How to Improve your Relationships and Build a Romance
Bridge
Ever run into a brick wall, so to
speak, with your mate? Can’t seem to pass “Go”
without collecting 200 fresh wounds? Well, it’s
time to improve your relationships, build a bridge,
tear down that brick wall and let life’s problems
magically pass by while you hold on to your relationship.
Here are your tools.
1. ATTITUDE – Get an attitude adjustment
first. Lighten up and do a 180-degree about face. Read
the Sunday comics, grab an old comic book, turn on the
Comedy channel, watch funny videos or DVDs. Get in a
better mood and pass it along to your mate. Invite your
mate to tune in to comedy with you, too.
2. FRIENDSHIP – Go back
to being friends for starters now that you’re in
a good mood. Forget the love stuff, if you want. And
just focus on being good friends; share compliments,
do things for one another, go out and have fun together,
enjoy one another’s company.
3. RELAX – Let your hair
down. Trust and relax. Be yourself. Don’t let old
wounds open or fester. Forget the garbage memories and
just be in the here and now together.
4. TIME OUT – If possible,
spend extra time together for awhile, like during your
original courting days. Hire a sitter, order out, eat
at fast food places, grab ice cream cones and go for
walks in the park. Get to know each other all over again.
That’s the key. Then you’ll remember why you
fell for each other in the beginning and history will
hopefully repeat itself.
5. COMMUNICATION – Take
it slow and easy. Keep away from subjects that you don’t
agree upon. And slowly re-learn to communicate with
each other all over again. If necessary, and it’s
not a crime or shame – get help. Seek a trusted
friend or adviser, a church clergy member or certified
professional counselor. No need to go it alone. Find
your weak areas and how to over come them and plan for
future communication difficulties.
6. GOALS – Gradually develop
goals together so you’ll have a direction to head.
Write them down in a notebook just for the two of you.
And over time, develop them, revise them, cross them
off your list. The idea is to HAVE goals together and
work towards a common goal.
7. SCRAP BOOK – Create a
memory album together. Add photos, clippings, menus
and anything that reminds you of the “good times.”
Then when tough times comes, you’ll have something
to “hold on to” – your bridge to romance.
So don’t just sit back and sulk.
Take short steps to improve your relationships and let
life’s problems magically pass by while you hold
on to your relationship.
