Making Love Work
Simple lessons to make love last
* Never let a fight go unresolved * Your spouse comes first, the kids second, your job third. * You are responsible for your own happiness * When you get advice from your friends, remember that their view is biased. * Conflict doesn't destroy a relationship, resentment does. * Your partner loves you and thinks you're gorgeous. Don't look for constant reassurance. * Even the best relationships have seasons, and there are going to be some hard winters. * Secrets are lies. * Fairytales are fiction. You aren't going to find Prince(ss) Charming. Everyone has flaws. * Love alone is NEVER enough. * The real issue is usually not the one you're arguing about. * Expectations set us up for resentment. * Your opinion is not the truth. * Just don't guilt trips. * Just don't use threats and ultimatums. * Don't forget your friends in the midst of the relationship. * Have seperate interests, along with shared interests. * Commitment is an ongoing process. * Give your partner back double what they give you. * Relationships aren't 50/50. They're 100/100/. * Always express your gratitude. * You don't have to be able to love well to enter a serious relationship. The training occurs on the job. * Privacy is fine, secrecy is not. * Be authentic. * Constructive criticism isn't. * A loving relationship can heal old wounds better than the best therapy can.
