psych-quotes:

A common relationship complaint is that the romance that you used to have is missing. Or maybe you weren’t romantic enough to start. That’s easy to change with these tips:

·         Think outside the box. Come up with creative date ideas to show that you are really thinking of them rather than always doing the same old thing.

·         Make an effort. Cook for them rather than getting takeout, for example. Going the extra mile and making a special effort to please them shows how much you really care.

·         Remember their favorite things. Take note when they mention their favorite ice cream flavor or favorite childhood movie. They’ll be touched later when you show up with it at your next date.

·         Set the scene. Don’t just invite him or her over to watch a movie. Have candles lit and cozy blankets ready to cuddle up in. Or make sure to have flowers on the table if you’re cooking for them, or their favorite music playing. Spending time on those extra details goes a long way in increasing the romance.

Sometimes breaking up is the right thing to do….and other times it’s a mistake. Here’s how to tell if you should get back together:

 

1.    You miss them. This is a pretty straightforward sign that maybe you were wrong to break up. It’s natural to miss anyone that isn’t in your life anymore, but sometimes you miss them so much that you know that you want them back.

2.    You’re both available. If neither one of you have moved on after breaking up, maybe there’s a reason why. If either of you really wanted to be with other people then why are you still single? Maybe you’re keeping yourself available in hopes that you’ll get back together.

3.    You still have positive feelings. If you don’t hate your ex or have feelings of bitterness or hurt, but instead have lots of positive memories, maybe you shouldn’t have broken up. When you think of them, if you think of only positive things then it could be a sign that there are still good things to come from your relationship.

No matter how much you like each other your relationship is doomed to fail unless you can master the art of communication. Here are the Dos and Don’ts for better communication in your relationship:

 

Do

·         Have important conversations face to face. Emails and text messages don’t work well for important conversations because you can’t hear the other person’s tone of voice. It’s easy to misinterpret what the other person is saying and take things the wrong way, turning what could have been an easy conversation into an argument.

·         Pick the right time to talk. When your partner is rushing out the door to get to work, it’s probably not the best time to try to get their attention and have a conversation. The same goes for when they are stressed or preoccupied. Let them know you want to talk and ask, “is this a good time?” You’ll be more likely to get their full attention and have a better conversation.
