Beautiful love

Love, love changes everything! True words. Here are some famous and not so famous peoples’ views on love.

1. A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy. George Jean Nathan

2. You will find, as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love. Henry Drummond

3. True love is not about the hugs and kisses, the 'I love you's' or the 'I miss you's', but about the chills that hit every part of your spine when you think about him. P Lauren

4. Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same. Flavia Weedn

5. What we need to know about loving is no great mystery. We all know what constitutes loving behaviour; we need but act upon it, not continually question it. Over-analysis often confuses the issue and in the end brings us no closer to insight. We sometimes become too busy classifying, separating, and examining, to remember that love is easy. We make it complicated. Leo Buscaglia

Remember, love is beautiful!!

How 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.

Adore your mate

Love, care, attraction and affection are what come to our mind when we talk about a relationship. Well a relationship is much more than that. It is admiring and adoring your mate, adoring beyond the physical appearance.

A relationship is about two individuals coming together in union for an everlasting bond. It is accepting one another with all their positive and negative aspect. When you are in a relationship you should adore your mate for what he or she is. Adoring your mate is appreciating the complete persona of a particular person. A relationship is accepting a person for what they are, all the good and bad qualities. You have to accept the person for his or her flaws. That is a true relationship.


Most of the relationships in today’s world end in a separation due to lack of adjustment and acceptance for each other. Many couples are unable to cope up with the faults of their partners. They only admire them for their good qualities and reject them for their negative characteristics. Should it be the way, certainly not? We should remember that no person is perfect. If people are good at certain things and have some positive traits they also have negative qualities. We should learn to accept and acknowledge both the positive and negative points of our partners. This is true love. If you really love your mate you are going to love him or her for each and every quality he or she has.


Most of us come into a relationship when we get acquainted to a person’s positive attribute which is very normal. But it is in later years that we come to know about a person’s negative trait. It is here we need to understand that no person is perfect and should take that person as he or she is. None of us are perfect. You should keep in mind that you too have faults and are being accepted as you are. So why can’t you be the same.


If you feel it difficult to take in the bad part of your partner just keep in mind the good part about him or her. And it will become very easy for you to take in the unpleasant portion of the relationship.

Love Your Sex Life

Touch him as much as possible. Place a gentle hand on his shoulder or thigh when you're talking to him, rumple his hair or pat his butt when passing by him, hold his hand when walking together, squeeze your thigh against his when sitting together at your child's practice, straighten his shirt before he walks out the door, knead his neck when he's driving. Remember, action speaks louder than words. You can tell someone you love them and are proud to be with them dozens of times and it won't get the message across nearly as quickly as giving his hand a kiss when he leaves for work or sneaking up behind him and hugging him. It's these little gestures that reinforce your oneness.

Make your surroundings a little more sensual.  Don't wait for special occasions to dim the lighting with candles or perfume the air with sexy-scented incense such as jasmine or vanilla.

Ask him to slowly and gently brush your hair. It's such a simple move, yet it both relaxes and stimulates you while making you feel totally pampered. Ask him to take his time, stroking you from root to end, section by section, until your tresses feel smooth and silky.

Turn a hug into a surprise sensual neck and back massage and give your partner a blissful experience.

Put on a CD. Everyone knows that mood-setting music can put you in romance mode. But some sounds are more sensual than others. When you hear music with a strong bass beat, like reggae or Latin songs, you can feel the vibrations resonating through your lower body. And these vibrations are what make you feel aroused and get you itching to move in sexual ways.

Hand feed each other unusual fruits like kiwis, pomegranates, or star fruits. They're exotic, smell delicious, and feel sexy in the mouth. Slices of mango are also a good sensual choice with a bonus: You get to lick the juices off each other's fingers.

In bed at night, make sure to touch at least one part of his body, even if you don't go for full-tilt spooning.

Throw away your TV Guide. Instead of going on autopilot with the remote, pledge to have a "No TV Night" once a week. Then fill the time reconnecting by conversing, cuddling, and kissing.

Start sleeping in the nude. If you're usually a head-to-toe flannel woman, take it in small steps: a tank and shorts, then just a tee, and so on until you're completely nude. Once you get over the nakedness of it, the feeling of having nothing on is actually powerful and potent — and may even lead to sexier dreams, not to mention a more tantalizing night-time cuddle...or more.
