How many times is to many times to say I love you?

A debate about how many times is the perfect amount of times to say I love you during a day. Some people would say that 1 time is enough a day, while others need those words more as it gives them support and encouragement. I do believe that there is not certain answer to this equation. Everyone is different, however the trick to this is finding the balance between the two individuals. In this matter you need to find a place where it doesn't annoy one partner but is enough for the other partner. The only way to do this is through a little trail and error. Which ever person you are in the relationship you need to either add or subtract the number of times you tell your partner you love them. Continue to do this each day until your partner no longer rolls their eyes at this or in the other case stops pumping your for more. Once you find that medium then stick with it and you can put this debate to bed.

Share your feelings

Here is a little hint for you no matter where you are in your relationship. Share your feelings, it's that simple. If something bothers you then let your partner know about it. Don't just tell them about feelings about your relationship, use this outlet to express your feelings about all factors in your life. Work, children, education, no matter what the area let your feelings be known, even if you agree with the topic let it out. This is a great practice to get into as it opens up the lines of communication. Once you are in flow of this you won't even hesitate to share your feelings as they happen, and if you don't let your feelings fester then you might see an improvement in not only your relationship but your life in general.

When is the last time you really checked to see how much your partner does for you!

As in most relationships, we tend to expect the normal routine from our partner. If they do the laundry we expect that they will do it all the time, if they make dinner we are at the table with silverware in hand ready to eat. The only time we acknowledge our partner in this regard is when they don't help out in the normal way. Then our reaction is usually one of anger accompanied by yelling or unkind words. Are you one of those people that expect your partner to do things, how often do you thank them for the things they do to help out your relationship or family. I am sure that most of us can do a better job in the appreciation category. There are many ways to thank your mate for the things they do and they can be very simple. Things like do you wait on them to sit down before you start eating dinner, or saying, "Wow, the house looks great you must have spend hours cleaning it", or you can even just kiss them and say that is for the clean socks honey. Mix it up a little and go over the top from time to time to show them that you really do appreciate it. Do things like while eating a wonderful dinner they made slip them a note that says "This dinner is so good, I think I will make hot passionate love to you later tonight as a tip" or maybe after doing gardening or yard work you can get them in a shower and wash their hair for them. Showing appreciation is a lot form of art in relationships today and it is up to us to help bring it back to the forefront. Next time your partner takes care of the kids so you can nap, offer to give them a massage later in return, or if they have to miss work to take care of your sick child tell them to call up some friends and have a lunch date this weekend. Relationships are about helping each other out, not helping ourselves. Love is a powerful tool if used correctly, and appreciation in part of that power.

Supe Bowl - Super Romantic Dish

Two things that go hand in hand are the Super Bowl and some great food. Everyone that prepares food for a Super Bowl party has a special dish that they like to make. Today is the day to show off your skills to your sweetheart. Don't just pick an easy dish to make, like nachos or hot dogs. Pick something out of the ordinary, today for instance I am making my special Stromboli with pie crusts and filled with sausage, sauce and cheese. This will most certainly impress your partner and show them that you have many talents besides being a great partner. One thing you want to make sure of is that you plan out your meal so that you won't be cooking during the game.

Today is also the day that the most junk is ate, so break that tradition and find healthy alternatives to snack and eat on. Remember the Super Bowl is like Christmas it only comes around once a year. Make the most of it and make it a event to remember.

What ice cream flavor are you?

I use to think that when you determined what type of ice cream you liked you had 2 choices, chocolate and vanilla. Just like a relationship that is wrong there are so many other choices and flavors to choose from. What flavor does your partner like, forget the boring plain ice creams of the past start finding ones from today. Ben and Jerry's has a unlimited supply of flavors with cool names that can be a special treat for your partner and you. Some of them include Cherry Garcia, Dublin Mudslide, Boston Creme Pie, Fossil Fuel, and my favorite Chunky Monkey. The nice thing about Ben and Jerry's is that they come in a small container because they are loaded with calories and are a little expensive also. However, the taste is worth it. You can find click her to find Ben and Jerry's web site. Then go out and find the flavor that is just right for both of you, then the next time your partner needs a little pick me up or somethings special the two of you can split a little cup of joy.

Valentine's Day Gift Idea - Gift Certificate to Adult Toy Store

Valentine's Day is a great time to branch out and find new ways to show your love for each other. This gift adds a sexual feel to your gift and also gives you a little insight into what your partner might be curious about. Think about it, one of the hardest things to do is to bring up something new to try in your bedroom. You are afraid you will be rejected or worse feel like your a pervert. The way you can do this for Valentine's Day is to purchase your love a gift certificate for an online sex toy store. Then all you do is give your partner the store's catalog and the gift certificate and let them pick out their items in privacy if they like or with you if they are more outgoing. The only stipulation is that the package has to be sent to you. This way when you get the box and open it up, you see what they are wanting to try and they don't have to come out and tell you. Believe me when I tell you that the person who picks out the items will be so excited waiting for the package to arrive that they will almost jump into your arms when you approach them with the item or items. If you get something out of your comfort zone then you need to sit down and talk about the item never just say no to your partner but find a way to accommodate both your passions.
