How To Win In Love (Part 2)


This is going to be part 2 in my long series on how to keep a healthy relationship. Make sure you bookmark and keep coming back to read more as this will be quite a lengthy series.

5. Give Your Partner Some Room

Of course time together is absolutely what is needed to maintain a healthy relationship. Almost just as important sometimes is the time away you give each other. I don’t care who you are. There are going to be things that both of you just don’t like doing with one another. It’s okay to each go your separate ways at times. It also makes for a healthy relationship in the trust area. If you can’t trust your partner to do their own thing once in a while then this relationship is bound for doom either way.

6. Avoid Stupid petty Arguments

If you want to keep a relationship healthy then it’s in everyone’s best interest to stay away from debates that can turn into stupid arguments. Now I’m not saying that debates can’t be good. The problem is that most times the debate turns into a heated battle that just isn’t needed in any healthy relationship. So if you see or feel it coming on then that may be a good time to steer into a different direction.

7. Don’t Just Talk To Talk

Married or not. Kids or not. Conversation is key to establishing a healthy relationship. Don’t just sit around and talk about the age old question, how is the weather? This can get very dull and boring in a hurry. Questions that are important are questions about your mate or kids. Ask how school or work was. You may not even understand the answers some time but just listening is very good for a healthy relationship.

8. Don’t Let The Old get Away

Maybe you and your mate had some old traditions that you used to do that just fell by the wayside. At one time these traditions were very important so why shouldn’t they be now. It will absolutely do wonders for a healthy relationship to rekindle these old traditions.

My experience comes from 20 years of successful marriage and a determination to have a successful marriage. You can also check our relationship squidoo lens below.

How To Win In Love (Part 1)


Facts To Help Your Marriage

Now a days in our society marriage seems to just be a game to many people. With the divorce rate hovering around 50% we really need some help. Commitment is just a word that people are mispelling, dating is like a speed race. No one is stopping to get to know one another. So if you happen to be one of the lucky ones that is in a relationship or marriage that you feel is worth working for then I have some help for you.

1. Lets Get Back To The Beginning

We all know that at the start of a relationship everything usually runs as smooth as oil. We all seem to ignore the little annoyances but then the nagging starts. You start picking at one another. So if this sounds like your relationship then its time to sit down and be honest with each other. Now both of you want to make a promise to start over. You need to figure out the things that worked in the past and get back to them. No one is saying this is going to be a piece of cake. You have to both forgive and forget and commit to putting in the effort to getting things the way they used to be. You have to remember to be patient and focus on the little things that made you happy whenyou first started dating.

2. Make Time For Each Other

In todays hustle and bustle making time for one another can often prove to be very difficult. So thats why both of you have to make the commitment to schedule time together and stick to the chosen times. This time can be with friends, it can be going out for a nice meal or even snuggling together on a couch watching the latest new release. Now we all know that when we schedule a business meeting we always show up so its imperitve that you show your relationship the same courtesy. Once the time is set aside the only way you miss it is if someone is dyeing or it may just be you dyeing.

3. A Shocking Touch

Can you just walk up to your partner and give them a nice soft non sexual kiss on the neck. Maybe just play with their hair while watching television or just caress their skin when the opportunity presents itself. Remember you are reaching for affection and not sex. There is a differance. When you first start doing this you may get some weird looks of surprise from your partner but trust me they will look forward to you continuing to do it.

4. Keep Things On The Edge

Ok lets say ahead of time you and your significant other made some plans. Well now that the plans are made its up to you to turn this into an even bigger event. Go behind your partners back and plan something that they love doing. Lets say your hubby loves hockey. So ahead of time you purchase some great tickets for a hockey game. Make sure you drive. When hubby questions as to where the heck you guys are headed tell him what you did. Its something like this that will severley touch his heart and something he will remember forever.
