What is the key to a successful relationship? Teen magazine reveals the simple things which teenagers need to know to deepen their relationship.

1. Without quality time, your relationship will not survive. Take out at least half an hour a night, and at least one day a month when the two of you spend time exclusively.

2. You will both need security, comfort. A good relationship is built on compromise and a great deal of give and take on both sides

3. Keep your dependence and independence in balance. Tell and show your partner how much you need him, but do not cling, as that can make your partner feel trapped.

4. Encourage him to listen to you, by showing appreciation when he does. By the same token, show interest when he talks to you. Be aware that most men are not mentally programmed for conversation in the way women are. They need more silence and internal time.

5. Make him appreciate you. Do not wait for a spontaneous compliment, but say something good about yourself. And ask for his agreement.

6. Teach him, preferably early in your relationship, exactly how to give you a fail-safe orgasm because it is unlikely he will find out alone. If you don’t yet know yourself find out.

7. Learn to do the one thing that is most likely to restore good feeling in your relationship- giving your partner a genuine, loving and approving smile.

8. Often those subtle quirks that first attracted you to your partner can, with time, turn around and become toe-curling annoying habits. Learn to love him, warts and all.

9. Hidden resentments poison a relationship; so if something bothers you say it. Remember that while men are wary of emotional conversations, they love to find solutions. Express your problem and then ask him to help you find the answer.

10. Learn that punishing your partner won’t work. It may make you feel better to give him a hard time, but it will actually make him dig his heels in more. A better tactic is to reward the things you like and ignore what you do not like.
