Lovemaking to show love?


Life after marriage is a little serious as responsibilities start from the day one. With this learning process, love is tightly wrapped in the heart as the couple feel that there is still time to share feelings.

 But life is too short and love needs to be a part so what may be the best to express it other than physical intimacy? Now, the couple are legally bond so lovemaking can be their daily routine.
With marriage both men and women are assured that they will be for each other so love can happen any anytime. A hot scene on TV can turn the couple on, a silly cat fight can become a move to get close and the household work can put a foundation to build a love network.
 Love is in the air after marriage, any time can be the time to make love. Men tend to dress as less as possible when they are at home while women wouldn't mind shelling out money for fancy night wears.
 Women try to get tips from the experienced to spice the romance between them and their husband. They wear fragrant products to set the mood for the day.
 After marriage, love needs no materialistic things such as greeting cards or sweets but learning lovemaking techniques (the new positions, tricks and ideas) is what couples expect. They even gift each other lingerie, flavoured condoms or even Viagra to get the utmost pleasure.
 The 'married' always want lovemaking to be a way to present love and not to see it as a task. As long as the couple enjoy each other, the bonding is strong and the understanding levels are also high so lovemaking is indeed the best way to express love after marriage.
Love,

Twelve smart strategies to keep your relationship thriving.


Why do some couples seem so head-over-heels? It's not that their lives are any easier or more perfect than yours-- but they do know how to keep the daily grind from eroding their relationship. Get some of what they have by incorporating these happy-couple strategies into your love life.

1. Fall in love all over again. Make a conscious decision to be in love. The more you act as if you are in love, the more you will feel like you are.

2. Remember the good times. Treat your partner like you did at the beginning of your relationship. Make a list of all the things you used to enjoy doing together and add any new fantasies to the list. Plan for them and make them happen.

3. Help your partner feel more loved and secure in your love so that he or she can open up to you and express feelings and ideas without fear of being attacked or judged. Compliment, praise, and give a hug. Small gestures make the grandest statements.

4. Don't make unilateral decisions. You're a team in many ways, so act like one. Check in and make decisions together about things large and small. Be willing to compromise.

5. Be present. Train your mind to stay in the moment -- not at work, thinking about the new colour you want to paint your kitchen, or how it's time to take the dog to the vet.

6. Pay attention to your physical appearance. Take the time to stay in shape and look good for each o

7. Boost your compatibility. Couples in crisis focus on all the ways they are different, whereas those who are in love zero in on their similarities and think their differences are cute. Build compatibility by taking turns planning activities to do together. If you don't like your partner's choice, don't complain; it's your turn next.

8. Do not place blame. Replace blame and criticism with solutions and tenderness. Problem-solve together -- sit close, hold hands; touch each other's face or hair. Be playful. When was the last time you laughed together? Rent a comedy movie to tickle your funny bone.

9. Plan for sex. Spontaneity is great but smart couples know that good sex doesn't just happen. Like everything else, it takes time and planning.

10. Fact-find -- don't mind-read. You may think you know but you can't assume. You may believe he should know, but that's not fair, either. Always clear up misinterpretations and misunderstandings to make sure they don't throw you both off course.

11. Fight fair -- and by appointment only. Schedule a limited time to discuss a problem and confine your comments to that issue only. It's easier to relax and feel free to enjoy each other when you know you won't be ambushed by a litany of complaints and criticisms.

12. Prepare for checkouts. Even in the closest marriage, everyone needs time alone. Don't take it personally and don't make each other feel guilty if you need to spiritually and emotionally regroup. Just be sure to tell each other when you are checking out (max, one day) -- and when you're checking back in.

12 tips for happiness


Marriage is not for the faint-hearted. It takes hard work and commitment. This year, make sure you keep your relationship in tip-top condition. Here are 12 tips to help you make your marriage over:

  1. Always show respect and kindness towards each other. It's normal to have disagreements, but try not to use unkind words towards each other.
  1. Learn to communicate effectively and allow your partner to have different views without taking offence or making offensive remarks. Be gentle and tolerant with each other.
  1. Ensure that you set goals together and plan ahead – this includes a budget.
  1. Newlyweds need to learn to balance their time so that each has individual time as well as couple time.
  1. A new baby can really disrupt a relationship. Don't be afraid to ask for help from family or friends, or find a babysitter so that each person has personal time, and there is space in your schedule for couple time together. And don't forget that in the chaos a new baby brings, it is okay to have an untidy house.
  1. Do things together as much as possible. Each partner must have a life, but they must also spend a lot of it with their partner.
  1. Don't allow your marriage to become boring. Make sure you have fun time alone together, without children, family or friends. Don't take each other for granted. Give each other fun surprises. If you have fun outside the bedroom you are more likely to have fun inside the bedroom.
  1. Laugh often. Share jokes and recall funny situations. Laughter is a great connector and it's hard to stay angry when you're laughing.

  1. Share chores. This can become a problem when chores and child care are allocated according to tradition, and one person carries more of the load and resents it. The couple needs to negotiate so that both contribute fairly and equally.
  1. Stay faithful by expressing your needs and concerns to each other directly. Be open and honest, and put energy into your marriage. Solve problems in the marriage, not outside it.
  1. Children leaving the nest? One or both of you retiring? Look at it as an opportunity to rekindle your relationship and set new joint dreams and targets.
  1. Marriage counselling is recommended as soon as problems occur. The earlier these problems are addressed the easier it is to sort them out. Even if your partner refuses to go, it's important to go on your own to help you to cope.
