MamaPink Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 who wallpapers anymore anyway?NOT ME! It was a really old man, married for over 50 years who gave us that advice. I hate wall paper. The house we bought was covered in it... finally got the bulk of it down last month. I think they do it to cover up ugly holes and dents in the walls... because we discovered MANY.and by the way, STRIPPING wallpaper is a healthy stress release for couples to do together.

ReDD Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 I say a mutual understanding of when space is needed. Time together is great but everyone needs a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 For me (us) it is ....... stay out of the kitchen when the other one is trying to do stuff.Also, try not to breathe the wrong way or look like you're thinking about how crazy the other person is at this very moment.

AdamH Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 1. Recognize a need for space2. Recognize a need to be together too3. Recognize the importance of little things4. Surprise one another5. If you're not sleeping together regularly there's a problem. Don't pretend there isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 I am in the happiest relationship in my life. I think my previous relationships taught me how to make this one work.Don't sweat the small stuff and accept each others differences. We don't all have the same priorities or the same expectations. We need to show patience and acceptance for our loved one's lifestyle. This is the biggest lesson I have learned and my proudest acheivement.Have sex often, it keeps you connected (literally and figuratively I guess).Have fun together. Whether it's enjoying music or sport or whatever, be sure to play and laugh together. Have time apart. It makes you miss one another and provides you with ample conversation.

Sunshine Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 LOVE Understanding that you are two very unique and different people - honesty followed by trust Compromise! Lots of hugs and kisses! CUDDLES And more cuddles! never raise your voice, and don't fight over stupid things!!! Never go to Bed ANGRY! SEX!!! Mmmmmmmmmmm.......yes, sex! One major key - if your UNHAPPY or make each other miserable - get the fuck out!! No matter how much you care about each other. Some people just don't work together & will never figure out BALANCE. Love is love, but making a relationship work is a whole other story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
