How To Be A Better Couple
10 steps to enjoying each other better...
1. Be realistic about each other.
Don't try to turn your partner into something he or she
is not. Let's face it, guys-there's only 1 Pamela Anderson in the world,
and even she has had her implants removed! Give your gal a break and
understand that her physical appearance is NOT going to change overnite with the
help of a few facials or treatments. And ladies, Brad Pitt has already been
taken, so you're gonna have to do with what your guy is like! Chill out, love
each other for what you are. There is more to your partner than what meets the
eye.
2. Always talk things out.
Now guys, I know this is not your fave pastime or mode
of resolving issues,
but you know what? This works with the gals. Don't make
assumptions about
each other's feelings. Learn to xpress yourself better
so that your partner
undrstands what you're angry about, or hurt about, or
even happy about! When
u stop talking to each other from the heart, it's the
beginning of the end.
3. Do stuff together.
Make an effort to do things together. Do some sports
or involve yourselves in
some shared activities; something both of you enjoy or
are interested in. It
could be as simple as watching movies together, or jus
strolling
hand-in-hand down Orchard Road. Watch soccor with him
once in a while
though the green patch on TV puts you to sleep in 3
seconds. And guys, do
give in if your gal asks for another day at
window-shopping, rather than
suggest that she go out with her girlfriends for "that
sort of activities"
instead. If you're spending more time with your friends
rather than with your
partner, it's a warning sign that you're drifting
apart!!!
4. Meet each other halfway.
If he agrees to throw out that rotten T-shirt with the
"The_Rock" print, you
shouldn't kick youp much of a fuss if he asks you to keep
ur room tidy. There's
gotta be a little giving and taking in a relationship,
so learn to meet
each other halfway.
5.Show your love
Buy her flowers or candy or perfume everynow and then,
even if you have been
together for 5years. It's wonderful to continue
showing someone that you care
for him or her. Cook him a special meal, paint him a
Valentine's Day card.
Knit him mini-socks he can't wear ( like for
decoration purposes =), buy
her a packet of milk for breakfast, or pack his
wardrobe for him...so he
knows you can still be romantic and loving despite
having been together for
quite a while.
6. Respect each other.
Stop making jokes about her hair or skin, or whatever
it is you love to laugh
at. Ask yourself if she thinks if its funny. And if he
has an inferiority
complex about his height, stop ogling at tall guys and
make him feel worse!
Love is about respecting each other's feelings and
being sensitive to each
other at all times.
7. Bury the past.
Stop bringing youp the past. Gals..don't bring youp the
happy things about you
and your ex to your guy, it would jus make him jealous or
unhappy. And guys,
don't talk about the happy times that you had with your ex
or mention about her
in your every other sentence as it would make your gal
feel youn-happy and she
might think that you saying all this b'cos you are gonna
get back with your ex or
not interested in her anymore.
8. Sit on your jealousy.
All of yous go thru' spells of insecurity at the
beginning of the
relationship, but don't translate that insecurity into
jealousy. If you're
gonna go through your partner's mail and cupboard, and
eavesdropping on
conversations, you know something is wrong - with you!!!
Jealousy is like a
poison that slowly spreads thru' the relationship
before finally killing
it. Trust your partner; love has to have trust in it.
9. Keep your commitments to each other.
If your partner is standing you youp all the time and
cancelling dates and
breaking promises, you need to talk! If you're in a
relationship, make your
partner your priority and don't disappoint them if you can
help it. It's really
terrible when someone promises to take you to dinner,
and then calls to
cancel it. Don't make promises you can't keep. If your
partner starts to feel
that he/she is not important enough to you, you may jus
lose him/her.
10. Be honest.
Honesty is not scowling at how awful she looks first
thing in the morning,
or telling him that he has the biceps of a fly~! When
we say "be honest",
we mean expressing your feelings clearly, not being
bitingly cruel. When you're
hurt, say so, and when you're angry, tell him/her, w/o
getting hysterical. If
u can't be honest with your partner, who can you be honest
with? ae Love is also
about honesty, and a relationship where no honesty
exists probably isn't
worth it!
