Relationships will only get better when you build them... rather than getting saturated in a relationship, try your way of building them for better;
Most important aspect in a 'heart' felt relationship and that is creating a atmosphere where you can discuss anything and everything without any fear about 'what would happen to my relationship if I discuss this with my partner?'... not only you should be open to any sudden changes and let your partner to be comfortable enough to discuss any issue, you have to do your bit to let the other person accept you in a similar manner and this can only happen with being what are you in front of your partner.
Creating 'we' in a relationship is not so easy... for both of you, be it because of your love and passion, accept one and other as ONE and the 'we' in a relationship will be easy... but, the biggest challenge is accepting each other's family as ONE... if you and your partner would succeed in this, that's it, major issues are solved and won't turn up again in your relationship.
Practicing accepting your partner the way he/she is... do not expect them to change the way you want... just be compassionate in the relationship... stop judging the other person and just love your partner... this way you can develop openness and affection in the relationship that will last for a life time.
