10 Steps to Enjoy Each Other Better...
1.
BE REALISTIC ABOUT EACH OTHERDon't try to turn your partner into something he or she is not. Let's face it guys... there's only one Pamela Anderson in the world, and even she had her implants removed! Give your gal a break! and understand that her physical appearance is not going to change over night with the help of a few facials or treatments. And ladies, Brad Pitt is already taken so you are gonna have to do what your guy is like. Chill out! Love each other for what you are. There is no more to your partner than what meets the eye.
2.
ALWAYS TALK THINGS OUTNow guys, I know this is not your favorite past time, or mode or resolving issues... but you know what? This works with the gals. Don't make assumptions about each other's feelings. Learn to express yourself better so that your partner understands what you're angry, hurt or even happy about. When you stop talking to each other from the heart... it's the beginning of the end.
3.
DO STUFF TOGETHERMake 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 just strolling hand in hand. Watch soccer (or basketball) once in a while, though the green patch on TV puts you to sleep in 3 seconds. And guys, do give in of your gals asks for another day at window shopping, rather than suggest that she goes out with her girlfriends with that kind of activities instead. If you're spending more time with your friends than with your partner, it's a warning sign that you are drifting apart.
4.
MEET EACH OTHER HALF WAYIf he agrees to throw out that rotten t-shirt with "The Rock" print, you shouldn't kick up much of a fuss if he asks you to keep your room tidy. There's gotta be a little giving and taking in a relationship, so learn to meet halfway.
5.
SHOW YOUR LOVEBuy her flowers, or candy or perfume every now and then, even if you have been together for years. It's wonderful to continue showing that you care for him or her. Cook him a special meal, paint him a Valentine's Day Card, knit him mini socks that he can't wear (for decorative purposes only), buy him a packet of milk for breakfast, or pack his wardrobe for him...so he / she knows that you can still be romantic and loving despite having been together for a while.
6.
RESPECT EACH OTHERStop making jokes about her hair or her skin, whatver it is you love to laugh at. Ask yourself if she thinks it's 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's feelings all the time.
7.
BURY THE PASTStop bringing up the past. Don't bring up the happy things about you and your ex to your guy, it would just 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 your gal feel unhappy and she might think that you're saying this because you're going back to your ex, and your not interested in her anymore.
8.
SIT ON YOUR JEALOUSYAll of us go through spells of insecurity at the beginning of the relationship, but don't translate that insecurity to jealousy. If you're going to go through your partner's mail and cupboard, and eavesdropping on conversation... you know that something is wrong... with you! Jealousy is like a poison that slowly spreads through the relationship before finally killing it. Trust your partner... love has to have trust in it.
9.
KEEP YOUR COMMITTMENTS TO EACH OTHERIf your partner is standing you up all the time, and cancelling dates and promises, you need to talk. If you're in a relationship, make your partner your priority and don't disappoint them if you can't help it. It's really terrible when someone promises you to dinner, and then calls to cancel it. Don't make promises that you can't keep. If your partner starts to feel that he / she is not that important to you, you may just lose him or her.
10.
BE HONESTHonesty is not scowling at how awful she looks first thing in the morning, or telling him that he has a biceps of a fly! When we say " be honest", we mean expressing your feelings clearly, not being bitingly cruel. When your hurt, say so, and when you're angry, tell your partner without getting hysterical. If you can't be honest with your partner, who can you be honest with? If love is also about honesty... then a relationship where honesty doesn't exists probably isn't worth it!
