How to Keep Your Love Alive

The biggest challenge in any relationship is keeping a good set of checks and balances. A marriage, or any romantic relationship for that matter, depends on the smallest of details and the largest of emotions.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

• A Good Relationship
• A Loving Heart
• A Sense of Appreciation
• Patience

1. Every Kiss Should Be As Better Than the First Kiss The first thing to remember is that if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a kiss is worth a thousand lifetimes. There will be so many opportunities to kiss your partner in a day that counting them will make your head swim. Don't waste your time counting the opportunities you had to kiss. Use it taking the opportunities you can. Just be careful not to overdo it and end up coming off as obsessive.
2. A Gentle Touch Can Say More Than Any Words Don't forget that the soft touch is the universal language. You can tell your wife or partner so much by just touching them. A light touch on the neck, a tickle on the small of the back, a gentle kiss on the ear lobe can translate into so many things. It could tell your partner that you love them, are amazed by them, or that you want them. It could also just tell them that you love them.
3. Distance is key to any part of a relationship. Distance is two-fold. First is physical distance. Don't crowd your partner to where they are uncomfortable or feel the need to "scoot over". Do let them know that you want to be close to them, that your personal space is their space. This shows trust and welcome and will let them know that there is no place near you that they are unwelcome. Second is emotional space. Share this with them willingly and openly, without restraint. They will tell you what is "too far" or uncomfortable for them. This shows trust, confidence, and honor toward them. By combining the two types of space you are giving them, freely, one hundred percent of yourself.
4. The physical relationship is a key to the overall emotional one. Take time to focus on what your partner finds physically pleasing. You should already know some of their hot-buttons. Use them to get a little more attention. Ask IF your partner would like to try something new. If they say yes, then ask WHAT they would like to try. If they say no then don't press the issue. Patience is key here, as it will all come in time.
