Sure, it’s easy to keep the romance alive in a relationship while there are just the two of you alone and everything’s new and exciting. But what about a year or two down the road?

Sometimes with all the rush of our busy everyday lives, we forget to stop and really take time for what’s important. I’m thinking about this because of a comment my husband made this evening. He asked if I still loved him today as much as I did yesterday, because I’m not acting as loving now as I was then. I answered that the reason for that is because yesterday I was in a relaxed mood without any work or stress on my mind. When I have fewer worries or distractions hanging over my head I naturally tend to be in a more attentive mood toward my loved ones. Should it be this way?

Probably one of the greatest causes of unhappiness in any relationship is the anger and the fighting. Sometimes it can seem like you’re living in a constant state of war. Maybe you’re the nagger or maybe you’re the one doing the nagging. Maybe you’re the one who has to keep on pick, pick, picking, until your partner can’t take it anymore and finally blows up. For most people, let’s face it, we know where to find our loved one’s on/off anger switch. Even the most mild-mannered of people have their touchy areas, their certain issues that we know not to bring up around them.

There’s a reason why the storybooks and cartoons don’t ever show what comes on the other side of the “happily ever after” in a relationship. Ten years down the road, with mortgage bills, broken-down cars, and screaming tots, ever after begins to look a lot less happy. And it certainly doesn’t look romantic. Younger couples who are still new in their relationships and have their whole futures still waiting down the road, look over at older couples and think, “Oh my gosh, I never want to be there!” And maybe they think that they never will be.

Sometimes the answer to keeping things running smoothly in a contented relationship can be as simple as a daily compliment. Sound silly? Well, consider this: how often do you receive a compliment about your appearance, talent, or personality? Maybe it’s once a week. If you’re lucky maybe it’s every other day. But think about how those compliments make you feel about yourself. Do they brighten your day? Make you feel more attractive, more intelligent, or maybe just more confident?

I was sitting at a fast-food table enjoying my"lunch". Nothing extraordinary about that...What was overwhelming was the stream of thoughts coming to my mind on that particular occasion. There I was, eating my order and watching the crowd moving continously to and fro. I seemed to concentrate my curiosity on those couples that were hanging out...just passing or stopping for lunch too. And I couldn't help wondering : How did they come across one another ? How long did it take for them to finally form that magical, interesting and intimate couple ?

When considering what sort of person would make your ideal partner, it is useful to consider this question: “what sort of personality, habits, or interests am I looking for in a potential romantic partner?” In the past, this has rarely even be a consideration for most people; at one time the typical man or woman simply fell into dating whomever they were most frequently around or whomever they felt a physical attraction to.

The hard thing about looking for the perfect partner is that no one is perfect.

Movies showing love at first sight or a love struck man climbing a railing with a bunch of flowers gripped in his teeth to the girl of his dreams may be great to dream about, but if you are waiting to see these things happen in real life, don’t hold your breath.

The most difficult thing is that some people can become unreasonably fussy about the type of person that they are looking for.
