These 3 things ensure that you continue to find your partner attractive

It is something that many relationships struggle with, unfortunately: the attraction that diminishes. Often people say that this ‘just happens’ and that there is very little you can do about it, because by that time it is often true. But if you keep these 3 points in mind from the start (and act on them), psychologists say the chance is much smaller that your relationship will run aground due to reduced attraction.

1. Pay attention to the amount of attraction from the beginning
In the beginning, you are of course still very much in love and that can be blinding; you may not even realize whether that attraction is really sufficient (and you might be more in love with the image of the relationship). According to sex therapists, it is extremely important to have a solid foundation of attraction; and that starts, of course, with the formation of the relationship.

2. Date people who have the same habits regarding food and exercise as you
According to research, it is extremely difficult to truly break these kinds of patterns, so if you already find your partner a bit too unathletic while you are dating, there is certainly a chance that this will affect the attraction over time. Just like eating habits: if you eat very healthily and your new love absolutely does not, or vice versa, it may be that the attraction is affected for one person, or for both.

3. Continue to express appreciation for your partner
And this may sound strange, but precisely based on appearance. Of course, the inner self is much more important, but to maintain attraction in a relationship, it is important that you both know that you still find each other the most beautiful and the most handsome. When you consistently express this, the chance is much smaller that intimacy will decrease. You also feel much sexier when you keep receiving compliments, and that naturally benefits the attraction.
