How to Have an Amazing Relationship – 5 Tips For Building a Blissful Romance
By Michael Webb
It’s not difficult to learn how to have an amazing relationship with the one you love. All it really takes is a bit of knowledge, some honest effort, and a willingness to cooperate with each other.
If you can do this, then you actually have the makings for a pretty phenomenal relationship. Now, about that bit of knowledge I spoke of earlier; here are a few ideas to help you to have a much more blissful relationship with your partner:
1. Make Time For Your Relationship
Over and over again, people tell me that my ideas are wonderful, but they feel as if they can’t be as loving or romantic as I am because they don’t have enough hours in the day to be creative and spontaneous lovers.
Believe it or not, I have the same amount of time given to me each day as everyone else does. It’s how I prioritize the time that might be different. And besides my relationship with my Creator, my time spent with my wife, Athena, is most important to me.
The time I spend with her is more important than my job, the money I make, exercise, friends or other family members, and yes, even more important than Ashton, my darling little son.
I am not against nice items for those who can afford them and don’t have to work insane hours to attain them. But I am slightly perplexed by those who work too many hours or have a long daily commute just so they can have “things,” not realizing they are losing something that is even more valuable and precious.
2. Share Secrets Together
I’ve got a secret and I’m not sharing. Actually, I have a lot of secrets. There are a lot of things that are only known to Athena and me. That keeps us close. I like it when Athena shares things with me that she doesn’t share with others. It makes me feel special and unique in her eyes.
I tell her things that I don’t tell my friends or family. It’s not like these are horrible things we have done that we can’t tell others. I just want Athena to feel like she knows me better than anyone else.
If you want to have an amazing relationship, make your sweetheart feel special. Always share important things with them first. Let some things remain a secret between the two of you for a little while before letting the rest of the world know all about your personal life.
3. Have Date Nights
Without special time together, relationships can pull apart or simply become stale. But you can’t simply replace doing nothing with doing the exact same thing week after week. The – oh-so-predictable – dinner and a movie can be all right if mixed up with some other types of dates.
Here are a few simple date suggestions to help you to have an amazing relationship: Bookstore, library, museum, zoo or park date, or together collect clothes for a shelter.
4. Spice Up Your Love Life
If you find that sex is becoming very sporadic in your relationship (and you are not happy with that) consider scheduling “sex nights.” Just like date nights, schedule one or two days each week for physical intimacy. This is a great way to rekindle the passion and keep the romance alive in your relationship.
Some people find the idea of planned sex off-putting at first, but later come to anticipate the weekly ritual. Having sex planned in advance makes for prolonged foreplay, which will help to make every other part of your relationship simply amazing!
5. Get Your Debt Under Control
If you want to have an amazing relationship filled with both passion and peace of mind, you will need to get your debt under control (or at least a plan to do so). Otherwise, your debt will control you and affect you physically and psychologically.
When you get a paycheck, the first thing you should do is set aside money for charity/church. Doesn’t seem logical, but it works. Sit down with your partner and discuss all aspects of your family budget. Only when you analyze your spending habits will you fully realize where you are wasting money.
This will be a great opportunity to talk about your goals and dreams both as individuals and as a couple. And if you want to have an amazing relationship, you must come to the realization that frivolously spending money can be a sign of disrespect for your marriage and mate.
If you would like to have a bigger diamond ring or a fancier car, ask yourself why. Take a quick inventory of all the items you own but could really live without.
Take into consideration just how much you paid for them. What if you didn’t buy those items and had all that money in savings instead? Would it make a difference in how you view your job, your family and your future?
