How to Improve your Relationship

Hi,

See the link at the bottom of this page for more information on "Getting your Ex back" and dealing with a broken relationship.

When you start talking again...

Have a look at what you would like to do together, ask your lover where they would like to go with you and how you would like to get there.

Sharing life and seeing the world together can build a fabulous future together

I have had known friends who have taken the time to do the little things together and talking and sharing have built a relationship that others envy.

Simple things like walking hand in hand a small kiss and a hug can make your day feel like new even when things are not the best.

Time is short and putting things off for the future is not always the right way.

Communicate, communicate, communicate!

The most essential element in a healthy relationship is open and honest communication between both partners. Holding in anger or wounded feelings will only hurt the relationship in the long run.

Talk things out with your partner — and don't forget to thank your partner for the little things he or she does for you. Sharing good feelings and appreciation are part of communication too! Cook for love.

The way to a man's heart — or a woman's — is through his or her stomach! Seduce your partner with chocolate, bananas, cinnamon, or any other aphrodisiac foods. And for the guys who think the kitchen is a woman's territory, I know many women would agree that there's nothing sexier than a man who can cook — or at least do the dishes!

Take pride in the way you look. Eating well, staying active, and drinking plenty of water will help you maintain a healthy weight, smooth, clear skin, and strong, healthy hair. Don't forget about regular grooming and hygiene habits — people who floss live longer!

Dress the part! Put on something special for your significant other. Ladies, wear that pretty dress just because you know he likes it, and men — you know how to look great when you try! C'mon, do it for your sweetie! Plan a date. With hectic work schedules, family responsibilities, and household errands, who has time for a spur-of-the-moment rendezvous?

Set aside one night a week as your date night, and don't let anything get in the way! Also, make an agreement not to discuss kids, money, or work while you're on your date!

Time Issue: How to solve it

So you need to find a good balance between all of your commitments, while maintaining a happy relationship. Here is a great way: Designate a "Date Night." Set aside a particular day of the week that the two of you go on a date. It could be a fancy dinner, going to a movie, or just hanging out in front of the TV watching your favorite shows. The purpose here to is create a chance to bond. A main cause of divorce is not spending quality time together, which can easily happen when the two of you become too busy to remember.

The Sex Problem & How To Fix It

Let's look at ways to keep the excitement alive, even if you've been together for years. Some couples look at familiarity with each other as a bad thing. Wrong! This should be an advantage.

Think about it like a mattress you've had for 10 years. Over the year, it has conformed to your body and nothing else feels better. You wouldn't trade it for anything.

That's how sex with your spouse should be. You know exactly what each other likes, and if you want to try something new, you are comfortable enough with each other to say so.

Communication is the key, and if there is something you want to try, speak up! And there's no reason to be bored. Like they say, there are a million ways to skin a cat. No pun intended.

What To Do About The Money Issue

How do you solve this? Simple, make a budget and stick to it. It is very important that you make the budget TOGETHER. Take a piece of paper, and list out all the monthly sources of income on the left side. Total those numbers.

Then list out all of the monthly expenditures on the right side, and total them up. Hopefully, the number. If not, then you have some work to do. Take a look at the expenditures and see if there are some that you can cut out. Having a $5 Starbuck latte every morning might not look so good anymore.

You might find some other things you can do without, which is the purpose of this exercise. And remember, you should both agree on every decision. Otherwise, it won't work.

There might be some things you NEED to have. That is up to the both of you to compromise on. Once you have come to a point where the both of you are comfortable, take another look at the budget and be realistic about it.

The reality of it is that you might have to make some sacrifices.

But if it means that you have created a stable financial environment, it will go a long way to having a happy relationship.

Here is a site a friend sent to me that helped me build a solid relationship when I had all but given up and was about to walk away from my partener, I have listed it below.

I hope it helps you as it did me.

Wishing you a long and happy life and loveing relationship.
