Relationship Tips

Love Couple
Love Couple
1. Couples need to set up a clear boundary around their relationship—this boundary involves saying “no” to the influences that can undermine your relationship.
2. Healthy marriages/relationships require balance between having shared couple-experiences that will feed the relationship while at the same time nurturing their individual interests and pursuits.
3. Without a clear expression of commitment to the relationship, trust and emotional security will suffer. A strong relationship foundation is built on mutual commitment.
4. Direct, clear communication should always be a top priority.
5. Being attuned to your needs, wants and desires is the first step in getting them met—when you’re unclear about your own needs, how can your spouse/partner ever meet them?
6. Not everything needs to be discussed, analyzed and “processed” between partners. Letting go, giving your partner the benefit of the doubt, and practicing forgiveness will go a long way in creating a fulfilling relationship.
7. Words have the power to build empathic bridges between partners, and words also have the power to hurt and create a wasteland of distance between you. Choose your words wisely.
8. Important issues that are repeatedly ignored, minimized or go underground will resurface with a vengeance. A healthy relationship requires facing uncomfortable issues from time to time.
9. Like a wildfire, emotional wounding and defensiveness can spiral out of control and quickly consume a relationship.  Couples need to be mindful of the negative cycles that arise in their relationship.
10. Deliberately creating positive experiences and interactions between the two of you (while facing the uncomfortable issues that need to be addressed) should be an ongoing priority.
11. Emotional intimacy and closeness are built upon both partners being consistent, emotionally available and responsive to one another.
12. Expecting to get all (or even most) of your needs met whenever you want is like expecting the weather to change based upon your whims and preferences.  Unrealistic expectations lead to unhappy marriages/relationships.
13. For some, emotional closeness is a prerequisite for sexual intimacy; for others, sexual intimacy leads to emotional intimacy.
14. Passion and fulfilling sex often needs to be talked about, planned and negotiated (a lack of sexual spontaneity isn’t necessarily a sign of marital/relationship problems).
15. What makes you feel loved and emotionally connected may be very different from what makes your partner feel loved and emotionally close. Communicating and understanding these differences can go a long way in improving your relationship.
16. Certain differences between your and your partner’s communication styles and emotional expressiveness need to be accepted. You can’t make an introvert outgoing, and likewise, don’t expect an extrovert to happily sit home every evening.
17. Friendships are built on joint activities and common interests. In addition to being lovers, couples need to learn to be friends.
18. Couples who actively practice gratitude and appreciation feel a deep sense of connection with one another. It’s too easy to simply focus on what bothers you about your mate while ignoring why you fell in love with him/her in the first place.

How to Tell a Guy Friend That You Like Him Without Losing His Friendship! Read more: http://www.articlesbase.com/dating-articles/how-to-tell-a-guy-fr

Romantic couple
Be in control of your emotions:
If you seriously love a guy then you must ensure that you don't complicate things for him. If he already has a girlfriend or wife then it is recommended that you keep your feelings to yourself, till you feel the time is right to let him know.

Don't scare him by being too candid:
You know your guy friend well. If he is a shy natured guy then you will scare him by being too candid about your feelings. Your declaration should be according to the type of person your guy friend is.

Ask his friends:
It is a good idea to ask his friends what he thinks about you before you go ahead and tell him. You can also ask his friends if he likes some other girl in the class. This will help you find out whether or not he is interested in you.

Drop some clues and see how he reacts:
You don't need to go straight and drop a bomb on him. Give out hints that you really like him. Buy him a lunch, give him a ride or invite him to a wedding with you. Try to spend as much time you can with him. This will help you stay closer to him and this will let the attraction grow between you.

Be his support when he needs it:
Let him know that you are always there for him. If he gets fired from a job, take him out to cheer him up. If his girlfriend dumps him, be sympathetic. If you are caring, he will inevitably take notice of it and know that you like him.

