Passion – the Secret to Strong Relationships

A passionate connection to another person is something that most people want more than anything else in life.  It comes from not only a physical attraction, but even more importantly, a deep emotional one as well.  A person can have success, and even a partner, but will always feel that there is something missing if they don’t have that strong, passionate connection with someone.

Some people search their whole lives looking for it, a few get lucky and find it, sadly, most never realize the full potential of their relationship.   This kind of bond can last a lifetime and smooth over any problems in a relationship, but without this passion even small problems can seem big.

In order to build a relationship like this I find it starts by having a deep respect for who your partner is as a person, are they someone who you would stand up and protect without hesitation if someone was talking about them?  Do you trust that they would do the same for you?

Building a connection requires a dedication of time to give to each other on a regular basis…daily when possible, sometimes just doing little things to remind them every day that they are important to you…a hug, a love note, a little flirting, sometimes it can be more…like cooking a special dinner or giving a massage while watching a show.  Don’t wait for special occasions to show someone how much you love them.

This kind of love is upbuilding, it is a place of refuge, it requires an unselfish heart.  There is little room for pride in this kind of relationship because what you want most is your partner’s happiness. This doesn’t come easy to a lot of people, it takes practice to develop a humble attitude, to think before speaking, to understand what your partner really means when they say something, to not get defensive or say hurtful thing at times, especially if you feel wronged.

A beautiful relationship is cultivated like a beautiful garden, if carefully tended to daily it will continue to grow and thrive and be a source of great joy.  If you neglect the garden weeds will start growing, and if left unattended for long it will no longer be a place of beauty and joy, just as problems will become overgrown in an unattended relationship.

Here are some ideas for planning a romantic evening to get you started.   Your choices will depend on your budget, but a special evening doesn’t need to be expensive.  Just remember the idea is to keep it simple and focus on spending quality time with your partner.

*Special note for men – cleaning the house is an extra special treat for your ladies.

  • Make dinner and a dessert.  Don’t make anything too complicated or time consuming, you don’t want to spend all your time cooking or worrying about cleaning.  An easy pasta dish like spaghetti or a dish you can make ahead of time like lasagna are great.  You can also order in.
  • Strawberries dipped in chocolate are an easy dessert to make and fun to feed to each other later on.
  • Set a nice table, use candles, flowers, and flute glasses to set a special mood. Write a poem, make a card, or find some other romantic way to express your feelings and set it on the table for your partner to find. Play some romantic background music, or make a cd of favorite love songs.
  • After dinner you can:

* Go for a walk
* Sit by the fire and talk (if there is no fireplace use candles)
* Look through pictures/photo albums
* Get to know each other better with 1000 Questions For Couples
* Play a romantic game such as An Enchanted Evening
* Watch a movie, although I recommend activities with more quality time…that is what tonight is about
* Eat dessert

  • At some point try to find a way to sneak away, run a bubble bath and light some candles in the bathroom and the bedroom.  You could sprinkle rose petals in the bath, over the bed and a path from the bedroom and bathroom down the hall for an extra romantic touch.
  • Lead your partner to the bath and help them undress and get into the bathtub.  Take turns washing each other.   Have fun teasing a little here, but don’t go too far yet.
  • After the bath wrap your partner in a towel and lead them to the bedroom for a nice massage before making love.

Flirting With Men Takes You From “Nice” to “Charming”

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Flirting with Men

“Flirting With Men Takes You From Nice to Charming”

Whether you’re single or committed, flirting makes life more fun!  Some will  say people in relationships shouldn’t flirt…I disagree.  There are different kinds of flirting, casual or for romance.  You do have to know where to draw the line.

The art of flirting can take you from nice to charming, when done right.  Charming people are fun to be around, and men especially are drawn to women who smile and laugh.  They find self-confidence attractive, and nothing says that more than a little flirting.

A true flirt uses almost every encounter with a man to make him feel more like a man – making him feel charmed and wanted and special. Men love it when a woman  flirts with them.

Flirting sends a man the kind of message that is vital to his sense of masculinity and his self-esteem. There are so many men who are simply starved for this kind of attention.

When you flirt with a man, you stay in a that man’s mind – sometimes for years!

Anyone can have a conversation – but casual flirting says that you think they’re important, and romantic flirting shows that you really care about him, not just as a person, but as a man!

Flirting with your husband is a wonderful way to make him feel important every day.  And if he’s getting attention from you he’ll be less likely taken in by someone else’s charms.

Why not practice your flirting on the men you consider to be “safe”?

Why not flirt with men a little more today than you did yesterday?

Start with a warm smile for everyone. That’s the first step in practicing flirting. And smiling is not against the law, the last time I checked!

But what if you don’t habitually flash everyone a big smile as you go about your day?

In that case, don’t make sudden radical changes in your behavior. That can cause your friends and co-workers to wonder what’s up with you!

The best way to incorporate a new behavior in your life is in small doses. Otherwise, you may abandon a good effort before you’ve even begun. Whatever you do, keep flirting with men until it becomes as easy as saying hello.

Stay with it. Just flirt a LITTLE more today than you did yesterday. Start with smiling MORE. At everyone!

If you’re married, small changes are a great way to start being more flirtatious with your husband. Start with a longer kiss hello or goodbye. Start showing more happiness with the world and with him.

Little changes go a long way when you increase the amount of flirting in your life.

Flirting says, “I find you attractive – I notice that you are a man – and I am a woman!”

It’s a message that will never, ever go out of style.

Remember to keep your flirt on!  Read more about how to flirt with men at  FlirtWithMen.com.
