Don't forget to have quite time.

We spend so much time talking and learning about each other that sometimes we forget that just being present with each other is a blessing in itself. Enjoying that quiet time with each other just laying next to your love or lightly touching each other is a wonderful way to relax and enjoy each other without having to worry about bring up something interesting or new. You can just be together and soak up each others energy without saying a word. Sometimes this is just what the doctor ordered on those days that seem a little harder that others. Try it sometime don't speak just relax and enjoy and feel your partners presence.

Strong love is give and take.

When you have strong love in your relationship. You understand the balance of give and take. You know that for every thing you take you must replace an item into your relationship. For example if you need time to yourself you need to put that time back into your relationship later by doing something special for your partner. Say for example that your partner takes the kids out to play because you are feeling stressed with the noise in the house, later you need to repay this kindness to your partner with something they would truly enjoy. Maybe it could be a back rub or an intimate evening saying thank you. This balance is important in your relationship as well as your life. Keeping this balance will keep your relationship healthy and strong for your entire lifetime.

Appreciate the fact you lover is working hard.

Sometimes we all have to put in extra time at work. Maybe you work has a busy season or you are working on beating a dead line. When we are in a relationship we need to understand and appreciate our lover for going the extra mile. Having a job to support a relationship is a wonderful way to say I care about this love we have. Putting effort into work, as long as it isn't over the top, shows commitment that you want in your relationship also. When you know these times are coming for your lover then make it easier on them by understanding and making the best of it. If you partner has to work late, stay and and wait for them to come home and meet them at the door with a kiss. If they are working from home make sure all it quiet for them to get the most out of their time. Ask for a break for the two of you to get some time together. Set a time limit on it so as not to delay the work getting done. Lastly reward you partners hard work. If they are fighting to meet a deadline, then give them incentive. Tell them when the project is done you will make mad passionate love to them, or plan a romantic weekend away. Show your partner that they are loved and you appreciate the hard work they put into your relationship and their job as well.

Making it easier to be apart.

There are times in our relationships when we have to be apart for extended periods of time. These are not easy on our relationships. It is important to express you love before you leave for this time apart. Think of it as making up in advance for lost time. You have to look at it as trying to fit part of your relationship that you are going to miss into the time frame before you leave. For example if you normally have a date night every Friday night then you need to try to slip in two date nights the week before you leave. Same goes for sex you need to put a little extra effort into your intimacy before you leave. This makes the leaving easier on the partner staying home because it shows that you are going to miss the time together, also. Then the same thing goes for when you get back, which always seems a little easier. Your relationship shouldn't have to suffer because you have to be gone. Doing it right can build your relationship stronger. Being apart allows you to have some alone time and it also can build desire as you anticipate the return home. Use the time apart as a building exercise instead of a absence.

Shopping together can be fun.

Most couples hate going shopping together. Can you see the images of one partner holding the bags while the other one tries on a hundred different outfits. Maybe its the other way around and one partner wants to go to the power tool store and spends hours looking a drills. The good thing about shopping is it can give the two of you some time out together. You usually have to have lunch out which is a good thing for the two of you to share. My suggestion for the other stuff that drives us nuts is to set time limits before you enter a store set a time limit. Mark you watches and the other person just has to bear it for that section of time. Then when the time is up you go to the other person store with the same time restraints. This way both of you get the same feelings and the same amount of time looking at what you want. Another option is to split up and then make it a game to find each other. Send clues via text messages to each other as to where you are, this can be a fun way to enjoy your shopping a little more. Lastly find some things that interest you both. Maybe a store that carries items for you home or on that carries intimate apparel that way you end on common ground. With a little work and imagination shopping can be fun for both parties.

Can driving home from vacation be romantic?

We have covered a couple of times how romantic drives can be, however this one is a little different. The drive home from vacation is usually filled with sleeping and worn out company. You desire is to get home and not to be living out of your car anymore for a while. How can we make this romantic? Well by talking about the adventures you just had. Start recounting all the things you did and the ones that you remember the most. Ask each family member what was their favorite part of vacation and what was their worst. Getting the conversation flowing will help pass the time on your boring drive home. Not to mention have you partner laughing and poking fun at the things you did while on vacation. Get your digital camera out and have the passengers check out the photos of your trip and talk about what they are seeing. Just make sure the driver keeps his/her eyes on the road.

Romance doesn't have a specific time.

When we think of romance we usually think about it being in the evening. Going out to dinner, movies, moon lit walks figure into the romance equation the most. However romance should be a all day occurrence. It should start the moment you get up. The way you greet your partner in the morning should be one that says I am glad to see you. Playful touches throughout the day are excellent ways to build romance. Kissing I feel is an overlook area that can be romantic all day. Plan romantic adventures starting in the morning. Get up and go biking together or have breakfast on the porch. These little things can make your life hit the romance jackpot. Never forget romance doesn't just happen, you get out of it what you put into it. So, don't just wait around and hope romance finds you give your partner a reason to be romantic, back.

