ANNIVERSARIES
Always celebrate! Whether it's the 1st
or the 50th, each year together is
a triumph.
APPRECIATION
Let each other know how much you
appreciate each other.
You may already know but hearing it
from each other is always better.
BEST FRIENDS
Be best friends preferably before
being boyfriend-girlfriend.
Take time to know each other so the
relationship will be a deep one.
Tell each other about your crushes,
dreams and problems.
Make sure he/she is your best friend
before getting engaged.
The strong bond of friendship will
help you both survive tough times.
BOND
Make it a point to spend time together
often but leave room for each other.
Also spend time alone w/ each other,
so that at the end of the day you
could both share your experiences.
This way, you stay interesting with
your partner.
CHANGING EACH OTHER
Don't marry an as...le, j.... or a
bi.... (an unsuitable person) You'll
never change each other.
COMPLIMENTS
Always compliment each other.
This will prevent feelings of
resentment & thinking that one is
being taken for granted.
DATE
Keep doings things that you both
enjoy, do them together.
Make time & continue to date to keep
the romance - look good, smell good to
maintain physical attraction
DIFFERENCES
Celebrate differences. Never force
your ideologies down each other's
throat. Give up trying to turn your
partner into you. Accept differences,
appreciate them.
FIGHTS
Fight w/the aim to resolve the issue.
Don't outdo each other.
The longer you extend the fight. The
more chances that you'll say something
hurtful that you don't really mean. As
mad as you were w/ your partner,
he/she is still the person who laughs
at your jokes & thinks you're hot.
Hear each other out, don't dig up old
issues. Choose your battles.
Make sure the fight will be worth it &
that something will change in the
relationship as a result of the fight.
FLAWS
Know that the perfect person does not
exist.
Know that just as there are things
that you love about him/her, there
will be things that will make you go
crazy. We are only human with our own
flaws.
FUN
Have fun together! This means keeping
the fun & spontaneity that was there
in the early days.
Allow yourselves to get silly - shower
together, pee w/the door open etc.
Being able to make each other laugh &
see the lighter, crazier, absurd side
is the best way to get through all the
differences in personalities,
adjustments in lifestyle & opposing
viewpoints.
GOALS
Make sure you have similar goals.
It would be difficult to keep your
bond intact if your views are complete
opposite.
GRUDGES
Quit tabulating grudges. Let it off.
Discuss it, then trash it, don't
recycle it.
KEEPING IT HOT
Keep it hot by traveling to diff.
places together.
A new setting will do wonders. Always
have skin contact - be it holding
hands, a massage or just plain leg
rubbing.
HONESTY
Don't lie or hide things. The problem
will only get bigger.
KNOW EACH OTHER
Learn each other's interest. It really
keeps the conversation flowing!
HUG
A hug can be far better more intimate
than a kiss.

contribute more to the relationship.

the boss in your life.
