You Can Improve Your Relationships

 

Is there magic to what makes some relationships last longer than others? Maybe. Do some people just sit back and sulk, while others seem to let life go by right over their heads and problems? It sure seems so. Or maybe it ís 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. 

 



 REFRESH: Take time to look back, refresh your memories and share what brought you together. Especially when times are difficult, lean back and rely on these old memories as your foundation and glue yourselves back together with them (not literally, of course!)

 

 

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 any games. 

 

 

FUN: Couples tend to have fun on dates, then get married and be too serious. Lighten up. Head to Yahoo Games (off Yahoo.com main site) and join in any number of cards or other games. Or head to a local rental shop and rent an Xbox or other game player and some games.

 

 

FORGET: No need to always remember the bad things that happened during an argument. Actively forget it. Be the first to apologize and make up. Go for it!

 

 

 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.

 

 

DISAGREE: Agree that it's okay to disagree on some issues, and leave it at that. No need to create a new religion or political movement just to appease both of you. You don't have to agree on everything. And you won't. And that is okay.

 

 

MEMORIES: Make some together. Enjoy special moments, 

special anniversary dates and events. No need to be elaborate.

For example, maybe you enjoyed watching a hot air balloon 

race one spring day. Next year, you might schedule time to 

watch it again. Make it an annual event. Collect postcards with

balloons on them, playing cards, toss pillows over time it 

becomes a theme.

Tips For a Successful Relationship   What's the key to a successful relationship? Some say that truly is the “million-dollar” question. Sometimes it's just the simple things that we easily forget or think are unimportant that hold the key to a healthy and happy relationship. Read through the helpful tips below on how to make your relationship go the distance.       Without quality time together, your relationship will not survive. Aim to devote at least half an hour a night, and at least a couple of days a month when the two of you spend time exclusively together.     You both want to feel secure within the relationship. A good relationship is built on compromise and a lot of give and take from both of you.     Often those little things that first attracted you to your partner can turn into nasty annoying habits. Learn to love your partner, warts and all. Don't try to change them into something they're not, after all you fell in love with them just the way they were.

Places...Places...Places!

Places...places...places!!! Each and every one of us have a desire to go somewhere else that will make us happy...some do this to re-invigorate himself...to think...to meditate...to have some peace of mind...to visit old friends...to visit relatives. Some go there in their own...some with their friends and most especially with their family. I, being a Pisces is a nature lover, I want to explore and do some adventures. But sometimes the kind of job I have make it impossible to do what I want. So If I have enough time or if I can cope it I rather go to savour the new air I can inhale. Well, it is obvious that as of now I can't boast that I've been to another country. What I plan, as my budget can't make it is to first, see all the beautiful place here in the Philippines. I've been to Pagsanjan Falls, Lagos del Sol at Caliraya Lake, Abra, my wife hometown wherein I saw how they celebrate their fiesta and Semana Santa, some beaches in Ilocos Sur, at Vigan, I've already

There are many ways to express love to your partner other than quoting the actual words "I Love You." Usually the fire in relationships dies down after a while and the feeling of your heart pounding with the excitement of being with your significant other is not felt nearly as often, or even at all.
