kindness, respect, and appreciation as you would a close friend. Support, listen to, and laugh with each other. Don't be rude or disrespectful to yourself.
STAY CONNECTED

In addition, devote least 15 minutes of your day to meaningful, one-on-one conversation — no television or kids allowed. Time you see in a relationship is very important to any good relationship and bettering your relationship the more time you spend together the more bond that is build between you and your partner.

CELEBRATE EACH OTHER
Saying something kind and affectionate to your partner should be a regular habit. The expression of loving thoughts strengthens your relationship by reminding you both of what you value about each other.

FIGHT WELL
Since disagreements and arguments are inevitable, what's important is not whether you fight but how you fight. When disagreements surface, keep them short. "No more than 10 minutes," says Kaplan. "After ten minutes, it gets nasty and repetitive." Also, keep boundaries on the subject matter. Keep your dispute on track by not bringing up issues from the previous week or month.
TAKE A CLASS or STAY UNDER THE COUNSEL OF SOMEONE WHO HAS PROVEN RESULTS
Do you believe your relationship could benefit from professional guidance? Why not take a class on communications skills, attend a seminar on loving kindness, or read a book on relationship-building together?
