Marriage Help - Touchy Feely

Breakfast in Bed


When was the last time you or your mate were served breakfast in bed?  Never?
On  a Saturday or Sunday, when nothing special is planned,  get up a little early
and  fix  their  favorite  breakfast.   Include  the  morning  newspaper  as  an  added
bonus.  Although they may be shocked, you can be guaranteed that this gesture of
love will be appreciated.

 

Make the Men Feel Good


For  the  man  in  your  life,  here  are  some  recommendations  for  making  him  feel
special:
  • Flirt with him in public places
  • Just once, leave the toilet lid up
  • Lavish him with compliments
  • Tell him how sexy he is
  • Act jealous once in awhile, even if you are not
  • Remind him that he is a wonderful mate, husband, father, whichever applies
  • Tell him how handsome you find him

Make the Women Feel Good


Just  like  men,  woman  love  feeling  good  about  themselves.  

 These recommendations might help:
  • Tell her how beautiful she is
  • Compliment her on her many skills (be specific)
  • Just once, leave the toilet seat down
  • Tell her how much she means to you
  • Let her know that she is your best friend
  • Show affectionate to her in front of family and friends
  • Let her know that you find her to be sexy

That Kiss


As couples become comfortable with each other, kisses can become lame.  Get
rid of  the pecks  and get serious with the kisses.  The next time the two of you
greet each other, enjoy your kiss and do not be so quick to stop.  While there are
appropriate  times  for  serious  kissing,  they  should  be  loving,  sincere,  and

passionate,  regardless  of  how  long  they  last.   You  will  find  that  as  you  pay
attention to your kissing and let your mate know that you enjoy kissing them, you
will both feel better about your relationship.  


Be Kind to One Another


Unbelievably, kindness is often over simplified.  Even good relationships can lack
acts of kindness.  This refers to ?Do unto others??  Simple acts of kindness can
have huge impacts on a relationship.  If your husband or boyfriend is out working
on the car on a hot summer day, make a thermos of ice-cold tea and take it to him,
giving him a gentle kiss.  If your wife or girlfriend has been working at the computer
all day, walk up behind her and massage her shoulders and neck.  You get the
idea.  Kindness means looking at the other person?s situation and seeing what you
can do or add to that situation to make it better or easier.  This is a way to validate
your respect for each other. Kindness will go a long way in a relationship.


Special Hobby


Find some type of hobby that you both enjoy and then do it together.  It might be
that you both love refurnishing furniture.  Turn this into an adventure of going to
estate sales together to find nice pieces of furniture and them refurbishing them as
a team.  Another option would be if you have both wanted to learn how to ballroom
or salsa dance.  Take lessons together so you can then go out on the town and
dance the night away.  This is a great way to make your relationship even stronger
while adding in something fun that you both enjoy.


Listen ? Really Listen


Get into a habit of listening to what your mate is saying.  Not the kind of listening
that  you  do  when  you  go  out  or  sit  at  the  dinner  table,  but  a  different  kind  of
listening.   Have  you  ever  overheard  your  mate  make  a  comment  to  a  friend  or
family member about something they really want or want to do?  Maybe you heard
your boyfriend or husband tell a friend that they would love a certain tool.  For no
reason  whatsoever,  make  a  special  effort  to  get  that  for  him.   You  might  have
heard  your  girlfriend  or  wife  mention  a  spa  that  they  would  love  to  try.   Again,
without  any  reason,  surprise  her.   This  shows  that  your  mate  is  really  paying
attention to things important to you.


Be a Kid


Do not be a prude.  There is absolutely no reason why couples at any age cannot
get into tickling matches or wrestle on the floor.  Do not allow your relationship to
grow old and stale.  Understand and accept that it is perfectly fine to be silly from
time  to time.  If you have nothing special planned on a Friday night, rent a few
games, order in Chinese, plug in the Play Station, and play games.  


All Decked Out


Although most people do not get dressed formally to go out, as a special treat, find
an upscale restaurant, the opera, or even a ball, where the man can wear a tuxedo
and the woman an evening gown.  If possible, rent a limousine and have a bottle
of champagne chilling before you get in.  You will both feel good about yourselves
and spending this magical evening together.  This is something unique that brings
another unexpected twist into the relationship, which keeps things interesting and
alive.  The two of you will have a romantic night that you will never forget.


Showing Love


Although hearing the words, "I love you" is special and important, sometimes you
wish you could tell your mate as well as hear from your mate those words, but in
special and unique ways.  Here are some ideas of how this can be accomplished:

  • Rent  his favorite movie, even if  it is something you do  not like, and  plan an evening alone where you can be with him as he enjoys his special treat.
  • When he gets out of the shower, hand him a warm, cozy towel just heated in the dryer.
  • When you make him pancakes, first pour the words, ?I Love You? on the griddle and  cook  for  a minute  to  brown.  Then, pour more batter  over the  words to create a round pancake.  The result will be a pancake displaying those three special words when you flip it over.
  • While he is out of town, wash his car and surprise him by picking him up in a clean, shiny car at the airport.
  • Take him out to lunch.
  • Have his favorite breakfast on the table along with the morning newspaper.
  • Instead of bugging him to go to the grocery store with you, let him stay home.
  • Display your favorite picture of the two of you on the refrigerator.
  • Buy him a subscription to his favorite magazine.

Split the Responsibility


Whether  dating or married,  weekends  are always full of  errands and  chores.  If
you  find  that  on  the  weekend  things  are  lopsided,  help  your  mate  out.   For
example, if there are kids involved and one has a soccer game while the other has
a baseball game, at the same time, offer to take one of the kids and your mate
take  the other.  Make this a special time  by packing a special lunch or snacks.
Perhaps  one  of you has company coming and  the  house  needs  to be cleaned,
laundry done, and groceries purchased.  Set aside something you need done and
offer to pitch in to help.  Simply say you want to help and ask which of the jobs you
can take over.  This gesture will show your mate that you really care by sacrificing
your time.
