 Want to fall in love again? Want to reignite the luster, the passion of romance in your relationship? Try it, falling in love, all over again!...with your wife, your husband, your significant partner. Here's three things you can do, starting today, that could put you in the mood and lead to increased closeness and intimacy with your wife, husband, your partner, your committed lover: 1. Smile, and the world smiles with you! Before you lift your head off the pillow in the morning, smile. It'll conjure up relaxed muscles in your face and the upward turn of your lips will brighten your day, encouraging a pleasant first thought of the day. 2. Seek out your partner, embrace each other for a full 30 seconds in a body-to-body hug and a 12-second lingering mouth-to-mouth kiss. Extend the ritual if you dare! 3. How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count the Ways: offer each other 5-8 smiles this day as you say 5-8 Appreciative Praises looking into each others' eyes. Well, you may do some of these actions at interlude times during the day, such as (1) in the morning when you awaken for the day; (2) when you're ready to say good-bye as you journey out for the day; (3) when you think of each other in the middle of the afternoon and decide to call or send a text message of greeting; (4) when you return home at the end of the day; and (5) when you say good night as you go to bed to rest...or play! Caring behaviors, some of us call it. Falling in love again. Ah, the joy of it! That's what I call it. Try it, and let it permeate your days as you train you brain to positive as its default. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! |
