IOU's
Give I Owe You's (IOU's) to your mate, whether it be for a holiday, a birthday, or just because.  A massage (body, hand, foot, etc.), a free night out on you, a special date, a theme date, a movie night, a dinner made by you, etc... It is a great way of giving your mate what they want. They won't feel as if they are being selfish or greedy.  It also forces you to be creative! (Kate)

_____
Words
Some people believe that no words can ever express our feelings and that once our feelings are translated to words, they lose their truth and identity.  That is true to an extent, however, words are essential at the beginning of a relationship to establish the base.  Emily Dickinson says "A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day". (Salma Massoud)

_____

Tell your honey everyday "I Love You!" Remember that the power of touch is amazing! Hugs & kisses, holding hands, a little neck or backrub, or just snuggling on the couch with a good movie will keep you in touch!

Take your honey to dinner and/or a movie every once in a while. If you have kids try to do this at least once or twice  a month. If you don't have kids, what are you waiting for?

Time Alone

Space
Everyone needs a little space for themselves. How can you remain yourself without it. It gives you time to reflect on your life and what you need. Especially space is needed when one is angry. Don't fight! Talk it out.

_____
Communication
Communication is a big key to a good relationship. Talking things over and letting each other know what you like and dislike. It shows where you stand on many issues.

Burden
Couples should share the burdens of the household as well as the family. It takes two to make the relationship work as well as let any kids involved know that parents are a team, and not someone to play tug- of-war with.

The eyes have it. Eye contact is very important.  It lets your loved one know that they have your full attention.

_____
Faith
Be forever faithful to the one you love!  Don't cheat and keep your eyes off of others.

Apart
Business trips and such can separate you at times. Why not send a postcard or a love letter each day to your loved one while they are away.

Love Note
To start the day out well, when your bathroom mirror is fogged from the shower, write an "I love you" note or draw a picture on the medicine cabinet mirror.  When the "fog" clears it won't be seen until the next time your loved one gets out of the shower...and surprise...its a love note!(Sandra)

_____
Kisses
Noone ever gets too many kisses and hugs from their loved ones. Kisses out of the blue are wonderful surprises. If asked "What was that for?" you can say "Just because I love you!" You can never say "I love you" too much either.
