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.

10 Ways To Rekindle The Magic In Your Relationship

  • Posted on July 26, 2009 at 11:52 pm

Are you frustrated that your relationship doesn’t have the magic and romance that it once had?

You’re not alone. Living with the same partner for a long time can become stable and comfortable, and, as a result, can also cause the loss of the spark that made your relationship so special in the first place. Here are some simple, fun and creative ideas to reignite that magic:

1. Send them a unique gift at work – Get a piece of paper and some crayons. Draw a bright childlike picture with a smiley sun and two stick figures holding hands. Add labels with your two names pointing to the stick figures. Write ‘I Love You’ inside a heart. Next get a large formal envelope. Place your drawing inside and type up a formal address label of your partner’s workplace, such as: “For the immediate and urgent attention of: Rebecca Jones, Level 20, Collins & Smith Solicitors, New York.” Mail it to your partner so they receive it in the middle of a busy day.

2. Become kids again – If you are walking by a park, visit the swings and give your partner a ride. This will often bring back happy memories from their childhood.

3. Fun with water – On a hot summer’s day, buy two large water pistols and take them to the beach with you. Pull them out and throw one to your partner and then have a huge water fight.

4. A massage with a twist – Buy a small, decorated cardboard box, a sheet of colored tissue paper, some massage oil and a blank card. Line the box with the tissue paper. Place the massage oil in the box and write the following message on the card: I know a great masseur. For an appointment call: (Your Phone Number)

5. Bring back childhood memories – Contact your partner’s family and ask if there was anything she always wanted when she was a little girl. For example if she always wanted a porcelain doll, buy one for her birthday. She will not only appreciate the gift, but also the fact that you were thoughtful enough to find out what she always wanted. You can do this for your man too.

6. Stare at the clouds – Drive into the country, find a grassy hill, and lie with your partner and look up at the clouds.

7. Go for a walk on the beach – Trace out the shape of a large love heart in the sand. Sit inside the heart and cuddle your partner as you watch the sun go down.

8. Organize a backyard picnic on a warm summer’s night –

Spread a picnic blanket on the ground and get together some snacks, chocolates and champagne. Lie down on the blanket with your partner and gaze up at the stars together.

9. Show you’re grateful for your partner –

Leave a long-stem rose where your partner will find it, with a note on it saying: “Thank you for coming into my life.”

10. Spice up your lovemaking – Probably the most profound way to rekindle the romance in your relationship is to spice up your lovemaking. Surprise your partner with a little gift after you make love, try a new position, learn to give your partner a sensual massage before or after, or just spend some time staring into each other’s eyes and caressing their bare skin before making love.

Many people underestimate the affect passionate and intimate lovemaking has on a relationship. If you spice it up, chances are you and your partner will naturally do romantic things for each other. Why? Because passionate lovemaking connects two people in a meaningful and unexplainable way that nothing else can.

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.

My Ex Called to See How I Was. How Do I Interpret this and What Do I Do Now?

What Husbands Can't Resist

T.W. Jackson, the author of the downloadable book “The Magic Of Making Up” responds to one of his readers’ questions.

Does My Ex Want To Get Back With Me? (How To Tell…)

  • Posted on March 14, 2009 at 11:17 pm

If your ex is showing you a little bit of interest, or seems more interested in going out and spending time with you than before, or if you notice signs that your ex is trying to flirt with you, then it’s okay to be a little hopeful but you need to avoid jumping the gun. Are you asking yourself “does my ex want to get back with me”?

What Husbands Can't Resist

These are definitely very common signs that your ex is interested in getting you back. But even if you want to get back with your ex, you should not simply jump into things. The best way to play things is to play hard to get (in moderation), which is probably what your ex will best respond to anyway. If you simply jump into things full force, then you may find your ex pushing you back again. In fact, if your ex is giving indications that he or she wants you back, then the odds are, it was you playing hard to get that led to the renewed interest in the first place.

Usually when you break up with your ex, or he or she breaks up with you, there is a natural level of missing one another, or longing to get back together. This is especially true following a relationship of a year or longer. Your ex is probably going to miss you no matter what, because of how many memories were shared together during this period of time. But there are other emotions that come into play including past regrets. If you are wondering “does my ex want to get back with me” the odds are that your ex may be thinking the same thing for the same reasons.

Sometimes when an ex shows interest again following a break up however, it is only a game. They may see that you love them, and they may simply be trying to get attention, without actually intending to get you back. So, unless your ex really seems genuinely interested in spending time with you, they may just be passing the time because they have no other prospects on the horizon. And worst of all they may see this as away to get revenge for some perceived wrong. This is why it is important not to jump the gun, and why you should focus on reading into the situation before you act on it.

This is common, and a lot of people find themselves wondering “does my ex want to get back with me?”, but the truth is, it’s better to get a feel for the situation before you act. In reality, if your ex does want to get back with you, playing hard to get (in moderation) is the best scenario because it will prevent you from getting hurt if your ex is not really serious about getting back with you.

Why Your Husband Needs Sex

  • Posted on March 14, 2009 at 11:13 pm

It is well known that women use several thousand more words a day than men do. Men tend to bottle up their emotions and keep their feelings inside. Much of their communication comes with being sexually physical with their mates. If women were able to get inside their husbands’ heads, they would know that, although sex is very important to men physically, it is also important to them for other reasons as well. It is their main way of bonding with the person they love, both physically and emotionally.

What Husbands Can't Resist

Men definitely have certain physical needs just by nature of the way they are put together; however on an emotional level, men will tell you that sex is important to them for the same reasons that it is important to a woman. It creates a bond, both emotionally and physically, between two people who care about each other.
When a man truly loves a woman and they have a strong sexual bond, a man will become emotionally dependant upon her. That bond means more to your man than you know.

Women who develop that bond with their husbands will find they have happier more fulfilling marriages than they could have ever dreamed possible. Your husband is less likely to stray and he will become so emotionally connected to you that he will do everything and anything in his power to keep you happy.

If you’d like to know more about what motivates your husband, you can find out simply by visiting What Husbands Can’t Resist. You’ll be glad you did and your husband will thank you in so many ways!

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.
