Saving your Relationship

Win Your Love Back and Save Your Relationship
By Gerry Restrivera

Love and relationships as they say are very complicated. There are a lot of unavoidable circumstances that revolves around a relationship and sometimes you have to part ways with the one you truly love temporarily or permanently. Of course if you truly love the person you do not want a permanent separation and you want to win your love back.

Of course you will do everything to win your love back. Although you cannot persuade someone to do things against his or her will, there are still things you can do to get your love back and rekindle lost love.

Do not appear so desperate. You still need to keep your self-worth and be strong. If you appear too needy of your ex, chances are, he or she will avoid you more. Concentrate on bringing out the best in you and try to attract him or her again. Remember that you have irresistible qualities that made him or her fall in love with you in the first place. Maybe you have lost those qualities due to other circumstances in your life, try to rediscover yourself and be that irresistible and exciting person again and win your love back.

Give him or her time to think. Even if you want to win your love back as soon as possible, you cannot rush anyone on a major decision especially when it comes to relationships. Do not control your ex by using his or her weaknesses just to get your love back. You will just make things complicated, instead of fixing it.

Relationships are very complicated, but as the saying goes “Love is lovelier the second time around.” It is not impossible to win your love back; there are a lot of success stories about couples who get back together and rekindle their lost love.

So He Wants Sex, But She Wants Romance - It's A Dilemma That An Exchange Of Gifts Might Solve

So He Wants Sex, But She Wants Romance - It's A Dilemma That An Exchange Of Gifts Might Solve
By Peter Crump


It's the age old conundrum. He's interested in sex, and she's interested in romance. It's difficult to strike a balance, and it's often the cause of stress in relationships.

From my perspective as a non expert in this area I think it's true. There is a fundamental mismatch between what men want and what women want from their personal relationships.

It's a shame it's this way. You can't blame men, that's how they are. It's how they're wired.

And equally you can't blame women, it's how they are. It's how they're wired.

Of course that's not to say that men don't like romance, or that women don't like sex, but when it comes down to it I think it's clear that men look for more sex from their relationships, and women look for more romance.

We can of course see this as a major problem in relationships. A stress point in relationships. A burden, a cause of friction and a cause of distress.

However I think we ought to look at it differently. If this is just how it is why not see it as an opportunity to celebrate our differences and accept them. Accept, if I'm a man, that she wants romance more than I.

Accept, if I'm a woman, that he wants sex more than I.

And do something about it, use it as a fulcrum to improve our relationships, not to allow it to destabilize them.

I write about gifts for men. I'm not a relationship expert, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. However I look at this from the point of view of gift giving.

I see an opportunity for gift giving to become a part of our relationships. That gift giving can celebrate this particular difference between men and women, and help to bridge the gap.

How? Just like this. A couple need to talk about their likes and dislikes in the relationship. There will be many of course, but I'm just talking about this particular one. And if he is more interested in sex, and she in romance, they need to recognise this. Then they need a strategy to overcome it, and make it a strength in the relationship.

In my view they can do this by gift giving.

So she accepts that he loves sex. She accepts that if the relationship is to run as smoothly as she would like she ought to pander to this a bit. By giving him some nice sexy gifts from time to time. Sexy gifts a man would love.

I won't go into details, I talk more about this on my site, but I'm not talking porn movies or anything like that, just some small and sexy ideas that any man would more than love.

Equally, and just as importantly, he needs to accept that even if it's not so important to him, she loves romance, and long walks, and flowers, and so on.

And he needs to pander to this. To bring gifts to the relationship that she will enjoy. Romantic gifts that he may not normally have thought of.

He needs to put in the effort to bring more romantic gifts to the relationship, and she needs to put in the effort to bring more sexy gifts to the relationship.

And in this way, in my view, it will become stronger for both, and they may even find that the romantic gifts and sexy gifts bring it all together so that the entire relationship grows and becomes more fulfilling for both. That their sex life improves and their romance life improves.

And then the fundamental conundrum has become a positive, and has strengthened the relationship for them both.

Dating and Relationship Advice - How to Keep Your Romance Alive and Well

Dating and Relationship Advice - How to Keep Your Romance Alive and Well
By Bj Moorer


If you have managed to weather the storms of life and still remain in a long-term relationship – Congratulations! Well done! Hopefully, you and your partner enjoy good communication, closeness, compatibility and the comfort of each other. You are familiar with each other and may often find one can start a sentence and the other can finish it. You flow well together.

You may be thinking, yes we did make it. Ok snap out of it. You still have work to do! Yes work! You have accomplished much but you have more work to do. Both of you must work to keep your relationship going in the right direction.

Here are five things you can work on beginning now:

1. Consider your love a privilege. Never take your partner for granted.

2. Have interests that are separate from your partner as well as doing things together. It is important that you find many things you enjoy together, and then continue to do them together. But, there should be things of interest you pursue on your own. If you play volleyball with your friends on Thursdays, continue doing that. If the two of you love to eat Seafood on Friday nights, keep that up as well. It is just as important that you have one or two hobbies you do by yourself, just to make sure that your individual needs are being met.

3. Take time to explore new things together. What have you two talked about but never got around to doing? Is it travel? A new sport? If you love to travel and play tennis, start doing just that. You could take day trips to different places to play tennis. Mix both activities together. You may want to take some classes together. Think of cooking or even ballroom dancing (Yes, that is one hot off my personal list).

4. Have conversations like you used to. Do you recall when you listened to everything your partner said? You know, hanging on their every word? If you find yourself having conversations while watching TV or half sentences over dinner, stop! Really listen and tune into your partner. This one change can make all the difference in the world.

5. Work on You. Yes you! Whatever extra things you did when you first fell in love, pick them up and start doing them again. I am not talking about wearing those old disco platform shoes. Keep those if you must only for old times sake. Take inventory and see if there are areas you can improve yourself. If there are, begin to make changes. Small changes will have big payoffs if continued.

The idea here is to broaden your horizons. Think of things you both like to do as well as things you would enjoy solo. Get busy working on keeping your relationship fresh.
