Marriage Tip Monday

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year! I can't believe 2012 is here already. Due to being in vacation mode, here's Marriage Tip Monday on a Tuesday. This came from yahoo...surprise they actually do have good relationship advice sometimes :-)

Keep your relationship from feeling too platonic by making sure that nonsexual touching is a part of your everyday interaction with your partner, advises Dr. Block. That means a warm hug, an arm around the waist, a shoulder massage or caressing your partner's hand. Men especially respond to touch as a conveyance of affection, and it fulfills an intrinsic need for attachment that everyone craves--plus, it doesn't take any additional time out of your day. Also keep in mind that when people feel appreciated they are more likely to extend appreciation in return. "As busy as you might be, take a minute or two to leave a sexy note in lipstick on the bathroom mirror, or write a naughty letter and hide it in the book he's reading," suggests Denay. Or create a "Love Arsenal" for sneak attacks: "Fill a box with his favorite candies and romantic cards so that when you want to show him you care you have the goods on hand," says Denay. "The romantic quotient is turned up a notch when someone finds something unexpected, and the benefits you'll reap are worth a hundred times the effort."
