00:00 - Stages of a long term relationship
Psychologist, Dr Suri talks about two stages of a relationship - The early phase of a love relationship and a calmer stage of a relationship. The early step of dating is like islands of happiness - filled with excitement and thrill, but with time, this stage of relationship changes and settles down into something more calm and stable. Dr Suri calls it the calmer stage of a relationship.

The calmer stage of a relationship can feel like you are in a boring relationship because it's missing the thrill and uncertainty of the early phase of a relationship. But contrary to what it might seem, this calmer phase of love can be a sign of a healthy relationship.

01:30 - Why you feel bored in your relationship?
But if the calmer stage of a relationship is healthy, then why does it feel boring? There are two common reasons why people feel bored in a relationship, especially a long-term relationship.

The first reason is that the conversations in the relationship become stale. In the calmer phase of a relationship, you already know the basic things about your partner. Now it's time to have deeper and more meaningful conversations in your relationship. Without such deep talks, the conversation can become stale. Still, to have such a deep bonding, you both need to be open up more and be more vulnerable with one another.

The second reason is that you are not used to being in a healthy, long term relationship. A common reason why unhealthy relationships can be more exciting is that you spend a lot of time thinking about the other person and the relationship (even if negatively). On the other hand, a healthy relationship doesn't force you to think about your partner all the time. You will have to make conscious choices and efforts to keep emotionally investing in your relationship.

04:50 - How to fix a boring relationship?
Now that you know that your relationship is not boring because you don't love them. Instead, it's just a different phase of a healthy relationship. It's time to make your boring relationship fun again. Dr Suri shares three tips on how to fix a monotonous relationship. The first relationship tip is to keep dating your partner, even after the honeymoon period is over. The second relationship advice is to have deep, meaningful conversations with your partner every day. And the third piece of advice is to have shared goals that you and your partner work towards together - So you can grow closer and stronger together.

The video goes deeper into each of these relationship tips.
