1. If it has been a month or perhaps for some a decade or more since you told your spouse why you love them, surprise them with a compliment! Simple but very powerful!

2. Leave a little love note in your loved one's briefcase, purse or lunch.

3. Guys, put the toilet seat down.

4. Give your spouse a 15-minute scalp massage.

5. Offer to do a chore that he or she normally does.

6. Blow your loved one a kiss, or give him or her a wink, as you're walking out the door.

7. Say "I love you" when they LEAST expect it.

8. Request a special song for him or her on the radio.

9. Plan an evening out for just the two of you.

10. Change the toilet paper roll when it's empty.

11. If your Saturday nights have been involving sweat suits and pizza for too long, surprise him or her by taking the time to get dressed up.

12. Preserve some mystery and romance in your relationship by closing the bathroom door when appropriate.

13. Offer to warm up your partner's car when it's cold outside.
14. Treat your loved one to a professional massage.

15. Bring home some coffee and a fresh fruit plate (or whatever breakfast treats you enjoy) one morning while your partner is still sleeping.

16. Acknowledge the things your partner does for you.

17. Pick up your loved one's favorite snack food the next time you're at the grocery store.

18. Take the kids to a movie so your spouse can relax in the tub/go to a yoga class/watch a football game.

19. Create a new tradition together. This can be something as simple as taking a walk together to get coffee on Saturday mornings, ordering Thai food on Sunday nights, or taking the dog for a walk together after work.

20. Turn off the TV for a night and ask your partner about his or her day/dreams/concerns.

21. Write a list of what you love about your partner and tape it to the bathroom mirror before you leave for work.

22. If you know that something you do bothers your spouse, don't do it. For instance, if leaving your dirty clothes next to the hamper (instead of in it) annoys your mate, make an effort to put your clothes inside.

23. Stop at the video store on your way home one night and surprise your loved one with a movie that he or she has been wanting to see (even if you'd really rather not).

24. Clear the clutter out of your bedroom, garage, basement or kitchen counter -- without expecting anything in return.

25. Do something out of the ordinary. This can be something simple, like getting home early from work to have dinner together or getting up early with your mate (even when you don't have to), but it can a have big effect on your relationship.

by karenwarde @ 21 Jun. 2006 - 12:21:21 pm

All couples argue from time to time, and, in a general sense, turns out we're all arguing about the same things.

More than 70% of couples talk to their partners about money at least once a week. According to a relationship psychotherapist, the top five things that couples argue about are (and roughly in this order):

* Money

* Sex

* Work

* Children

* Housework

What's your opinion about it?? U-(

Men think in more sexual terms than women

by karenwarde @ 20 Jun. 2006 - 12:27:28 pm

In the latest issue of Psychology of Women Quarterly, researchers find that men rate themselves and the women they just interacted with higher on sexual traits, such as flirtatiousness, than women rate men.

The researchers find that after a five-minute conversation with a stranger of the opposite gender, men were more likely to interpret ambiguous or friendly behavior as indicating sexual interest. "The findings suggest that men generally think in more sexual terms than women," a researcher explain.

Within their brief conversation, partners introduced themselves and talked about college experiences. There was no significant difference in how men, compared to women, rated their conversation partners on agreeableness or extroversion. Nor was their evidence of sexual chemistry, as partners did not share a tendency to find each other attractive or desire a future interaction.

If women found their male partner as more partner physically attractive and saw him as more agreeable, they rated the partner higher on sexual traits. Men's ratings of women were also associated with physical attractiveness but unrelated to whether he saw her as agreeable or felt the conversation was enjoyable.

A Poem: by Rabindranath Tagore

by karenwarde @ 05 Jun. 2006 - 12:21:55 pm

When I give up the helm I know that the time has come for thee to take it. What there is to do will be instantly done. Vain is this struggle.

Then take away your hands and silently put up with your defeat, my heart, and think it your good fortune to sit perfectly still where you are placed.

These my lamps are blown out at every little puff of wind, and trying to light them I forget all else again and again.

But I shall be wise this time and wait in the dark, spreading my mat on the floor; and whenever it is thy pleasure, my lord, come silently and take they seat here.
