Morning inspiration: 5 ways to appreciate your love life (and stop complaining)

Changing the way you see your love life, shifting away from the bad things and knowing that life isn't perfect could help you be the best person you can be and make your relationship the best you ever had

Doesn't matter whether you're single, dating, married or divorced , your happiness totally depends on you.

Learning to appreciate your life and the people that make it beautiful would make you  a whole lot happier than you are.

Changing the way you see your love life, shifting away from the bad things and knowing that life isn't perfect could help you be the best person you can be and make your relationship the best you ever had.

Amy Spencer of YourTango lists 5 ways you can start appreciating what you have today

1. Let the lemons in love help you appreciate the sweet stuff: If you've never had a date go wrong, you wouldn't get as many fireworks in your belly when you kiss someone who's right. And sometimes it takes a bad relationship to open your eyes to see why you really deserve a good one. In other words, thank the lemons. Because as sour as they are in the moment, they're helping you appreciate the sweet stuff.
2. We all have a sweet spot. Find yours: Tennis players know the sweet spot on their racquet and aim for it every time. Well, we can aim for those same "sweet spots" in love, too. When are you most affectionate? That's your sweet spot for date night. When are you most patient and positive? That's your sweet spot for making plans for the future. What time of day or day of the week do you feel the most excited and hopeful? That's your sweet spot for first dates, when you're most open to having fun whatever happens. Harness the power of your sweet spot and you'll start hitting your whole love life out of the park.
3. Ask "What can I bring to the table?": The condiments you pack in a picnic basket give you plenty of options to alter the taste of a meal, and that's how your love life is, too. If you're aggravated with your date or partner, ask yourself this: "What can I bring to the table that might change our connection?" Maybe you could be affectionate first, ask questions, or be a generous and understanding listener. Sometimes a little hot sauce can be just the thing to change the whole night.
4. Be grateful for your differences: We groan about the differences or flaws in our partners, but thank goodness! You don't really want someone who likes the exact same food, music, books, and movies, and uses the same perfect towel-folding technique you do. The differences are what keep us learning, and the little flaws in one another are the unique parts worth loving. You know what winning in love is? Finding happiness in the floor models of love: as is. So sit back and enjoy your date or partner for who they are, full of little imperfections and big differences. Whether you're with them for two hours or twenty years, the differences in love are what make life most interesting.
5. Hey, you learn something new in love every day: If you had a bad date or a bad fight today, at least you'll know how to do things differently tomorrow. No rough moment in relationships is for naught if you gain wisdom and insight from the experience.
