1. Always Show Appreciation. Always show your partner that you appreciate him and the value he adds to your life. Even if your appreciation is for something minuscule, let him know how much of a positive difference he is making in your life.
2. Have a Sense of Humor. Don’t take everything so seriously all of the time. Lighten up.
3. Learn to be Submissive. There is nothing wrong with being submissive. If I could get personal with you for a moment, it feels good being a helpmate and allowing my partner to take on the responsibility of being head of our household. I have to make tough decisions, be in charge, and take the lead with my business all day and so when I come home, I don’t want to do all of that. He is the man, he is the protector, and he is the provider. This is what men were designed to do, not us! While we are a strong and beautiful species, the men were designed to be head of household. Women are instinctively nurturers and caretakers. We can run a house, take care of the children, and plan a PTA meeting all at once. Men cannot do that! According to science AND nature, men are not wired to work the kind of magic that we are. We need to instil some “old-fashioned” beliefs back into our relationships and let the man be the man. However, you must be with the right kind of man who is honest, loving, faithful, spiritual, and that would never do anything to harm his family. This is the kind of man we should be making our husbands and being submissive to and not the raggedy ones out there that we can so easily get attached to.
4. Laugh at His Jokes. It makes him feel funny and special so why not?
5. Respect Him at All Times. You never, ever want to disrespect your mate with your words, actions, or even your thoughts. Even in fault, he deserves respect. This is how we want to be treated at all times so we need to give that same respect at all times.
6. Praise and Compliment Him. That is, as long as you are honest. You do not want to praise your man’s singing skills when you know deep down he stinks. That is setting him up for failure, but if he does something well, let him know how much he impresses you. Make him feel good but honestly. You should always be his biggest cheerleader.
7. Let God In. We need His guidance and assistance in our lives, including our relationships. Your prayers, which I am sure already do, should include asking Him to watch over your family and your relationship, to help you to become stronger as individuals and as a unit every day, and to remain in love for as long as you both shall live. Ask Him for what you need in your relationship and He will send the information you need. It doesn’t matter which religious affiliation you belong to, you know how powerful God is.
8. Find something that interests you both so you can learn together. This is a part of staying actively involved in your relationship and evolving. When you are learning and trying new things, you are growing as a person. How beneficial would it be to your relationship if you had a way to do this growing together?
9. Exchange Wish Lists and make each other’s wishes come true. We all have little daydreams of things we wish our partners would do such as having flowers delivered to the office for no reason, sending us on a romantic scavenger hunt, you know what I mean. From big to small, create your wish lists and exchange them. When your partner least expects it, make one of his wishes come true. Continue to do this until you’ve scratched everything off of his list (that’s within reason).
10. Kiss each other passionately and daily. Kissing is the first sexual activity to diminish when couples are growing apart. Besides the fact that a 60-second French kiss can burn 26 calories, kissing feels fantastic! You feel close and connected to your partner and sometimes that kiss leads to something that will have you burning off even more calories!
