Working together.

Some of you might think that working together is a wonderful idea, and some of you think that work is your separation time. Well it can be both. Recently my partner and I were offered a position to run a retirement neighborhood. The pay was really good and we would have gotten free housing, now a problem arouse that there were not enough bedrooms for our children, so we had to decline. The thought of working together was a wonderful challenge for us. The more and more I thought about it however I realized that even though we would essentially be working together we would spend most of that time apart. Doing different things and marketing would keep us busy most of the day. I feel like we would have still had lots to talk about later in the evening and would still have the coming home feeling. It is to bad this didn't work out I think that as in our relationship we would have made a great team in business. Where does your relationship stand as of work? It is okay if you need that space from you partner, however think about if you could work together with your partner and what that says about your relationship. A big question for working together is can you leave the work behind? Will you drag it into the bedroom or worse yet will it cause problems in your personal relationship. If you can keep business separate from your personal relationship there is no problem.

Mirrors can be sexy

Have you ever used mirrors to help your romantic side? Simple placement of mirrors can create a different environment. Place mirrors around you house to add effects. Place mirrors to get views of the outside when you are darker corners of your house. You can also place mirrors around to give your place the appearance of a larger space. Mirrors in the bathroom are usually a staple but for added effect place one on the opposite side so you can see your back. This will help when you need to know if your butt looks big in those jeans. Mirrors in the bedroom can add intimacy as long as they are not overdone. Mirrors on the ceiling are a little over done unless you have been in a relationship for a long time, avoid them. Place them around the room to give you a different look at your bed and to help set a more intimate vision to the beholder. A word of caution however, too many mirrors in the bedroom becomes creepy. By using the mirrors in the correct way you will help to make your place a more cheerful place, which in turn make your partner feel more cheery.

Back Off

Sometimes in a relationship it is tough to know when you need to be helpful and when you need to back off. Try and always listen to your partner they will tell you if they need space of not. Now sometime they will say they want space and not really mean it. This is where it gets tricky. You have to read the signs for example if they are mad at you and need space, give it to them. If something tragic happened in their life, they might need some space but don't get to far away. Every situation is different and so is everyone else, some people need more space then others.

Now that I think I have confused you, let me lay this on you. If you are one of those people that need space and your partner is the opposite then you have a challenge ahead of yourself. You have to find a way to get your space and be there for you partner at the same time. I didn't say it was going to be easy. You have to find that fine line in either situation and try to balance yourself on it. We don't want you to compromise your values but we don't want you to hurt someone else's feelings either. Especially if that other person is the one you love.
