If you want a great relationship you have to decide to be intentional and on purpose about doing the things that keep love exciting and alive, taking ownership for the part you play and the things you can do to make the relationship the one you dream of. Not surprisingly, these essential habits are equally applicable to relationships and couples. Of course, we can’t talk about great habits without referring to “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” identified by author Stephen Covey in his classic best seller.
