TEN KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS
1. Quality time: Without quality time, your relationship will not
survive. Carve out at least half an hour a night,
and at least one day a month when two of you spend time exclusively together.
2. Security and comfort: You will both need security, comfort. A good
relationship is built on compromise and a great
deal of give and take on both sides.
3. Keep your dependence and independence in
balance. Tell and show your partner how much you need him/her, but don't cling, as that can make your partner feel trapped.
4. Encourage him/her to listen to you, by showing
appreciation when he/she does. By the same token,
show interest when he/she talks to you. Women be
aware that most men aren't mentally programmed
for conversation in the way women are. They
need more silence and internal time.
5. Make him appreciate you: Don't wait for a spontaneous
compliment, but say something good about
yourself and ask for his agreement.
6. Teach him, preferably early in your
relationship, exactly how to give you a fail-safe
orgasm because it's unlikely he'll find out alone.
If you don't yet know yourself, find out.
7. Learn to do the one thing that is most likely
to restore good feeling in your relationship -
giving your partner a genuine, loving and approving smile.
8. Often those subtle quirks that first attracted
you to your partner can, with time, turn around
and become toe-curling annoying habits. Learn to love him, warts and all.
9. Hidden resentments poison a relationship; so
if something bothers you, say it. Remember that
while men are wary of emotional conversations,
they love to find solutions. Express your problem
and then ask him to help you find the answer.
10. Learn that punishing your partner won't
work. It may make you feel better to give him a
hard time, but it will actually make him dig his
heels in more. A better tactic is to reward the
things you like and ignore what you don't like.
