Relationship Excitement
Lately, I've been hearing stories from some of my friends who seem to be in dull relationships. It's kind of funny because these were the same people that used to give me advice on how to talk to women. Go figure!!! Anyway, I want to give you guys some ideas on how I feel you should keep your relationship exciting.
For starters, you should always give compliments and sentiments to your significant other. Believe it or not men, compliment just as much as women do because relationships are 50/50 (I'm sure you heard that before). Also, everyone needs some encouragement to survive in this crazy world. I can remember a time when I was feeling down about the college that I am attending( I plan to transfer in the fall). My fiance gave me positive reassurance that it was the right thing to do because we both realized that the classes I'm taking now doesn't have anything to do with what I am majoring in. Having said that, learn to be positive around each other.
Another way to keep your relationship exciting is to plan your future together. Ask each other what do you want out of this relationship? Whether it be dreams and goals you want to pursue together or individually it does not matter. Make sure the communication is in line. Another example that I have is with me and my fiance. We're in a long distance relationship right now and the plan is I'm going to be the one to moving closer to her. It's a lot easier for me and there are more opportunities in her hometown as opposed to my hometown.
My third idea to keep your relationship exciting is to laugh at yourselves. Sit back and reminisce about a time where you and your SO had just started your relationship. Ask yourselves what was so different about it back then as opposed to now. I can remember the time when me and my fiance came up with little nicknames for each other. I'm not going to tell ya'll what our nicknames are because they're too hilarious:). The way I see is that if you can laugh at yourselves then you can beat the world.
This last one is common sense but here it goes. Are you ready? If not, too bad because I'm going to give it to you anyway lol. Take turns planning dates. I can speak for anyone else but in years past, I always had to be the one to initiate the date planning. It was cool at first but after awhile it just got old. Also, make sure they're dates you both enjoy. The old saying is true " You get out of a relationship what you put into it."

Relationships shouldn't be 50/50. They should be 100/100. :)

I liked this! its simple, sweet and yet, romantic too since you're talking about including her in your life. Very nice.
Sweet! Couples should always be best friends and lovers at the same time. That'll keep the relationship going and exciting! :))
yay! i think we're gonna be okay! haha... thanks for the post!
Dang, I wish every guy in the freaking world would read this.
He also wrote, "Take turns planning dates. I can't speak for anyone else but in years past, I always had to be the one to initiate the date planning."
Every girl "in the freaking world" should read this too.
Be true to yourselves. Don't be someone else just to impress your SO. A lifetime partner or soulmate is worth changing little things about yourself. But your whole being is an entirely different story.
Accept each other. Petty little things shouldn't matter when it comes to love. What should matter is that you love each other no matter your faults. Never fight. Talk it out. Talk about your future, about how you will get there rather than the end result. Have a mutual understanding of every situation.
And most importantly, just BE. Live. Be happy together. Love each other unconditionally, and the rewards will be endless. I know this myself.
amen
@wizard_howl@xanga - wow that spoke to me! i was in a relationship where i felt like i needed to change who i was to make her happy... we loved eachother, but it just kept getting worse and worse, and finally we broke up. it all makes sense in retrospect, but i should have seen the signs earlier
"You get out of a relationship what you put into it."
Thanks for sharing this quote.
Don't change yourself, but strive to be a better version of yourself for yourself first and then for your SO. My man is learning to be more patient and be able to just let things go and move on quickly, I'm learning to control my quick temper and try to do the latter as well.
Great post, man. Two thumbs up.
great blog. i totally agree with you.
YAY!
There's wayy too many things that people can do tokeep the relationship exciting, but I'm kind of lazy to think about it lol.
- I agree and like your ideas in this blog!