Take a break together.

During you time together do you ever feel like it is rush rush rush? Do you feel like the two of you are together but distant because of the hurried schedules that you keep? Well I suggest taking a break. Just like a break at work make it a specific time and amount of time. Make it at noon and for a half hour. Then during that time become absorbed with each other. Focus on being a couple kiss, hug and be happy in the moment. It might take a little practice but it is well worth the effort. After all you don't have a problem when they call break at work do you. Stoping what you are doing and getting a little snack or drink. Well it shouldn't be that hard to do for your relationship either.

Is romance the last thing on your to do list.

When you plan out your day where does time for romance fall? If you are like most other people you put it at the end of the day. Think about this how many of you get everything done you want to everyday? I know that I get less done each day then I plan on at the start of the day. You know how it goes, thing take longer then you think or situations arise the pushes meetings or events back. The list of obstacles goes on and on and then never stop. Thusly most people that put romance at the end of their day, find themselves with little or not energy left for romance, love and sex. I have heard in many financial planning that you should pay yourself first when dealing with your money. Why not put our romance first or give it attention first. How you ask might we do this, not many of us can stop in the middle of the day to be romantic or sexual with our partner. We have jobs, kids, and a load of other items that would make this a little hard for the average couple. We have to set a time, after the kids are in bed, and before we get tired to let our love flow. This might seem a little crazy because most of us want to enjoy each other then fall asleep. Well with this way of approaching romance, then you have time for other things after you get romance into your relationship. Try it, and see how it works for you. Bump your romance time up in front of other things and see what happens you might just find that putting your romance first makes everything else a little better.

Love like there is no tomorrow!

The one thing I hear so often from people that have lost their spouse or partner, is this, "If I would have known I would have done this differently" Don't let this fall into chance. If you love your partner like it might be your last day together then you won't have any regrets if something happens. Sure not all the time you feel like dancing and singing but you can still treat your partner with respect, care and concern. Don't put off things, get the words "I don't feel like it" out of your vocabulary and start enjoying the love you have today. Tomorrow is never promised and it can all be taken away so quickly. Don't put yourself in a place of regret, kiss each other passionately as you leave for work, laugh at things together, worry about each other, and touch often. I don't want to be morbid on my blog but we don't get second chances very often and I would hate to think in my mind if my lover passed, why we didn't do more things together, instead I would love to remember the great memories we built together.

The penis the joystick of love

The penis is obviously the key to a man's ultimate sexual pleasure. However playing with his joystick can launch you enter several different levels of love. When you free the man from his desires for sex you give him the ability to focus on other things. Things that might just make your relationship much better then ever. Ladies if you want your relationship to flourish start with quenching his desires and see how much other time you have for the things you want in your relationship. It is common knowledge that a man spends most of his time thinking about sex not on purpose but it is his make up, so what is he going to think about once sex is no longer a question? So if you want more quality time with you male mate this is the way to get it. Next time you wish your male partner would care more about chores, dinner, or playing games with you start by satisfing his ultimate desires, by putting this first you will free up a lot of time for the things you would like to focus on. Ladies the joystick is in your hands do you want to reach a new level or be satisfied playing the same one over and over again?

Make the most of your time apart to make your time together enjoyable.

When you are in love and apart thing don't seem to go right. However, you should use this time to enjoy the things you normally did before you were in a relationship. No I don't mean go out looking for dates. I mean hang with your buddies or perform an activity or hobby that you have fun doing. By doing this you take your mind off your partner and it gives you space to breath and be an individual. This way when the two of you meet up again the electricity will create those sparks that you both love between the two of you. Relationships are tricky and finding just the right amount of time to be together is a trial and error process. Give yourself room to grow and flourish and your partner will desire you more. Just make sure you don't over due it, not having time for your relationship is just as bad as never being apart. A happy relationship has a great balance of the two. With that balance you also get to very happy people in a relationship.

Find relaxing activities to do together

With our lives so hectic and crazy sometimes we need to slow it down a bit and doing that with a partner is a great way to unwind. Find some activities that take stress out of your life. A lazy day spend fishing or laying on a blanket in the park are great ways just to be together and relax. The possibilities are endless things like reading, biking, walks and laying on the beach are great ways to spend time together without stress. To many times we just are rushing past each other on our way to work or other functions that we sometimes don't get to spend the quality time with each other. Finding these activities might not just help us unwind but it might just help us improve our relationships.

Turn off the TV to turn on your partner.

