Being Thankful can be the key to having a good relationships

Ever wish you and your partner felt closer? Want to relight the fire of love  and affection, morning, noon, and (especially) night? Just adopt gratitude as your attitude.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming partners who make our souls blossom.
Gratitude can work better than Viagra at boosting romance. Assuming you're in a committed relationship or even if you are not. Try this together: Each night, write down whether either of you did something thoughtful for the other during the day. You'll find both of you feel more deeply connected and happier with the relationship when either one does something nice, whether you're the giver or the receiver. Since men are mostly  considered the givers, and women the receivers. Neither  should  take it for granted, but show appreciation, and you will see those positive, loving feelings  just kick in for a moment at least. They last from a day to as long as a month! This isn't just my BAD opinion; it's solid science.

Showing gratitude not only will make your partner want to please you (you can  imagine how) but can make you relationship  better. Openly grateful people are seen as more generous and helpful by friends and family. Who wouldn't like that? Learn how to write your way to happiness. Send a note like  "just because, you make me feel special, Thank you"

Beyond supercharging your love life, feeling thankful can also boost your health. Turns out that if you keep a gratitude journal, you're also likely to exercise more, and feel more optimistic about life than if you ramble on about things that drive you crazy or don't matter much. Even better, 15 minutes of daily gratitude can dramatically decrease stress hormones in your body. It's a great way to make you look younger.

I'm  grateful you've read this blog thus far. "thank you." Try  letting your loved ones know what makes you grateful about them. I think you will feel GREAT, and they will appreciate knowing it.

Ladies. Given a choice between flowers and chocolates, which would you pick. ?  Roses fade fast. A box of truffles can disappear overnight (and show up on your hips almost as quickly). How about this instead: Indulge your sweetie, yourself, or your favorite chocoholic with one of these chocolate-enriched, zero-calorie treats. They're original, irresistible, and long-lasting enough to make the next few Days memorable. I did a little research just for grins. read the following:

Just don't let your sweetheart eat them. Drop one into a hot bath and watch the creamy "candy" melt into a delicious aromatherapy treat for mind and body.

5. Luscious Times Three -- This three-pack may be the perfect Valentine for members of the never-enough club.

(Our flavor fave: Dark Chocolate. It smells so good, you won't want to rinse.)

Okay, I know smelling is not the same as chewing, and sometimes there's just no substitute for the real thing. There's also no substitute in Candyland for the flavonols found in rich dark chocolate -- the kind where the label reads at least 70% cocoa. Getting 31 milligrams of flavonols a day can make your look  3.2 years younger. I'll settle for the 0.2 years younger. I don't need to look like I'm in my twenties anymore.
