You don’t, they evolve into something different. If you chase the honeymoon phase forever, you’ll never find contentment
Not possible. There are ups and downs in life.
It will never be as good as the honeymoon phase. Open communication with your partner is the best recipe for a great relationship
it will never be exactly the same and that’s completely fine, but it helps to never ever forget about the little things. they’re almost as important as the big ones if not more. knowing that my bf remembers something really specific and does it for me, or says like “oh yeah i remember when you did this and that”. just don’t forget to make them feel seen, act as though your partner doesn’t know how you feel about them:)
I think you start by re-evaluating why this would be a goal. Relationships evolve and change with time and experiences. They can get worse at times and better at times. If you’re working on it together and are open and things are where you both want them to be, why would it matter if they’re the same level of ‘good’ as day one. I’ve been with my partner for over 20 years and things are way better now than day 1.
Both people need to be in agreement that the relationship is going to change. When that’s settled, then it’s just about always making sure to not take your partner for granted or to view them with contempt. It comes with an agreement of, “What do you want from me to make you happy?” “What do I want from you to make me happy?” If what your partner asks of you is doable and you can do the same, the relationship can flourish.
But a relationship is a constant effort. You always have to put in a little bit of work and self-sacrifice to keep things stable and happy. You have to remember to show your partner affection and to give them love the way they receive it. Always perform above and beyond and ensure your partner would also do the same for you or give you something equivalent.
As far as the relationship staying like it does in the honeymoon phase, that’s impossible. The honeymoon phase is a more superficial phase anyway. A real relationship is one where you both go through some serious sh** and come out stronger together. It’s easy to make a relationship work when times are good.
It’s not so easy when times are rough. The death of a parent, the loss of income, depression, mental illness. That’s where a relationship is truly tested.
I make her laugh.
If you try to keep a relationship the same as the first day forever, it won’t be “good”.
Relationships are like a living thing. You have to give them space to grow into what they’ll ultimately become. You can monitor and prune and feed your relationship to try and shape what it will be, but if you try to keep it completely static it won’t last.
You don’t, you make it better.
A strong relationship becomes so much better than Day 1.
I have been married for fifteen years and love my spouse so much more than I did in the beginning. Our go-to, and it is not easy and took some time to learn to do, is to hug one another when we are fighting. It is our way of acknowledging that even though we are angry, the love is stronger. I also say, “I love you, but right now I really don’t like you.” Sometimes after the hug we don’t talk yet because we may need more space/time, but it puts our anger into perspective.
Can’t get worse than day 1 if you never leave day 0
You don’t. With work, commitment, communication and mutual respect, it will become so so much more.
Easy. Make sure you have a shitty first day.
You can’t. Its a group effort.
Gratitude.
Never stop dating your partner. You don’t need to fake things, but don’t take things for granted. Make time to go have fun. Impress each other. Work to make them proud and want to be with you. Try eachother’s hobbies genuinely but still let them have their own thing if you’re not interested or they need their time.
And most importantly realize that they’re going to change and grow, or perhaps even regress as all people do at times. You can shape, help, and direct that, but you can’t control it. Ride the waves, communicate honestly, and you’ll be solid
You know how at first you pretend to be better than you actually are, and your partner is doing the same? Once you start being so comfortable around you forget to pretend to be the better you?
Give your partner the courtesy to pretend to still see their better better self, they’ll return the favour. That’s the price you pay for being able to be yourself around them, that price is paid with love.
whatever u do, do not cum on her face
You become best friends, then it’s better!
Mutual anterograde amnesia?

Good relationships get better. I wouldn’t want my relationship to go back to day 1.
Keep dating. Embrace conflict. It’s the fertilizer for growth.
start early and startover often
If by better you mean that rush of dopamine and adrenaline you get every time you look at a new partner, the answer is you don’t.
If by better you mean more loving, stable, caring, and understanding then day one should be a low point in your relationship. Communicate, grow together as individuals and as a couple, address issues quickly and maturely.
Constant communication mutual respect and never taking each other for granted.
Kiss her right now fool.
The ability to make each other laugh often. Life is tough but giggles and smiles promote: trust, comfort, and the extra endorphins to make it through anything.
I would consider my marriage a complete failure if it was only “as good” as the relationship was on literally the first day I met my wife lol
You don’t and can’t. Married 25 years together 27 years & there is no way I nor my husband can keep things as good as the first day.
You don’t. You just have to make sure it ages like wine and not milk.
I suppose I could reset the clock by punching her in the face or insulting her mother. In general, I make a *terrible* first impression, and it takes me a long time to work my way out of it.
Always embrace the “cheap thrill”.
Growing together, and everybody growing on his/her own.
We are together for 40 years now, and it is getting better every year.
Code sentences help us a lot not to argue if not necessary. When my wife has doubt in something I’m doing, although she knows I can do it very well, I just say “trust me, Baby”, with a grin, and she relaxes.
We pick a night to order pizza and watch TV like we did on the first date. 420 friendly.
Day 1 is a fairly low threshold. Day 1 you don’t know if there will be a day 2, and probably wouldn’t be particularly upset if there wasn’t, just maybe a bit disappointed.
If you cultivate good communication it will likely be better than it was day 1 as time marches on.
day 1 he was a drunk teenager with his own vomit on his shoes and I was a drunk teenager who thought he was the hottest thing on the planet.
We are doing a little better than that in our 40s now lol.
There comes a point in some marriages where romance is almost viewed as ‘cringy’ between partners. Once that threshold is reached, there is often no turning back. Don’t let that happen. Keep up romantic gestures and signs of affection and love.
You can’t recreate the feeling you’re thinking about.
But it will evolve.
My love for my wife, when it started, was a flame. Bright passionate and wild.
We’re nearing a decade, and the flame may have dimmed, but the love has evolved into an ocean. Bottomless, calm at times, stormy at others, but endless as far as you can see.
She’d call my lame for writing that, and on day 1, I may have thought she meant it. But today, if she called me lame, I’d know deep down she’d think it was sweet. I love her for that, more than I could ever have imagined on day 1.
Impossible. Human nature makes it impossible. We become bored and jaded with what we have over time.
The best you can so is adapt to the fact that it will change over time. Good couples usually do a good job of riding that wave together, open and honestly.
You can remain in love but it won’t be like it was at the very earliest part.
