Tape the song, &quot;I Have Confidence&quot; onto a tape and add your&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;own message at the end of the song saying,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&quot;Good Luck honey, I have confidence in you.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Give the tape to your partner to play on the way to work in the car.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Place the massage oil in the box and write&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;the following message on the card:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;I know a great Masseur.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;For an appointment ring:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;(Your Phone Number)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Gently towel her dry and tuck her into a freshly&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;made bed with a kiss on the forehead.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;IDEA # 18&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;For this idea you will need a portable CD player. If you and your partner have&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;a favorite song, get a copy of it on CD and take it with you when you go away&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;for a romantic weekend.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;When you are in a romantic spot, ask your partner if she would like to dance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Place one earpiece in her ear and one in your own and enjoy your private&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;dance floor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;This technique is particularly effective if the romantic spot you have chosen is&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;somewhere where people would not normally dance, for example, the top of&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;the Empire State building at sunset or on top of a mountain during a camping&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;trip&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;IDEA # 19&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;If your partner has a pet that she adores, at Christmas, in addition to buying a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;gift for your partner, buy a small present for her pet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;IDEA # 20&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Go for a walk on the beach. Trace out the shape of a large love heart in the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;sand. Sit inside the heart and cuddle your partner as you watch the sun go&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;down.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;IDEA # 21&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Invite your partner to go for a walk. Get a back pack and pack the following&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;items: A picnic blanket, a selection of fruit in small containers eg.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;strawberries, grapes, watermelon and kiwi fruit. Some cheese and crackers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Some sandwiches. A small tin of caviar. A half bottle of champagne and two&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;plastic champagne glasses. If your partner asks what&#39;s in the backpack, just&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;say a jacket and some lunch.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;When you find a romantic spot, ask if she would like to stop for a bite to eat.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Open your pack and remove the items one by one to set up your picnic. The&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;last item you remove should be the glasses and champagne.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;IDEA # 22&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;If you play a musical instrument, create a romantic environment in which to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;play for your partner. For example, let&#39;s say you play the saxophone. Contact&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;your partner&#39;s roommate and arrange for her to make sure that your partner&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;steps out onto the balcony of their apartment at exactly 9.30pm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Drive to her apartment and set up before hand. Place a large sparkler in the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;music holder of your sax and light it as your partner steps on to the balcony.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Play something slow and romantic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;IDEA # 23&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Use this idea if your partner is going to work and you are staying at home for&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;some reason (Perhaps you are sick or are working from home).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Say goodbye to her at the front door and then immediately send an email to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;her work address. The email should simply say,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&quot;Miss you already&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;The email will be in her in-box when she does her morning email check.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;IDEA # 24&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;If your partner has long hair, take the time to brush it using long slow strokes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;This is particularly effective after she has had a shower or when she is getting&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;ready for bed&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;That`s enough this time .

When your partner is surfing the web, casually ask&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;whether she has ever checked to see whether her domain name is taken. Let&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;her type it in to discover her page.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;IDEA # 6&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Take a book that your partner is reading and using a pencil, underline letters&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;in a section of the book she has yet to read to spell out a love letter. For&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;example in the following exert from a novel, the underlined letters come&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;together to spell out the secret message &quot;I love you&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;The palace was a labyrinth, their passage through it tortuous and&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;interminable. Initially they passed from building to building under the sodden&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;sky. Steve&#39;s feet ached; he might have laughed at himself, the tireless&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;traveler, grown too soft from his months in the city to walk any proper&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;distance. Abruptly the guards halted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;The underlined letters will make your partner curious and with a bit of luck she&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;will write them down. Spend time to encode a proper message such as &quot;Dear&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Belinda, I love you honey&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;IDEA # 7&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Have flowers delivered to your partner&#39;s workplace. She will not only enjoy&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;the flowers but will also receive comments and attention from her office mates&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;which will add to her enjoyment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;IDEA # 9&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Drive into the country, find a grassy hill and lie with your partner and look up&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;at the clouds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Play the kid’s game of looking for shapes in the cloud formations.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;IDEA # 10&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Get a piece of paper and some crayons. Draw a bright childlike picture with a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;smiley sun and two stick figures holding hands. Add labels with your two&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;names pointing to the stick figures. Write &quot;I Love You&quot; inside a heart.