Do the two of you spend the night watching countless hours of television? Have you ever thought of all the time you waste doing this or all the commercials you happen to view during this time watching. Have you ever thought of turning off the little box sitting in your living room and trying to turn each other on. Their are so many benefits to sex and getting your blood pumping and their are no benefits to watching that much television, the only one I can think of is education and that is if you are watching a educational program and most of the ones I have seen are far from that. Break your habits today and start spending more time pressing your partners buttons instead of the ones on the remote. If you really need to acting that you see on television, then do a little role playing, if it's sports that you can't seem to live without, make your lovemaking a heart raising event. Don't let your love life pass you by as you sit and watch some brainless television show. Get naked and get busy, you will feel much better afterwards.

Get your relationship back into shape.

We all have problems keeping the extra weight off during the holidays. All the extra food and drink can really make it hard for you but as soon as the holidays are over most people begin some type of regimen to lose the extra pounds tacked on at this type of year. What about your relationship? Does it take a back seat during the holidays, because you have so much to do. I mean it is hard to call shopping and rushing around from family to family any type of date. Now is the time to put your relationship back on the front of your to do list. Take a weekend and reconnect with your partner, get a hotel room, find some exciting things to do and spend the evenings making love. Put all your effort into impressing the person you love, because even though you most likely bought them several wonderful presents how much time did you really take away from them during the Christmas experience. I know I spend time wrapping presents, shopping, and visiting family that I would have spend being with the person that makes my heart sing. So now it is the time to revisit and fall in love again.

Romantic Christmas Eve

Tonight is the night it is one of the best night for romance of the year. It is the time for you to show your partner or friend how much you care about them. Make sure during the family gatherings, parties, and tucking the children in that you make time for the two of you to have some quiet time together. Block out all of the other distractions of the upcoming day and focus on each other. Set a time, say two hours, for uninterrupted time that you can snuggle and calm each other for the upcoming arrival of Santa. Make love, drink cocoa, wrap the remaining presents but do it together and as a team. It is easy to go to bed early to get to the next day but don’t forget about on of the most important parts of the season, that being the person you love.

Wrap up a memory

The economy is hoping that you are going out and spending a bunch of money this Christmas, and yes that is the way to break out of a recession. However, a romantic thing to do for your partner is to give them something for Christmas that reminds them of a special time the two of you had together. Maybe it is a picture from you last vacation, or the baby booties of your first born child. Think back through out the year and try to remember anything monumental that happened to the two of you during that last year together. Firsts are always something to remember such as the first marathon you ran, your first house or even the first time you kissed. Now the job is to find something that you can wrap up that will take them back to that time. A picture of the event is a great way, go out a purchase a nice frame and place the picture inside it, the will immediately remember that event. Items from that event are another suggestion, say you had a child together during this year then the little beanie that they but on the baby in the hospital in a frame would be an extra special thing you could hang on your wall. You can pick up brochures from your last vacation destination, or programs from events you attended. If a special song was playing during your memory you could pick up that song for them. The important thing about wrapping up a memory is that it will get your partner thinking about the wonderful times the two of you have together.

Great Christmas Ideas - Get something you can share.

When you go and pick out a present for you lover you try to find something that they will love and use. Have you ever thought about getting something for the two of you to share? Things such as a wonderful bottle of wine, a romantic movie, or tickets to an event are ones that come to mind. It might sound a little selfish but by doing this you insure that the two of you will spend some quality time together. Put a little note in the present that makes sure that your partner is to enjoy this will you. Other items that might fit the bill of presents you can share would be sex toys, gift cards for your favorite restaurant, trips, or even items to make a scrapbook. Once you find the perfect gift to share sit back and enjoy the extra time the two of you will get to spend together using or attending this present.

Learning to share you time.

One of the hardest things to get use to in your relationships is sharing your time. When we are young and don't have many commitments we get use to using our time in the exact way we want. Once, we get into a relationship and the longer we are in the relationship we have to start sharing more and more of our time. Being a couple requires that you do spend some of your time together. Actually you should want to spend time with each other or the relationship will have some problems. The trick is trying to balance your time and their time together. When you are together you have to take turns doing things you want to and it is great if you are doing something you both enjoy. However it is inevitable that you will be together sometime where you have to wait while your partner completes a task they need to take care of. A good example of this is when you go to an event with your partner at one of their friends. Maybe a cook out or party where you don't know anyone and you have to sit around while your partner talks and chats with their friends. You want to leave, but to be caring you want to stay as long as your partner wants. To get over this type of scenario you might discuss how long you should stay before getting to the party. If you are the person that is comfortable at the event then you need to make an effort to get your partner involved in the event. Once the both of you understand the the time you share is your time together I don't think this will be as big of a problem. Just make sure to divide the time you spend together up into equal slots for both partners. As your relationship grows you might add factors in such as children that will demand more of both of your time, but if you learn to budget your time now you will be better prepared for these other things that take up your time. I believe that one of the things that drives a relationship apart faster then a lot of things it being unable to learn how to share your time.
