They occur when the couples in them take the risk of sharing what it is thats going on in their hearts and heads. 2. You can only change yourself, not your partner. If you love someone and think that after a while he or she will alter behaviors you find uncomfortable, think again. If you want changes, put them on the table. so your partner knows what you need. 3. All arguments stem from our own fear or pain. When upset occurs, check out whats going on inside of you rather than get angry with your partner. Truth is that we usually arent upset for the reasons we think we are. 4. Understand that men and women are very different. Were not from Mars or Venus; were not even in the same solar system. Understanding and celebrating our differences will make living together more peaceful, interesting, and fun. 5. Honor each other in some way every day. Every morning you have the opportunity to make your relationship sweeter and deeper by recommitting to your mate. Feeling respected and cherished by the one you love makes life much nicer. 6. Anger is a waste of time. Anger is also a relationship killer, because it makes you self-absorbed and wont allow you to see the good. If you are annoyed with your mate, give yourself some time to calm down and then gently discuss whats going on for you. 7. Get regular tune-ups. Go to a couples workshop, talk with a counselor, or read a relationship book together at least once a year. Even if you dont think you need it, you will pick up a couple of ideas, and the process alone will strengthen your connection. 8. Find a way to become and stay best friends. For some this sounds unromantic, but for those who live it, most say its the best part of their time together. 9. Be responsible for your own happiness. No other person can make you happy. Its something you have to do on your own. If you feel its your partners fault, think again, and look within to find out what piece may be missing for you. 10. Give what you want to get. Our needs change with time. If youd like to feel understood, try being more understanding. If you want to feel more love, try giving more. Its a simple program that really works.