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Next get a large formal envelope. Place your drawing inside and type up a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;formal address label of your partner&#39;s work such as:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;For the immediate and urgent attention of:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Rebecca Jones&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Level 20&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Collins &amp;amp; Smith Solicitors&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;New York&lt;/div&gt;Mail it to your partner so she receives it in the middle of a busy day&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;When you hear about couples who maintain a strong relationship&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;through all of life’s challenges, you may wonder how they do it. Some&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;of these couples have faced the same kinds of difficulties that can lead&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;to break-ups for other people, such as financial problems, trouble with&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;in-laws, or differences in interests or personalities. But somehow,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;these couples have stayed together while others haven’t.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;For a long time marriage counselors and others thought that couples&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;had the best chance of staying together if they had similar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;backgrounds and interests. But recently, experts have developed a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;different view. Many people now believe that common backgrounds&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;and interests may be less important than other factors, such as&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;differences in values, how couples handle disagreements, or how&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;committed they are.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Every couple is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;good relationship. But people who’ve stayed together for a long time&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;tend to have some of the same things in common. Here are ten tips&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;based on the conclusions experts have drawn from studying successful&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;relationships:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;1. Have a strong commitment to making your relationship&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Many couples start out with a strong commitment to their relationship&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;but, after a while, begin to give it less attention. They may neglect&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;each other while focusing on their work, children, or a time-consuming&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;hobby. In strong relationships both people may have outside interests,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;but they continue to make their commitment to each other a top&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;priority.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Staying committed begins with accepting that having a good&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;relationship takes work. Problems can occur in any relationship, and&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;both people have to make compromises and adjustments. So it’s&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;important to accept some difficulties or “rough patches” as normal and&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;inevitable. Instead of trying to pretend that they don’t happen, make a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;commitment to solving your problems together.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;2. Think of yourselves as friends, not just as a couple.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Couples who stay together see themselves as good friends. They share&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;a variety of activities, enjoy each other’s company, provide support in&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;good times and bad, and they don’t take each other for granted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;3. Accept each other’s limitations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Nobody is perfect, and long-lasting couples accept this and learn to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;cherish each other despite their flaws. One of the biggest challenges&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;you may face as a couple is learning to live with many different kinds&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;of shortcomings. In the early stages of a relationship, both of you may&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;have to accept only small limitations. (One of you is messy and the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;other is neat, or one of you always wants to try new restaurants while&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;the other would like to have a home-cooked meal every night.) Over&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;time, you may have to cope with larger disappointments -- for&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;example, that one of you has never achieved a big career dream or&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;earned as much money as you’d hoped. At every stage of your&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;relationship, it’s important for both of you to know that you’ll love and&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;cherish each other even if things don’t always work out as expected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;4. See yourselves as equal partners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;In successful relationships, two people may have very different roles,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;but they see themselves as equal partners. They don’t regard one&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;person’s views or interests as more important than the other’s. Each&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;person feels that he or she is making a vital contribution to the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;relationship.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;One of the best ways to foster this kind of equality is to ask for the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;other person’s opinion frequently and show that you value it. Try to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;make joint decisions on big issues -- deciding how to save for&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;retirement or how to divide up the household responsibilities -- and&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;learn to find creative solutions or make compromises when you can’t&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;agree.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;5. Pay attention to how you communicate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;More than two-thirds of the couples who seek counseling say that their&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;problems include poor communication. It’s vital to learn how to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;communicate with your partner so that both of you are able to express&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;your needs and desires clearly. One study found that couples can stay&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;close by spending as little as twenty minutes a day simply talking to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;each other.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;The quality of your conversation also matters. Researchers have found&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;that couples who stay together are much more likely to give each&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;other praise, support, or encouragement than those who break up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Many people in long lasting relationships make a point of saying “I love&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;you” every day. Others continually show their affection in small ways.