Luscious Living Lessons - Seven

Create a loving relationship

Picture
People date, they fall in love, get married and live happily ever after. Sure, they will encounter problems, but they can also be very happy. Problems can be solved and you can keep the spark alive in your love life. It takes attention and intention, but who ever said it has to be hard and arduous. Have fun, be happy, and enjoy one another.

I have been married to my husband (the first and only) for more than four decades. (Yes, we started young.) Here are a few ideas that I’ve learned along the way about keeping a love relationship on track:
Picture
Say, "I love you" often - in words, gestures or actions and occasionally in surprisingly unexpected ways. Be wild and daring sometimes.

Keep dating. Plan events away from the kids, friends and family where the two of you can share "couple time" doing something fun, interesting or romantic. Pretend you are still dating and you have to impress with your charm, sense of humor, sexy good looks and intelligence.

Dance in the kitchen. Hold hands in the movie. Play in the bedroom. Relationships need a solid foundation. An exclusive, intimate, deep, trusting connection is vital for strength. Like any foundation, it will crumble without care, so pay attention to keeping the connection healthy.

Share all of you with your partner—every hope, dream, wish, doubt and misery. Do not recount only the events of your day, confide the secrets in your heart. This is what close friends do.

Laughter is essential for good physical health and acts like glue in a relationship. It helps when times are bad (and bad times happen), and it makes good times better. Stick a note in a shoe. Phone with a joke. Tell a funny story. Tack this to the fridge.

Give your love an extra kiss today and think about doing something to make your mate’s life better. It may make the most important person in your life happier, and you too.
