1. Be realistic about each other.
Don't try to turn ur partner into something he or she is not.
Let's face it, guys-there's only 1 Pamela Anderson in the world,
and even she has had her implants removed!
Give ur gal a break and understand that
her physical appearance is NOT going to change overnite
with the help of a few facials or treatments.
And ladies, Brad Pitt has already been taken,
so u're gonna have to do with what ur guy is like!
Chill out, love each other for what u are.
There is more to ur partner than what meets the eye.

2. Always talk things out.
Now guys, I know this is not ur fave pastime/mode of resolving issues,
But u know what? This works with the gals.
Don't make assumptions about each other's feelings.
Learn to express urself better
so that ur partner undrstands what u're angry about,
or hurt about, or even happy about!
When u stop talking to each other from the heart,
it's the beginning of the end.

3. Do stuff together.
make an  effort to do things together.
Do some sports or involve urselves in some shared activities
something both of u enjoy or are interested in.
It could be as simple as watching movies together,
or jus strolling hand-in-hand down Orchard Road.
Watch soccer with him once in a while
though the green patch on TV puts u to sleep in 3 seconds.
And guys, do give in if ur gal asks for another day at window-shopping,
rather than suggest that she go out with her girlfriends
for "that sort of activities" instead.
If u're spending more time with ur friends rather than with ur partner,
it's a warning sign that u're drifting apart!!!

4.Meeting each other halfway.
he agrees to throw out that rotten T-shirt with the "The_Rock" print,
u shouldn't kick up much of a fuss if he asks u to keep ur room tidy...
There's gotta be a little giving and taking in a relationship,
so learn to meet each other halfway.

5.show your love.
Buy her flowers or candy or perfume everynow and then,
even if u have been together for few years.
It's wonderful to continue showing someone that u care for him or her.
Cook him a special meal, paint him a Valentine's Day card.
Knit him mini-socks he can't wear ( like for decoration purposes :D ),
buy him a packet of milk for breakfast,
or pack his wardrobe for him..
so he knows u can still be romantic and loving;
despite having been together for quite a while.

6.respect each other.
Stop making jokes about her hair or skin,
or whatever it is u love to laugh at.
Ask urself if she thinks if its funny.
And if he has an inferiority complex about his height,
stop ogling at tall guys and make him feel worse!
Love is about respecting each other's feelings
& being sensitive to each other at all times.

7. Bury the past
stop bringing up the past.
girls, don't bring up the happy things abt you&your ex
would just make him jealous or unhappy.
And guys, don't talk about the happy times
that you had with you ex or mention about her
in your every other sentence
as it would make your gal feel un-happy
& she might think that u saying all this
b'cos you are gonna get back with your ex or not interested in her anymore.

8. sit on your jealousy
All of us go thru' spells of insecurity
at the beginning of the relationship,
but don't translate that insecurity into jealousy.
If you're gonna go through your partner's mail and cupboard,
& eavesdropping on conversations,
u know something is wrong - with u!
Jealousy is like a poison that slowly spreads thru'
the relationship before finally killing it.
Trust your partner; love has to have trust in it.

9. Keep your commitments to each other.
If your partner is standing you up all the time
& cancelling dates and breaking promises, you need to talk!
If you're in a relationship, make your partner your priority
& don't disappoint them if you can help it.
It's really terrible when someone promises to take you to dinner,
& then calls to cancel it.
Don't make promises you can't keep.
If your partner starts to feel that he/she is not important enough to you,
you may jus lose him/her.

10. Be honest.
Is not scowling at how awful she looks first thing in the morning,
or telling him that he has the biceps of a fly~!
When we say "be honest",
we mean expressing your  feelings clearly, not being bitingly cruel.
When you're hurt, say so, and when you're angry,
tell him/her, w/o getting hysterical.
If u can't be honest with your partner, who can you be honest with?
Love is also about honesty,
& a relationship where no honesty exists probably isn't worth it!
