Do you remember when you fell in love? Try to clearly
picture how you felt and how you acted during this time- Did
you put an extra effort into looking your best? Did you hang
on your love interest's every word? Did you do and say
little extra things just because you knew that it would make
your beloved smile? Were you acting like the very BEST
version of yourself? Now that you are in a long-term
committed relationship ask yourself how you have changed and
how you have stayed the same. Here are some things to think
about:1. When was the last time you told your partner something
that you admire about him/her?2. How carefully do you listen to your partner's account of
his/her day?3. What is one thing that you could do that would make your
partner's life easier today?4. When was the last time you dressed up specifically for
your partner- not for someone or something else?5. When was the last time you brought home a card or gift
for your partner that wasn't for an occassion?6. How often do you tell your partner how attractive he/she
is to you?7. Do you always take your partner's side when there are
disagreements with others (e.g., kids, in- laws, colleagues)
no matter what?8. When was the last time you had a romantic date (that
wasn't for a special occassion) with your partner?9. Have you recently made an effort to update your look or
improve yourself in some way?10. When was the last time that you put extra effort into
making your intimate time special- i.e., you really 'wow'-ed
him/her?These are a few things to think about... It is not always
easy to keep these things on the priority list when there
are so many demands upon our time and energy. But remember
that your relationship is a dynamic and living entity, and
without the proper care and attention, it can change and
wane, just like anything else when neglected. Give it the
attention it deserves, and if you would like some specific
suggestions, or would just like to get into the habit of
doing the little things that count, give me a call and I can
help you out! Also, please join the R & D team for an
upcoming (as yet un-named) book on how to keep your partner
happy. This is going to be a practical, results-oriented
How-To Guide.Please let us know what you want to know about your partner
&/or what you want your partner to know about how to keep
you happy. We know that it isn't always easy navigating this
territory and we want to help! Go to the PinkvsBlue Message