Keep your friendship first:
When letting him know how much you like him, ensure that you don't spoil the relationship. Always keep your friendship before everything else and tell him that even if he is not interested, it should not affect the present equation you share.

Give him some time to respond:
When you tell you guy friend how you feel, do it tactfully. Don't pressurize him for an answer straightaway. Some guys act stupidly at such situations. Let him take his own time and respond slowly.

Relationship Needs - Tips For Meeting Those Needs

How do you spice up a drab and boring relationship? The first thing I can tell you is the two of you need to have a serious talk. Set up a time when you will both be home and have no other obligations. Give each other undivided attention with no distractions so you can work this out. If you have kids, send them over to grandma and grandpa's house for the night.

Have paper and pen handy, start out by listing what is good about your relationship and what is bad or needs work. Make this list as complete as possible. Beside each item on the list under the heading 'needs work', come up with ways to make each one better or go away if necessary. Be creative with your ideas, if you both end up laughing during this session so much the better.

Vow to make a commitment to each other that you will both strive to make things better. Start working together on your relationship needs and soon you will be happier than you have been in a long time.

Start doing little things for each other. When was the last time you bought him a card for no reason? Or you told her she was the best thing that has ever happened to you? Were you really just going to let this relationship die without fighting for it? That would have been such a shame. If the love is still there, there is hope for the two of you to salvage your relationship.

Make yourselves a date night and stick to it every week. Pick a favorite place to go or choose a different place each time, it doesn't matter as long as you talk and keep the relationship fresh and exciting. A nice dinner and a movie or maybe a show at a dinner theater. Heck, even a local hockey game or high school football game would be fun. Any way to just spend some quality time together.

In addition to these suggestions, it wouldn't hurt to go see someone knowledgeable in helping couples stay together or putting their relationship back together if it has crumbled. I believe there is always hope when love is involved. If there are issues that the two of you cannot work out this is the best option to make things better. A good counselor will work with you to come up with a compromise that is acceptable for both of you.

You Made My Life Complete

http://media.picfor.me/001103025/Sensual-Couple-By-ELENOUA-sexy-hot-Love-Couple-sensual-hugs-kisses-By-ELENOUA-erotic-PARY-Sensual-pics-Couples-Love-Fav-seductive-Art-Of-Seduction-passion-Poljubac-amor-romance-lovers-tags-popi-Paare-mmmm-Romantisme-Amoureux-winter-fotos-calientes-romantic_large.jpg

We have been together for 11 years and there are lots of things that we share together. I think this is the reason why we are really close. It is as if we are connected. Sometimes I can tell if he's not feeling well and vice versa. There are even times where we will just say the same word at the same time or think the same things. We will just look at each other and smile and we already know what we mean. It was really weird sometimes because the more we spend time together the more we become emotionally and mentally attached. I do not know if that is really possible or there is a medical explanation for such thing but I guess one thing is for sure, that I have experienced it already.

We will soon tie the knot and we have already arranged preparations in the church. I am imagining myself walking down the aisle and I know that I will really cry. This is what I have been waiting for a long time. I just want a simple and solemn wedding that's why we will just invite few guests. I bought adorable personalized gifts so that I will no longer worry about our groomsmen gifts and bridesmaid gifts that will fit my wedding theme. I am already making few alterations in the wedding invitation and next week I want everything to be ready for my future groom's approval.

I am so happy that finally I will have my own happily ever after. I just want to make him feel that he really completed my life.

Your Boyfriend Isn't Commitment Ready! How Long Are You Really Willing to Wait?

Sexy Couple

Hot Couple

He tells you that although he's crazy in love with you he just can't take that next step. You understand. How could you not since you love him so much, right? Months pass and you bring up the idea of a more serious relationship again. Still he claims he's not commitment ready and you begin to wonder what exactly he means by that. This all sounds eerily familiar, doesn't it? It's the script of your life at the moment. As all of your friends focus on planning their weddings or moving forward in their marriage, you're still stuck being a girlfriend. Are you really willing to wait forever for him to commit to you?