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;They may touch or hug frequently, give each other back rubs, or tuck&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;romantic notes into the other person’s lunch bag or briefcase. It&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;doesn’t really matter what you do, as long as you and your partner&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;show each other how much you care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;6. Develop a support system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;When they fall in love, many couples think they don’t need anybody&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;but each other. In the long run this usually turns out to be untrue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Maintaining a good relationship is difficult enough that most couples&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;who stay together need a lot of support along the way. This may come&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;rom their friends or family. But it can also come from groups or&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;organizations that reflect their deepest values.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Some couples develop a support system naturally. They have large&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;and close families, or they’re naturally outgoing and make friends&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;easily. If you haven’t found a support system this way, you may be&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;able to develop one by making an extra effort to reach out to others.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Sometimes you can find support by getting involved in a community&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;group such as a parents’ organization, a religious organization, or an&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;athletic team. It’s also helpful to take the first step to reach out to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;others -- for example, by organizing a block party or inviting a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;coworker who’s new to town to have dinner with you and your family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;7. Handle disagreements constructively.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Even in the strongest relationships, it isn’t usually possible -- or&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;healthy – to try to avoid all disagreements. A desire to avoid conflict&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;can lead couples to ignore problems until they become too big to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;handle. A healthy argument can help to clear the air and clarify&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;different points of view.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Since it’s impossible to avoid all arguments, it is important to deal&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;constructively with your differences. This means avoiding personal&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;attacks during arguments or discussions, which can destroy your trust&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;in each other or chip away at your feelings of being loved and valued.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;No matter how upset you feel, try to focus on the issues involved in a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;disagreement, not on who’s “right” or “wrong.” If you’re unhappy that&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;your spouse doesn’t pay the bills on time, don’t accuse him or her of&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;being lazy or neglectful. Instead you might say, “I’m concerned about&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;how late we’re paying our bills. This could affect our ability to buy a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;house someday.” Or, “I’ve noticed that we’ve had a lot of late charges&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;on our bills. Do we need to work out a better system for making sure&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;these get paid on time?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;8. Make sure each of you has some privacy and independence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;In the early stages of a romance couples may want to do almost&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;everything together. But over time, most couples realize that each&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;person needs room to grow and develop, not just as part of a couple,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;but as an individual.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;In practical terms, this means that each member of the couple needs&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;time alone or with friends away from the other. Allowing each other&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;some independence is a way of giving your relationship room to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;“breathe” and showing that you respect another’s unique needs and&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;interests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;9. Share rituals and traditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Almost every successful relationship involves some cherished rituals&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;and traditions that help to bind a couple together. Some couples share&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;daily rituals, such as eating dinner together or talking before bedtime,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;even if one person is traveling and the conversation takes place by&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;phone. Others enjoy weekly rituals such as going to religious services&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;or to a favorite restaurant every Friday night. Still others have annual&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;traditions such as holding a Fourth of July barbecue or attending a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;special holiday concert.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;These activities help couples to define their values and can become a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;kind of emotional glue that holds them together. The specific rituals&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;you choose aren’t as important as whether yours have a meaning and&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;importance for you and your partner. You might want to adapt the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;favorite traditions of both of your families, create some new ones, or&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;use a combination of both.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: red;&quot;&gt;10. Have fun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;No matter how hard they work, couples who stay together usually&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;make time for fun. Some set aside one night a week for a “date” with&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;each other even if you just go out for pizza or for a moonlit walk. What&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;you do isn’t important, what’s important is that you spend time&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;together having fun.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;In order to keep having fun as a couple, you’ll need to keep reevaluating&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;your definition of “fun.” If you aren’t enjoying your life&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;together as much as you used to, you may want to take up a new&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;interest or activity that the two of you can share, such as a hobby, a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;sport, or a volunteer project. You don’t have to have the same&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;interests, but try to find at least one thing that you can enjoy&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;together.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Most strong relationships include at least some of the 10&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;characteristics listed above. You and your partner can make building a&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;strong relationship a priority by working these tips and characteristics&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;into your everyday lives.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
