Or do they? Not really. But they might have had they been able to get hold of my book called the Magic of Making up!

Most people wait until it is almost to late before they realise that their relationship is really in trouble. If you have already broken up, I would strongly recommend you get a copy of the book listed above. It is never to late to start to save a relationship but one should not take a chance. However, if you have not reached the break up stage yet, but your relationship is in serious need of some CPR following the tips below will help you get back on track.

Here are some tips that you can start following straight away to steal back the heart of the one you love.

1. One of the first things you should do is to show your partner you love them and one of the ways to do that is to leave them little notes around the house or in the briefcase that he or she takes to work. What so say in them? Here are a few examples.

* I'm so glad you're in my life * You make my life worthwhile * You complete me (ala Jerry McGuire) * Your love carries me through the day * The thought of coming home to you every day fills my heart with joy * A day without you is like a day without sunshine * Your love puts a spring in my step * I love you for who you are * I love the way we are together

This may sound rather corny, but reminding that special person in your life how much they mean to you will make their day happier and they will appreciate the fact that you have gone to some lengths to make them feel good about themselves!

2. Cook a special meal and lay out a romantic table with candles and the whole nine yards. Once a week special romantic dinners for just the two of you will freshen up your relationship to an unbelievable extent. Send the kids to a friend or family member, or get a baby sitter. Or if you prefer, and you can afford it, stay over in a romantic getaway.

3. Treats don't always have to be expensive though. You know what music your partner likes, right? Put together a CDof their favourite songs that they can listen to on their way to work. He or she will love you for that!
