So, go on, be madly in love! But don't forget to keep the rest of your life awesome too. Balance is the secret sauce to really savoring that love-filled dish!

# Spend time apart

Haven’t you ever heard the saying, “distance makes the heart grow fonder?” It’s not just something people say to be cute. It’s true. You need to spend time without each other in order for your relationship to be healthy.

Yes, even people who live together will find time to spend apart. You need to keep your sanity. It’ll also make you happier when you do get to see your significant other. You’ll cherish your time more and be able to enjoy being with them a lot more than if you spend every day together.

# Schedule “you” days

Basically, have a set day each week where your partner goes somewhere else so you can have a day just to yourself. The benefit to actually scheduling these days is that you’ll do them even if you don’t want to.

Believe me, you need those days. Being around your significant other can be a little exhausting, even if you are madly in love with them. It’ll be nice to have a day where you can relax and just do things you enjoy without having to worry about your partner.

# Keep in touch with friends every day

Just stay connected. You don’t have to talk to them about every little thing all the time but you should make sure to talk to them. Friends can drift away the less you see them. And if you’re madly in love with someone, you’ll see your friends less often.

But if you keep in touch and make an effort with them, they’ll continue inviting you out and making an effort to see you, too. If you don’t, they’ll likely reach out less and less. And before you know it, you won’t have friends left.

# Make an effort to spend time with friends

At the same time, you also have to be inviting your friends to do stuff too. Reach out to them and make sure they know that even though you’re madly in love, you still have time for them. They should never have to question if you want to still be friends and see them.

# NEVER give up your hobbies

Your hobbies are what make you, you. They’re the things that bring you joy aside from your partner. When you can’t do the things you enjoy because of your significant other, it’ll form a rift in your relationship.

At first, you won’t even notice it. But after a while, you’ll start growing upset with them without knowing why and it’ll be because you can’t enjoy your hobbies. So make sure you’re actively working on your hobbies whenever you get the chance.

# Communicate with your partner well

Just make sure you’re talking. You both need to make sure you tell each other when you’re upset or need space. Talk to them about missing your friends and wanting to spend more time with them.

If you’re truly in love, then you both want the other to be happy. Keeping your line of communication open will certainly help with that.

# Plan out your date nights

The best way to spend time together even amidst your crazy life is to plan out date nights. And I mean pick a day each week that’s exclusively for date night. Therefore, you’ll always get a date and you’ll always have time to be intimate with each other.

This also gives you six other days to plan other things. Sure, you’ll probably spend more than just that night with your significant other but it’s important to have the option of making other plans if you want to keep your life balanced.

# Never ignore your other duties

You have a life to live. Just because you’re madly in love doesn’t mean you can ignore it. This person is a part of your life now but just a part. Don’t neglect your other duties and responsibilities because you’re distracted by their presence. In order to have balance, you need to keep the other things in your life going strong.

# Get into a routine

Having a routine with work, friends, and your significant other will help you maintain the balance you need to function happily. You’ll be able to see your friends this way. You’ll be able to dedicate time for work this way. Your relationship will not suffer from having a set routine that helps you keep the balance.

# Remember that it’s HEALTHY to keep the balance

If you’re madly in love, then you’ll want to stay that way, right? If you don’t keep the balance in your life, your relationship will suffer. Just remember this and it’ll help you put forth an effort to keep your life balanced.
