First off it is work. Second,opposite do NOT attract. If you have nothing in common it will never work. You have to be able to talk. Even when you want to scream, take a deep breath and really talk. Fight fair. Talk about what bothers you. Not what he/she did 6 months ago. Only what the current issue is.  You have to have compromise. Pick your battles, don’t fight over every little thing.  A good relationship is  give and take.

Be willing to experiment in bed and in life. You never know, you may have the time of your life.

Make time for each other. No matter what, find time in the day for just the two of you.

Make sure your partner knows how you feel about them, and you know how they feel about you. Know what your partner wants in a relationship. There is no need in moving on with the relationship if you want different things.
