Remember you love is not one of your buddies.

This post is for the guys. As much as you want your special person in your life to be not only your love but your best friend you have to draw some lines. You cannot expect your love to act like one of your buddies during the football game. Don't expect them to enjoy the same rituals you do with the buds. Things like flatulence and belching are not the most fun things for you partner to do in public. Yes, everyone does them but not in the form of a contest or joke to play on each other. Don't think you can chest bump your love as a touchdown is scored, your loves chest is for caressing not to knock them onto the floor. As much as you want you love to be your best friend you can't expect them to act like your friends. After all you don't want to have sex with the guys you go to the game with do you?

Friction is bad.

One thing that is important to avoid in a relationship is friction. Friction causes things to run hot in a bad way. Friction is the energy that is expelled when two forces rub against each other. That can be in an argument or in the contact between your skin. Oil up your relationship to avoid friction. Obviously oiling up your bodies when they are going to be in contact for a long time is a wonderful feeling. Sliding against each other instead of dragging against the other person skin is so much better. Lubrication is a important part of intimacy and lubrication in your everyday life is important also. Think of ways to make your life smoother. Maybe getting up early to get your shower done so you are out of the way in the morning. Starting your partners car on a cold morning or just making them a wonderful dinner are great ways to add lubrication to your relationship. When you are looking for ways to lubricate your relationship look for those things your partner enjoys and express interest in their desires and you should receive the same treatment back. That is how a well oiled relationship runs and avoids problems.

The sleep massage.

Want your partner to get the best night sleep possible? Then step up to the plate and give them the sleep massage. Basically what you are going to do is massage them to sleep. Start out by working the hard areas such as the shoulders and back. Work them hard and dig deep into those aches and pains. Once you partner starts to relax and their eyes close then start massaging with a little less pressure. Continue working the entire body. Feet, legs, arms will benefit from this churning of the muscles as you glide across them. When you start getting sighs of enjoyment from your partner reduce the pressure even more and going over all the parts you just did. Continue this pattern until you are just barely touching your partner. Let your finger tips glide across their body slowly but with very little touch. Soon they will be sleeping like a baby and you can take the satisfaction of giving them the gift of a good nights sleep.

Make Weddings a Date.

Weddings are wonderful events that just ooze with love. Take advantage of all the weddings you go to by making them more of a date. Everyone loves to see the bride as she/he emerges for the first time. There is a feeling of love by everyone at that moment in time. However the reception is the part of the wedding you can use as your date. Most often there is food and drink available as well as music and dancing. Mingling with friends and or family will can be a wonderful time. Plus at a wedding you just have to feel the love and it most likely will transfer into your feelings also. So if that euphoric feeling might hit you both hard and you remember your first date, first kiss, or your wedding day. That is a set up for a wonderful evening for the two of you. So accept each wedding invitation as a chance for the two of you to relive your firsts and make your relationship stronger.

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.

Wonderful nights of cool air.

It is getting towards that time where we live that the nights are cooling off. The temperature drops form the hot times during the day to become quite nippy in the dark hours. This is a prime time to open up the windows and enjoy the clear crispy night air. Provided you don't live in the middle of a huge city or near a lot of noise. This is a time to listen to the quite sounds of the night. Crickets chirping, the wind blowing and the owls calling are all part of the night symphony that awaits you. Not to mention the perfect snuggling weather and the smells of the night air. Combined with the fact your partner is near you and you are experiencing this together it allows for a bond to be formed. A bond that goes beyond love and beyond friendship to actually combining the two into a relationship.

A little mouth wash in the middle of the night.

One thing that can quickly turn a morning hello into a morning goodbye is bad breath. Some people get it worse than others. This dragon breath can really effect your saying hello to the person, whom you have just had a wonderful night with. There are several ways to help prevent this. First anytime you get up to go to the bathroom in the night give a quick brush of your teeth or use mouthwash before you head back to bed. You could keep some mints or mouth spray on your head board to pop in during the early morning. If none of the options are available then just spoon each other in the morning or hug each other with your faces apart. With a little thought you won't have to worry about you partner passing out from your morning breath.