When your guy tells you he's not ready for a commitment, you want to believe there's a valid reason behind it. There are a few standard reasons why men fear serious relationships. Things like being fearful of divorce, worrying about finances and not feeling certain about having children are all typical. However, if a couple has been together for some time and they are living essentially as though they are committed partners, the actual commitment should be just a formality. That's why you need to really take stock of your relationship.

What many women don't want to face when their boyfriend won't commit is that his reluctance may be related to his feelings. A good majority of men who say they aren't commitment ready just aren't sure they've found the ideal woman for them. It's tough to hear that. You likely feel as though you two are well suited, maybe even soul mates. To know that he has serious reservations about marrying you because he's unsure, stings and it's very confusing.

You have to determine whether or not you're willing to wait until he comes to a decision regarding marrying you. It's vitally important that you realize that you also have a say in this. If you want very much to be in a committed, stable, mutually satisfying relationship, you need to make a tough decision. Your happiness and fulfillment has to come first so if you believe you're in a relationship that may never give you what you need, consider what your next step needs to be. Even though you love him dearly, if he can't ever give you what you want, you may need to reconsider whether he really is the perfect guy for you.

3 Tips to Be a Good Kisser

kiss

hot couple kiss
  1. Be hygienic - Consider your breath when you attempt to be a good kisser. Nobody would want to kiss someone who has a very unpleasant breath. You should know how to be hygienic. In order to become a good kisser, you need to make an appealing and an alluring target. It is very inviting to kiss someone with bright teeth. Fresh breath is always a must. If you have dry and cracked lips, it will not surely make you a good one. Be a complete turn on for anyone. As much as possible, you should try to avoid smoking. It will definitely give you an unpleasant breath.
  2. Start a kiss softly - It is always best recommended that you start out a kiss softly and not harshly. Some women may not like aggressive kissers. Do not physically push too hard. Kiss your partner softly by not pushing it too hard on his or her lips. Do not put on so much force at first. There is a great tendency that your partner may feel more uncomfortable with it. They may fear you and may not be looking forward on kissing you again. A good kisser needs to be dramatic. Start it is softly and slowly, then gradually give more effort and force on your kissing. With this kind of approach, your partner will be looking forward on your next kiss.
  3. Consider the use of your hands - To be a good kisser, try considering the use of hands. It is very impossible to kiss well without using your hands. You should know how to do it with your hands. Make it better by knowing not to be sexually aggressive. Do not assume that if someone accepts a kiss from you, you are already permitted to touch her or him anywhere. Try to be safe by touching or holding his or her head or your partner's face. This often implies respect and considers you as a good kisser.

Guys Don't Like It

http://a323.yahoofs.com/phugc/AhgSMbUqLEW9/photos/4ad5d70728778e9be211ad98079639b9/mr_eaa4bae632d77b.jpg?ug_____DNF5Czive

Guys Don't Like It

http://www.just-whatever.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/jbs-underwear-5-575x460.jpg

Guy's don't like it when a woman nags him. They don't like to hear about the wardrobe choices you don't like because they don't care. He hates to be nagged and even asking him to do things nicely gets annoying when it's consistent. Eventually, most of us grow tired of hearing our partners sound like our parents and guys don't like it when his girlfriend sounds like his mother.

Guys also don't like it when women put pressure on him to do this and that, make more romantic gestures, take her somewhere special, and rush the relationship to be love. Women rush into dating to be called a girlfriend, then fiancée, then wife and mother so quickly because it's the idea that fairytales exist but guys are more rational and think things through before they make those major decisions.

Maybe it's not on purpose, but women bring up ex-boyfriends, gossip, fashion, periods, and men don't want to hear any of it, ever. Your man does not want to hear you planning your dream wedding until you've had that conversation of the future and how many kids to have or the names you like. His needs need to be taken into account and respected that he isn't ready for all of this yet. Guys don't like it when they feel invisible and mute.
