Focus on what matters
 People aren’t as loving and compassionate as they used to be. Everyone is so preoccupied with getting ahead, which is a stress on relationships. Don’t put love on the back burner; you need to recognise what makes you feel alive and cared for, instead of just surviving day-to-day life the small things

Constant love
 It’s easy to be loving when the setting is romantic, when you’ve got an extra jingle in your pocket or when you’re looking good, but love grows in the midst of our frantic, daily lives. It’s about noticing the look on your partner’s face that says, 'I’m having a really bad day,’ and responding to that. The small, simple actions keep love alive. It doesn’t mean you have to stop your stressful life, but you may have to shift your focus a bit

Don’t forget
You can tell when new couples are in love because they’re holding hands, kissing and talking. When people have been together for a while, they stop that. It only takes a few minutes to say hello and smile. To help refocus your relationship, write a joint statement of your love philosophy. This states what matters to you and what you want to focus on each day

Practice makes perfect
My trainer says if I want flat abs I’ll actually have to go to the gym. I can’t just think about it and wish for flat abs. It’s the same with love and compassion; we have to practise it every day. Being compassionate towards the people you see all the time – your friends, family, co-workers – will help you have a better relationship with your partner

The right tool for the job
Communication in a relationship is essential, but sometimes we overtalk and complain to our partners. It’s nice to be quiet and to let the energy between you develop. I have a 'conversation toolbox’, which consists of sentences you should use regularly: 'You might be right’, 'Help me understand’ and 'Tell me everything’. They invite a more open conversation
