How to Keep the Passion & Romance Alive in Your Marriage

March 13, 2006 | Author: Cindy | Filed under: Marriage

In Ellen Kriedman’s book Light His Fire, her core belief is that men fall in love because of the way they feel about themselves when they are with their wife. Ms. Kriedman believes that if you don’t have a love affair with your partner, someone else will! Here are some tips to keep the flame burning in your own “house of love”.

· Tell your mate how glad you are that he/she is a part of your life and how lucky I am to have him/her.

· Tell your mate that I love him just the way he/she is and that I wouldn’t trade him/her for any other man/woman in the world.

· Compliment your spouse often for his/her physical attributes (anything you find sexy).

· Compliment your spouse for the things he/she does (from playing with the children, to fixing the car)

· Compliment your spouse for the things he/she says (if funny, complimentary, a dreamer, a problem solver, a verbal person, non verbal, etc.).

· Compliment your spouse for the things he/she stands for (honesty, loyalty, dependability, a risk taker, confident, etc.).

· Make a list of some famous character who are especially masculine (ex. For men: Tarzan, King Kong, Rocky, Rambo, Superman, Casanova, Adonis) or feminine (ex: for Woman: Cat Woman, Betty Boop, Jessica Rabbit, Wonder Woman, Holly-Go-Lightly (Breakfast at Tiffany’s), Venus). Find opportunities to compare your spouse to one of these characters, saying something like, “Oh honey, you’re as strong as the Incredible Hulk,” after he does something that requires masculine strength, or if she does something that shows her feminity.

· Listen to your spouse, with your heart, not your head.

· Validate his/her feelings when he or she has a bad day at work. Just offer understanding without giving advice.

· Avoid constructive criticism or trying to “fix everything”.

· Touch your spouse – every single day!

· When your spouse comes home from work or being away for the day, greet them with a 10 second kiss (let them know you would like to try this as an experiment. It will make you feel closer the rest of the evening!).

· Wear, use or display a gift from your spouse.

· The next time your spouse makes a suggestion, follow it.

· Remember to be a lover at least part of the time…

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

my wife and i met at work as well, But within 6 months of really dating she departed for another company in a whole other industry. We have been married happily for 18 years and have 2 great kids. Where else are you going to meet someone?

Thanks for publishing about this. There’s a bunch of great tech information on the internet. You’ve got a lot of that info here on your web site. I’m impressed – I try to keep a couple blogs reasonably on-going, but it’s a struggle sometimes. You’ve done a great job with this one. How do you do it?
