...enjoy and take time for frequent family-centered dinners, at a real dinner table... away from the TV, computers and other such devices.
Even if it's a dinner for two, or just "pizza night"... sit at a dinner table and take time to be together without distractions, enjoy eachother's company and lots of laughter...or a serious talk where you give the other your undivided attention... at a real dinner table. For years while raising my son, because we were always so busy or were distracted by TV or video games, I neglected the family dinner time.... Until his grandparents reminded me of the importance of and special communications that can happen while at a real dinner table... and it reminded me of how many special memories I have of my great-gramma while at her table. In a relationship, I think the special time spent at a dinner or breakfast table is very important and very healthy. And it's fun to make special traditions for dinner time.... like my son's favorite that was passed down from my great-grampa..."Have dessert first; how else would you have room for it." ...I love to see people's expressions when I occasionally pull that one on them. Or, the old fashioned "pass and break the bread" at the beginning of a meal (that's one of my favorites). Dinner table traditions are a fun thing to do and opens up the door for laughter and relaxation. I believe the things that can happen and the open communication that flows at a dinner table can really strengthen bonds in a relationship.... it also shows you are willing to MAKE time out of your busy day for the other person or family members.... I love my beautiful dinner table NOT because it is a 100 year old hand carved, honey stained solid oak with beautiful round top and "hand turned" legs, with 4 very beautiful "wheat back" solid oak comfortable chairs...but because of the many special times and memories with family and loved ones. |

just sit around and TALK.

For Me
Communicate about everything. Leave nothing out. Never hide anything from your partner. A white lie is still a lie. It still will be found out and it still stings and causes so much devastation to a relationship. White Lies are termites lol Romance. Flowers candles foot rubs body rubs bubble baths washing her hair and the little things just to name a few show how much one cares Affection. Just holding hands a hug from behind as she cooks for you holding her while she sleeps these are just a few ways to be affectionate but go so far Loyalty. Stand by your partners side even if you think they are wrong. Always present a united front Honesty Always be.totally honest Trust. Trust your partner with every fiber of your being. If you can't trust them work it out or leave. Without trust there is nothing. Always Date. This will keep your relationship refreshed. And you will remember why you fell in love to start with. |
Leave work early and head to the beach!!!

play, have fun, joke around. Life is much less stressful when you don't take everything so seriously.

thought of another to do........If you are feeling like a night in shining armor or whatever you call a femme in shining armor. Jump on your horse and ride off into the sunset....come back and try it again when your armor is a little tarnished.
|
hmmmmm...
don't forget to take care of yourself... if you are not meeting your own personal needs, those can sometimes shift to your partner... which can be an overwhelming thing. you love your partner so easily... don't forget to love yourself!
|
When faced with assuming an action or word is malicious or just stupidly thoughtless or what have you, assume the best.
Remember your paramour is not perfect and is a flawed, failing, wonderful human being, just like you are. Change is hard and it takes time. If you and your honey bunny are trying to change patterns that started in either of your childhoods or wherever in life, mistakes will be made, don't freak. Pick yourself up, dust off and start again, with consistent dedicated work you will see change, however, it is not instant. |
Make sure every minute of every day that the person you have chosen to spend your life with knows how very loved they are.:bunchflowers:
|
Touch.....
|
be present and spend time with the person you are in a relationship with or get out of the relationship
|
Create your own traditions...
|
Listen :heartbeat:
|
TRUST
TRUST each other TRUST each others friendships, are just that friendships TRUST my judgment, I only want what is best for you and for us TRUST that nothing is off limits, you can talk to me about anything TRUST that we will not judge each other TRUST that at the end of the day no matter our difficulties of the day, we will go to bed happily and loving each other, not wondering. |
Celebrate everything!
|
keep your word, If you promise to do something, do it.
the excuses can get very old after a while. |
open your mouth
if you like something say so if you don't like something say so from everything from sex to supper open your mouth Don't appease each other. we are all different and it's ok to say so |
pick your battles
we don't have to always be (what we think is) right...... |
because it all comes out in the wash
be real, and honest |

I celebrate when I don't have to make a bank run after work. I'm already tired and cranky and it saves me about 20 minutes of time (plus mileage, etc), so that makes for a happier, less cranky but probably equally tired me when I get home and that means Ebon deals with less crankiness in general, which makes him super happy. |
If your gf/bf is having a hard day, BE THERE FOR HER/HIM! I don't care if you don't know what to do, it's okay because you don't have to fix it! At least say, "I'm here for you." :phonegab:
|
I don't need you to solve a problem for me, I just need you to listen...
Don't just listen to me, hear me and I will do the same for you... Kiss me... Kiss me often... Little things... Always... |

Talk... listen... talk more... listen more... forever and ever... amen....
