Your Relationship Goals

  So often we spend most of our time taking care of our physical needs. We make sure our bodies are fed, cleaned, clothed, exercised and rested. We also make sure intellectual stimulation and entertainment is a priority. Yet we also overlook the most important need -- love. Of course, as a society, love is not overlooked. Popular media constantly places great emphasis on what we need to do and how we should look to attract "love". But being loved is not as powerful an emotional need as that desire to love someone else. The need to love and care for others is built into us biologically. This need is what allows parents to forgo sleep, food, and sanity while raising their children. This need is what allows people to put themselves at risk to save others from natural disasters and human threats. This need is what makes human society work on both a small and a large scale. Loving others allows us to put the needs and desires of others before our own. We will work harder and longe...

  Let’s get one thing cleared up first.  Being romantic isn't about some grand extravagant gesture like flying first class to Paris for a 2 week romantic blitz.  It's about the little things.  Little things are simple things that you do for your loved one. Despite the fact that they are "little" they can mean a lot because it illustrates that you took time out of your busy life just to show them how much you care.   One thing that most people want  is to feel special and loved.  It’s how you show them that you love them, where the challenge comes in.  Some people feel loved when they are told repeatedly that they are loved.  Others feel loved when they are touched frequently.  And others see love in gestures and everyday kindnesses.  Of course, there are others that may need all three of the above to really feel loved and secure but usually there is one need that dominates.  You need to find out what your partner needs and...

Have you ever dreamed of having magic to make your love last longer? If there is magic, love will be all around, no more sorrow. Or maybe it’s just that some people learn secrets of success from their grandparents or other relatives or friends. And since the latter is probably more accurate, here are some tried and true tips from people who have enjoyed long, happy relationships.  Dates: Keep dating each other. Even if life seems too busy, meet at the end of the evening for something light and easy, like viewing your favorite sitcom (record it if necessary) together or playing a game of Euchre.  Space: Give each other some space. Either you trust or you don’t. Get on with life, though. People need time alone and time with their mates and other friends. Be sure to give and take your fair share of space.  Forget: No need to always remember the bad things that happened during an argument. Actively forget sometimes. Be the first to apologize and make up. Go for it!  F...

    If you want to know how to impress your date, and develop a successful relationship, read on! Be polite! As they always say, politeness doesn't cost anything. Any lover likes to be treated with respect and appreciation by their new flame. Politeness is an easy, socially  acceptable way to show respect and interest. It is also a very straight laced way of wooing  someone, but wooing it still is, and it might work wonders. Politeness still has the air of old  fashioned chivalry and romantic  liaisons and who can resist being treated like the queen of  someone's world? Be flirtatious. This is the part where you can show your passionate, playful and maybe slightly devious side. Flirtation is fun, exciting and sexy. You can show that you have some  sharper edges so that you don't end up in the 'boring lover' category. Falling in love is about  excitement, taking risks and playing with fire. Flirtation is a good way to show your darker side. ...
