What’s in a kiss? A lot, apparently. It can make or break a relationship; a horrible first kiss might be grounds for someone to halt a budding romance before it reaches the second date. A kiss can also keep intimacy alive. Smooching, an often overlooked and highly underrated act, is examined in my post on Continue reading The Importance of a Kiss Today, February 14th, is the day when we’re supposed to shower our loved ones with gifts, affection, and attention. While I loathe how this sweet day has become an excuse for florists to jack up the cost of wilted roses and chocolate shops to inflate both their prices and the size of our bellies, it’s hard to hate a holiday about love. Especially a holiday dressed in red, pink, white and sprinkled with hearts. I miss the old days when we used to make Valentine mailboxes out of construction paper and exchange Valentine’s with our classmates. Those were simpler times when we eagerly waited to see if our crush gave us a “good” Valentine or not. The people who mean the most to us are often taken for granted. A little known holiday is Spouses Day which takes place today. My post on HealthyPlace.com talks about Spouses Day and a few ideas on how to make the day special for our LuvBuvs. Here is an excerpt: According to Hallmark and Continue reading Spouses Day In the beginning, your relationship was full of them, but as time goes on, they have a funny way of disappearing. I’m talking about going on dates with your partner. Inevitably when you get more comfortable with each other and get busier with life in general, couples tend to make less of an effort and Continue reading The Relationship Rejuvenator: Date Night A good friend of mine recently told me that she keeps a couple’s diary with her husband. This friend married her high school sweetheart and they are one of the closest, mushiest couples I know—after all these years he still buys her flowers for no reason and writes poems for her. So when she told me they started keeping a diary on their anniversary, I thought I was lucky to be privy to one of the little ways they keep the romance alive and strengthen the bond in their relationship. Yes, we all have some annoying habits or traits that will eventually drive our partners a little crazy. Mouth-breathers, chain smokers, and habitually latecomers aside, there are some characteristics in a partner that could potentially spell real trouble for you and your relationship. In my post Five Characteristics to Avoid in a Partner on HealthyPlace.com, I Continue reading Five Characteristics to Avoid in a Partner Sometimes you date someone so wrong for you that everyone and their hairdresser tells you to break up with him. But then there are times when you date a really nice person who gets along with your friends and family, but something about the relationship just isn’t jiving with you. Check out my thoughts on ending Continue reading The Nasty Task of Breaking up with a Nice Person We’ve always been told to do our best whether it means training everyday for that marathon, putting in overtime at work to get that promotion, or just making time for the important people in our lives. Why then, do so many of us make the mistake of settling for “okay” in a romantic relationship, one Continue reading The Mistake of Settling in a Relationship Edward Cullen, the charming, vegetarian vampire from Stephanie Meyers’ Twilight series has captured the hearts of young and mature women alike. Long before Twilight was made into movies and Robert Pattinson came along to bring the character to life (and no doubt attract more fanfare), Edward has set hearts aflutter. What exactly is so tantalizing about Edward Cullen? You met that “special” someone, the one that you could see yourself with for a long time. At first it’s all sunshine and rainbows. You can’t concentrate at work, you can’t sleep —all because you’re so in love. Then as time passes, that once cute habit where he plays with his hair is now so Continue reading The Five Love Languages |
