There’s a lot of work that goes into keeping a relationship happy and healthy, but sometimes all it takes is just a few simple words for you and your significant other to remind each other why you got together in the first place - and we’re not just talking about “I love you.” If you’re looking for a few phrases you can use with your partner to help keep the love alive even when the going gets tough, this post from Pulse.ng has five of the best.

One of the best ways to get through a disagreement with your partner is to use the word "we" frequently. Saying, "We can work it out," when you're arguing will remind you both that you're not in this alone, and that you have each other's backs. It will make you feel more like you're a team as a couple, rather than in a one-sided argument. Additionally, saying something like "I hear what you're saying" when you're in the middle of a fight can help keep the tone of the argument from getting too combative. You'll remind your partner that you are on their team, even if you disagree with what they're saying, and that you're trying to understand things from their point of view. You don't always have to agree, but you do have to attempt to hear your partner's side of the story. Read on for more phrases that will improve your communication.
