Improve your love, improve your life.
-Ways to improve your relationship-
When people fall in love, magic happens. You feel amazing. You feel like someone finally understands you. Someone finally knows the real you and accepts you. You have someone to lean on and someone to pour your heart out to. That's great and all but how do you keep that aroma in the air? Too many couples fall in love and begin their lives together, hoping it always stays interasting. Reality is, 6 out of 10 couples admit being unhappy in their relationship.
What can you do to make sure your relationship improves? It is important to do things together! Times are different, now, with all of our electronics lingering in the backs of our minds. Not to mention work, socializing, catching up with family... There is more we can do!
Put down that phone. Too many of us come home from work and turn to the electronic device that's taunting you with it's social media dings. Let it ding! Spend quality time with your love. We feel disconnected because the electronics we use to communicate don't show us how to feel. We type endless comments and criticize celebrities, yearning for a reply that agrees with us. None of that matters. Come home from work and get in the kitchen. Together! Cook dinner together, talk about your day, make plans for the weekend. Talk about something heartwarming from your past. Reminding each other of the days that your relationship was hot and steamy may just bring you right back to that place.
Don't just have sex. Make love! Our lives are busy, yes. However, that doesn't mean that a routine quickie will show your partner you still love them. From a woman's point of view; she says she is sick of quickies and wants to feel like a participant and not an object being used. Harsh, I know, but brutaly honest! From a man's point of view; he says he is not stupid. Stop your faking and tell him what you want. This is one of the biggest mistakes we make. We become used to the routine nightly, or weekly sex and forget what it's all about. Try something new with your partner. Men, throughout the day tell her how beautiful she is. Women, put your hand on his every time you pass each other. Slowly climb up to the level of small intimacy in your daily lives. Don't just pass by each other, smile, touch. Acknowledge each other. Work up to the bedtime routine every night.
It is nice to go out and socialize with friends and family. However, try and make a weekend all about the two of you. This will give your life an extra touch of alone time, intimate time. Men, surprise her with a nice dinner. You don't have to go out to make her feel happy. Any small gesture of apreciation will make her heart flourish. Women, get out of your comfort zone! Is he into sports? Turn the channel from Lifetime Movies to a sports program. Try to engage and enjoy the time spent together. Not into TV or going to a restaurant? That's alright. Go for a walk. Hold hands and admire the surroundings around you.
Being in a relationship means you have be selfless. If it isn't working, think about what your better half needs. Relationships mean you sometimes have to compromise. Make each other happy. What went wrong and where? In order to have a good quality relationship, you have to have a great quality love life together. Don't be afraid to try new things. Exlpore your sexuality together and hit new highs, as you enter a whole other realm of life. Small changes can make our lives so much more sensible. Remember why you fell in love with this person in the first place!
