Relationship Tricks That Make You Go From early Lust To Love.  Over and over Again and Again!

So we still have the same fire after all this time together lets keep going on and on

All romantic relationships take work to make it work; ask Angelina and Brad… oh wait! That's a very B.A.D. example.

While I should be the last person to laugh at another’s failed relationship. I can talk about how to improve it a bit. Both parties need to keep watering the plant of love on a daily basis; otherwise, that plant will wither and die. Your question is: “How does one maintain and improve the relationship every day?” I thought you would never ask. Read the followin

1. TURN OFF ALL PHONES (OR AT LEAST KEEP THEM ON SILENT WITH VIBRATE MODE OFF)

Imagine the setting: You somehow managed to get a reservation at the swankiest restaurant in town. You have ordered the oysters, the chateaubriand for two, the $50 bottle of wine, everything is just right. Then your date gets a phone call and they are talking bla blah blah for a while, slurping in the oysters while they talk. When they do hang up the phone, it seemingly becomes superglued to their hand and they never look up from the thing. Before you know it, the waiter asks for dessert and they ask for one to share, all the while magically spellbound by their iPhone X. Cinema (movie theater) rules should apply here, ladies and gentlemen. Not only is it rude to not pay attention to the person you are with, it is a serious mood killer.

2. GOING TO BED AT THE SAME TIME

Let's keep our heads close together
and share the same dreams.

This is intimacy in true form. Going to bed at the same time is akin to spooning or pillow talk after doing the horizontal fandango, when sleep patterns diverge, it’s harder to keep a real connection. Enough of whatever  you are doing that  you think is so important that you are unable to go to bed at the same time as your partner? Maybe it is unavoidable, like the graveyard shift at work. Maybe your favourite program is on the TV late. Maybe you are gambling your money away and you do not want your other half to find out about it. If it is avoidable, at least try to make the effort of doing this. Your partner will be grateful you did and it should be a no-brainer.

3. A SMALL GESTURE TELLING THEM YOU ARE THINKING OF THEM

It is hardly rocket science, but knowing that you are in the thoughts of your special someone makes you feel special. This is where you can get your creative juices going. You can WhatsApp them saying, “Morning sweetie. Bringing a ray of sunshine to your day. I love you.” You could even leave a card saying the same thing, this is somewhat romantic. I know this is cheesier than your favourite Scotch but how about a poem.... just because?

Roses are red

Violets are blue

You’ll never guess what?

I’m so in love with you.

Do Not LOL!

I can't believe we are above cloud #9

4. TRYING SOMETHING NEW TOGETHER

This is a surefire way to make the Bond stronger, James. No, you do not have to fight Jaws or blow up a Russian missile silo. If you have not watched Bond movies together yet, rent Quantum of Solace or Octopussy or any of the others. Another suggestion is that you could do some roleplay as 007 and Bond Girl to keep things shaken, not stirred between you two. The good thing about it is that you do not have to report back to Q later. Be careful with those gadgets. Now LOL.!

5. WITHHOLD  CRITICISM

Criticising can take the edge off that loving feeling. Before the need to start singing the song by the Righteous Brothers,(OOPS SHOWING that I'm old school) just think for a moment before uttering the words that cannot be taken back. Even if it is minor criticism, instead suggest another way of doing whatever it is your partner is doing. This can really help the relationship by your partner doing better in your eyes and you are now satisfied with the way they do it. Sing it with me “Bring back that lovin’ feelin’, Whoa, that lovin’ feelin’.” Yeah!

6. A LITTLE GRATITUDE GOES A LONG WAY

Wow sir,  you cleaned the bathroom!

“Thank you” are two key words that can boost your romantic situation. Let's try something here, “I thank you for reading this post” What Im thanking you for is the time you are taking out of your life to read this post!
                    Do I ever cross your mind?
