How To Be A Better Couple 10 steps to enjoying each other better... 1. Be realistic about each other. Dont try to turn your partner into something he or she is not. Lets face it, guys-theres 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 overnight with the help of a few facials or treatments. And ladies, Brad Pitt has already been taken, so ure gonna have to do with what your guy is like! Chill out, love each other for what u 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 u know what? This works with the gals. Dont make assumptions about each others feelings. Learn to express yourself better so that your partner understands what ure angry about, or hurt about, or even happy about! When you stop talking to each other from the heart, its 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 u enjoy or are interested in. It could be as simple as watching movies together, or just strolling hand-in-hand down Orchard Road. Watch soccer with him once in a while though the green patch on TV puts u 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 youre spending more time with your friends rather than with your partner, its a warning sign that youre drifting apart!!! 4. Meet each other halfway. If he agrees to throw out that rotten T-shirt with the The_Rock print, u shouldnt kick up much of a fuss if he asks u to keep your room tidy. Theres 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 every now and then, even if u have been together for 5 years. Its wonderful to continue showing someone that u care for him or her. Cook him a special meal, paint him a Valentines Day card. Knit him mini-socks he cant wear ( like for decoration purposes => ), buy him a packet of milk for breakfast, or pack his wardrobe for him...so he knows u 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 u 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 others feelings and being sensitive to each other at all times. 7. Bury the past. Stop bringing up the past. Gals..dont bring up the happy things about you and your ex to your guy, it would just make him jealous or unhappy. And guys, dont talk about the happy times that u had with your ex or mention about her in your every other sentence as it would make your gal feel unhappy and she might think that you saying all this because you are gonna get back with your ex or not interested in her anymore. 8. Sit on your jealousy. All of us go through spells of insecurity at the beginning of the relationship, but dont translate that insecurity into jealousy. If youre gonna go through your partners mail and cupboard, and eavesdropping on conversations, you know 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 commitments to each other. If your partner is standing you up all the time and cancelling dates and breaking promises, you need to talk! If youre in a relationship, make your partner your priority and dont disappoint them if you can help it. Its really terrible when someone promises to take you to dinner, and then calls to cancel it. Dont make promises u cant keep. If your partner starts to feel that he/she is not important enough to you, you may just 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 youre hurt, say so, and when youre angry, tell him/her, w/o getting hysterical. If you cant be honest with your partner, who can you be honest with? Love is also about honesty, and a relationship where no honesty exists probably isnt worth it!
