The Kiss 2006-10-06 19:06:00
(Sorry I'm a bit late this week.)
A lot can be said for the kiss. It is often the first sign of affection. It is key to personal connection. It creates romance, passion and intimacy. It can say a lot of things. When you are in a long term relationship, how can you have some fun with the kiss?
Kiss the mirror before going to bed at night, so you partner sees it when he/she wakes up in the morning.
Kiss a piece of paper and put it into your partner's lunch bag.
Write "I love you " in the snow outside the bedroom window and trace out kissing lips below it. Or you can use sticks and leaves.
Buy a helium balloon with lips on it.
Send flowers. One the card, place a kiss.
Send an email kiss.
Give a small kiss over the phone.
(girls only) Put on your brightest lipstick and kiss your partner all over before he wakes up. (You should likely only do this if you don't have to go anywhere in a hurry)
Things you should do everyday:
Kiss your loved one good morning
Kiss your loved one goo

Tip One: Make it a priority 2006-09-11 21:20:00 Staying intimate with a partner, like most things in life, takes a commitment. You need to want to work at it. You need to want it there. There has to be willingness on both people's side. So tip number one is to make intimacy a priority
in your relationship.
Before you can look at connecting physically, you should connect emotionally and mentally. How do you do this, you might ask. It depends on your interests and your available resources. The most important thing is to spend time as a couple alone. While you should try to set aside a minimum of five minutes a night to catch-up on the day and get in-touch with each others' mood, you need to go above and beyond every once and a while. Stretch it out. Do it once a week, once a month, even once a year,
Spend a night without the TV on. Instead play an old board game like Life or Payday.
Take on a new hobby together. Try something that neither one of you has done before but both want to. (For my hubby and me it might be rock climbin

The Tough Times 2006-10-25 06:04:00 No relationship is without negatives. These negative experiences will play a critical role in the health and longevity of your relationship.
Intimacy develops over time. It must be grown slowly as we deepen our relationship. These means making ourselves vulnerable. Intimacy builds every time we listen attentively to our partner, communicate painful feelings, take a risk in saying we are sorry first, or ask for what we want or need from our other. Unfortunately our best intentions are often meant with resistance.
When dealing with difficult situations it is important to:
Take ownership of your actions and feelings
Let go of historical happenings and focus on the situation at hand
Remain free of judgment
Try to stay calm and avoid overreacting
Openly share information
Be patient
Try to remember the fun/good times
Be ready to compromise
No matter what it is important that you
talk together
listen to each other
resolve conflict (compromise)
forgive each other
respect each other
have fun Read more:Tough
