How important is your relationship?


Do you spend time evaluating your relationship, deciding what areas need more work and if you are meeting the needs of your partner. Just like anything else in our life we sometimes lose focus on things that are important to us. You see it in the work place as you get bored with your job, and you see it in activities that you lose excitement for over time. Don't let this happen to your relationship. Sit down and think or write out what areas of your relationship need work. You can do this alone or with your partner, so that you get both sides of the relationship. When both of your work on this you actually get to see what areas your partner feels needs work, and that might be a totally different area then you thought about. When you do this it is important not to down grade your partners concerns, if they say that the two of you don't have enough dates then don't respond with "Yes we do" or "That's silly we just had a date last week" You have to realize that your partner wouldn't speak of it unless it was an issue to them. If you are not willing to work on the concerns your partner has about your relationship then you will find your relationship turning sour at some point. No matter what their issue is your need to put some effort into that area and vice versa he/she needs to put some focus into yours. With a little practice you will quickly learn to address areas of concern before they get to large to make a quick fix on them.

Sent your partner a Christmas Card.



I have seen a drastic decline in the number of Christmas Cards that we are receiving. We use to get forty or so cards each and every year but lately we are lucky to get ten and they are only from our closest family and friends. If is kind of a bummer because it was nice to get a card in the mail to break up the monotony of bills. This is your cue to take it upon yourself to set out and make getting the mail a little special for your partner. Send them a sweet little card for Christmas one that expresses how important they are to you. Make it so they can't tell it is from you when they receive it in the mail have someone else address the envelope or print in on the computer. This will make it even more special as they struggle to guess who it could be from. If you really are adventurous then go out and pick out 12 different cards and send her one each day for the twelve days of Christmas. He/She might get a little bored with getting a card everyday from you and it will take a little of they surprise out of it around the third day but once Christmas finally gets her and they have the door frame covered with cards from you, you might just get a big kiss for it under the mistletoe.
