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.

Have a drink ready!

Have you ever had a time where you partner is having a bad day at work? Maybe they called you at lunch or texted you during the day to tell you how terrible of day they are having. We all have these days where nothing seems to go right and every time you turn around it seems to get worse. This is where being a kind and loving partner comes in. You can turn their day around as soon as the walk through the door. Have their favorite drink ready for them and give them a big kiss as the walk through the door. Encourage them to sit down and talk to you about their day, let them get it off their chest so that they can put it behind them. Maybe, just maybe you will make their night a little better and they can forget about the terrible day they have had. Within each and everyone of us there is the power to lift our lovers up. Be it with compassion and praise, or listening and understanding, we can turn the tides for them. Make them feel special the rest of the night, make sure to touch them often as touch is a soothing reminder of the love you have for them. If the time is right have induce a little sexual release from them and let them enjoy your wonderful love for them. We cannot change the past but we can make the present a different place.

Make special scents around the house.

We all know how wonderful smell can be. They can take us back to our childhood or remind us of wonderful times that we have had. Scents can take us to specific times like Christmas or vacations past. Why not put the amazing power into your romance. Go to the store and find the aisle with the scented plug devices in it and start browsing. Look for scents that might remind your lover of past experiences. Like if you have been to Hawaii or just desire to go then pick up some coconut or pineapple scents. Want to make it feel a little more like Christmas time then maybe some pine scent or sugar cookie scent will take you there. Surprise you partner and put the device in when they won't be home for a while. Upon return watch their face as the pick up the scent. You might be able to take away a little of their daily stress by taking them away with these triggers.

Vacations

A important part of anyone's life is to put some vacation time into it. Time to not worry about work and concentrate on your relationship and your family. I like to look at this time as a reboot for the love. Getting away and experiencing new and exciting things gets you back in that mind set of when you were dating, only now you are sharing all the expense. Vacations can be relaxing, where you just sit by the pool and soak up the sun. They can also be invigorating where you experience as many new things as you can. You just have to find the right combination for the two of you. If you have children involved then you have to find the common denominator that makes everyone happy. Once you do this your vacation or reboot will keep you going until the next one. The last thing you want to do is let your vacation stress you, don't come home and need another vacation. Enjoy yourself and catch up with all the people that mean the most to your.

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.

Take your Vitamins

We all understand that vitamins are good for us. However, do you realize that they are important to a vital sex life also. Keeping health is essential for you to remain sexual active but some specific vitamins help directly with your sex life.

Vitamin A - Lack of this vitamin will decrease you sex hormones

Vitamin B-1 - This vitamin helps with your energy without it fatigue sets in and we all know what fatigue does for our sex lives.

Vitamin B-3 (Niacin) - Aids in the functions of sex hormones and your stress reducing hormones. and less stress means a better chance at making love.

Vitamin C - This vitamin helps with the absorption of iron into the blood this helps the blood carry oxygen and other needed things to the organs. With a good blood flow to the organs, you won't need that Viagra.

You can get most of these vitamins through a well balanced diet, or you can pick up the specific supplements at any place that sells vitamins.

The Health Benefits of Romance

When romance is a part of your daily life, it has a calming effect that help benefit your overall health, not to mention your relationship. Health and relationships seem to go hand in hand. When things are going well in your relationship it seems to help your overall health. The reasons for this can be different in each and every relationship, but there do seem to be some similarities. For starters you eliminate some of the big stress causers in you life. Being at odds with your partner over relationship concerns can really make you physically ill. Ask someone that is having relationship problems and you will hear things like "My stomach just aches", "I have such a headache" or even "My heart is breaking" When your life is in shambles you health usually follows suit, because you are not at your best to fight off the sickness. Most people without romance in their lives tend not to work out as much or worry about what they are eating. Heck you lucky if they eat at all, when things are at their worst. When the romance fails we tend to take a lesser stance on taking care of ourselves. Keeping your romance strong can reverse all the things we have talked about earlier, because we are doing it for the relationship as well as ourselves. We want to take care of ourselves because we feel good in the relationship we are in and we don't want to lose that. Not that you can control the level of romance in your relationship but you can put your best forward. Usually if you put the work into the relationship you will get the romance out of it.

Dance the night away.

I really don't hear many people talk about dancing anymore. Back when I was just out of high school in the late 80's people would make it a point to go out dancing. Now a days I don't hear any of these younger people talk about dancing. Dancing can be very romantic no matter where it is performed. Turn on some music at home and ask you partner to dance, I don't care if it is a slow dance or just getting up to flop around the house. Don't tell your partner but it is exercise also. I remember spending all night a the local bar dancing the night away. I would get up the next morning and be soar and I was in pretty good shape. Dancing in some cultures is part of the mating ritual and some believe that it is a form of foreplay, just watch the tango and tell me it is not. On the romantic side dancing gives you a chance to get close to your partner and get their blood pumping and we all know how good that is for romance. There are so many upsides to dancing that maybe it should be more a part of our culture. Enjoy the clip at the top of this post for a eighties band Van Halen and next time you get a chance, Dance the Night Away!

Give your partner a little playfulness at an unusual time.

Do you have events that just drive you mad. Maybe a family reunion, or a fundraiser that just seem to be so tense. Well if you find yourself at one of these type of events I have a suggestion to ease the tension a little. Give your stressed out partner a little playfulness. You might be shrugging your shoulders at this moment. Now let me explain. Nothing relaxes the mood of a situation as something your partner is not suspecting. Now you have to be very tactful about this, find a quite place, and don't do this out where anyone else can see. Women as you walk by your partner grab his penis or ass, don't say a word and just keep moving past. Men the same for you grab her ass or swipe her breast, no words just the action. Then act like nothing happened. Reject any advances they might make with one word, Later.

Now what have you done? Well you have taken their mind off the stressful situation and made them think about what you have in mind later. Plus they know that you understand their frustrations and are turned on by their attempts of making the event great. Now when you get them home you have to follow through on your earlier dealings. Don't even let them say anything about it before you act. Tell them how sexy they looked during the event and how turned on you were by them in that situation. After you show your appreciation suggest some of your favorite charities or events they might want to get involved in. You just might have found someone to volunteer based on your playfulness.

Star Trek (Click here to go to the earth sky website - To find out whats going on in the heavins tonight)

Here is a quickie that will be a wonderful event between you and your partner. Find some cushions, bean bag chairs, or even a blanket, and on the next clear warm summer night head outside. Arrange whatever sitting or laying device you have brought out and position it so that you can gaze skywards without straining your neck. Also, make sure that in this position you can touch or hold your partner. Then simply relax and enjoy the greatest light show in the universe. This is a great stress reliever also as it seems to put some perspective into your life. You could even brush up a little on your astronomy or even purchase a book showing the constellations so that you and your partner can enjoy trying to point them out to each other. If you have a quiet back yard, you might even bring out a little mood music or even just a taping of a waterfall or rain. But, first and foremost relax, take your time and enjoy searching the cosmos with your love.

Not a night person? You can do the same thing during a warm summer day, but instead of stars use clouds. Point out clouds and what their shapes look like to you, and then see what your partner sees in the same cloud. It is quite interesting to see the differences in your ideas. Don't be afraid to involve your children in this too. I love to hear the perspective of a young child, and this will bring you closer as a family, which will bring you closer as a couple.
