How to Keep Your Relationship Fresh With Romance

  • Posted on March 20, 2010 at 6:27 pm

Simply stated, romance is showing the one you love that you truly appreciate and value them.

Here are some ways to kick the romance volume up a notch:

Gifts

The worst thing you can do is forget a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or some other special occasion. These are timeslots built into the calendar year to help you show your love and appreciation for your honey.

The minimum requirement is to remember and give a gift and / or do something special together. You can either meet the minimum requirement, or show extra thoughtfulness and effort to make the occasion extra special.

Surprises

Surprises are one of the easiest ways to be romantic. All you have to do is treat the day as if it were a birthday or Valentine’s day without being prompted by the calendar. Give a gift or handwritten letter of appreciation “just because I wanted you to know how much I love you.” Keep his or her interests in mind and surprise him or her with tickets to a concert or musical. Be spontaneous. Make a special effort to express your love even when your calendar doesn’t tell you to.

Affection

Walk up to her and kiss her or hug her. Sweep her off her feet.

Show him how much you love him with a hug and kisses. Give him a massage.

Combine your affection with the element of surprise.

Affirmation

Affirmation is like affection except that affection is shown while affirmation is said. When employing affirmation for a romantic moment, tell the person with words how much they mean to you.

Write a love letter telling her what you appreciate about her.

When he needs encouraging, encourage him.

When one of you achieves a goal, celebrate together.

Remind one another that your lives are complete and happy because you are together.

Keep Your Wife Satisfied – Do You Know How?

  • Posted on March 19, 2009 at 9:56 pm

It’s a question that has been asked by men for ages. How can a husband keep his wife content and happy with him for an entire lifetime? I’ve asked myself this question, too. Too bad there wasn’t a formula that we all could apply and magically our wives would be satisfied for the remainder of our relationship, this would make life much easier. So what does it take, a nice dinner, some new clothes, maybe a new ring? These are your conventional solutions that may have worked in the past but judging by today’s divorce rates they don’t seem to be doing the trick. We’ve got to find a new answer to the question of how to keep your wife happy.

The answer isn’t as difficult or as expensive as it seems to be. What your wife wants more than any material possession is a listening ear and an understanding shoulder to cry on, someone who she has no worry about remaining faithful. She wants to be able to share her innermost feelings without the fear of being put down and she wants you to be able to do the same. What sort of message does it send out if a woman shares her inner thoughts but then her husband refuses to share his? It can easily make someone feel that it’s inappropriate to share these sorts of things because it makes you look vulnerable and person will quickly refrain from doing so.

If both of you agree that it’s okay to discuss how your feeling then you’ll be much more apt to do so. Michael Webb has written a book called 1000 Questions for Couples which covers issues very similar to this and also plenty more. It may be just what you need to ensure that you are doing everything you can to keep wife happy.

Saving Marriages With Unconditional Love

  • Posted on March 14, 2009 at 11:08 pm

In the middle of a session the other day I had a powerful realization. I was asked to think of a relationship I had with something in the last week that in my mind was the ideal relationship, and to think of what it was about that relationship that made it ideal.

A number of people in the group thought of their cars, tool sheds, families, workmates, old friends, even relationships with objects such as their television remote, recliner chair, diamond jewellery or favorite pair of shoes. To each of these people, these things felt comfortable, and simple. The relationships they had with these people or objects was rewarding and easy to maintain.

To make your marriage more rewarding, cast a look over:

What Husbands Can't Resist

When my turn came to identify my ideal relationship, I thought of my dog. My dog has very simple needs, and it is the ultimate ego-boost for me when I get home at night and I am greeted in such an enthusiastic fashion. I don’t know of any others that greet me so enthusiastically night after night. No matter how long I have been away from the house or no matter how my day has been. I call this unconditional love.

So what is unconditional love?

Unconditional love is the type of love that comes without conditions. It is the type of love that you have for your partner when the romantic, hollywood-style love is gone. Once the romantic love is gone you make the transition to “real” love. Real love is love you have for your partner despite the knowledge that they are not perfect. You know your partner has faults. You know your partner is not perfect. You know your partner makes mistakes sometimes, but that’s okay. You still love them. This is unconditional love.

The same thing applies to you however in looking at your partner’s faults. You acknowledge that you are the same. You have faults. You are not perfect. You know you make mistakes sometimes, but that’s okay. That’s called self-acceptance, and you expect unconditional love to overcome the faults and imperfections that people have.

So what do you get from this then? Should we all go out and get dogs to teach us something about unconditional love? Maybe there is a lesson to be learnt here. We all clutter our lives with trials and tribulations, and there is the temptation to let our issues rule our lives.

But if you are serious about saving your marriage you need to put the clutter to one side and let your unconditional love come through. It is okay to have faults and make mistakes. And love will conquer them all.

Have a think about unconditional love and how you can apply this realization to your relationship.
