I’ve been in a relationship for a bit more than a year, everything doing quite well so far, looking forward to advice to how to make it last.
We are already planning to a have a “date night” every two weeks to get away from the daily routine.

Not really specific to that age but communication is the most important thing in any relationship. If you have any problems with anything your partner does or doesn’t do talk about it, do not let it fester and grow on the inside until it all bursts out and becomes a much bigger thing than solving that small (or even big) initial problem together would have been. And that means direct communication, no subtle hints or expectations of mind reading.
Also don’t take it personal! If they tell you something it’s not against you but for the relationship. And try expressing stuff in sentences like “I feel that you don’t do the dishes enough” instead of “you never do the dishes”. Remember that they might percive the world differently and the real facts sound way more open to discussion if you just express your view instead of claiming absolutes!
