How To Make Love Last

How To Make Love Last(From Glamour)

Once a week...

-- Fight (a little). Keep little things from growing out of proportion by fighting it out.
-- Compliment each other. Try daily to notice something worth a mention.
-- Let something go. There's stuff that matters...and there's stuff that will drive you nuts forever -- try to let one go.
-- Laugh really hard. Laughter is a relationship's Krazy Glue: It bonds you.

Once a month..
-- Be do-gooders. Helping out together (even just to assist a pal) highlights common values and will bring you together.
-- Talk about money. Whether it's 'Should we open a joint account?' or just 'Hey, let's split the bill tonight.'
-- Declare something strictly between the two of you. Whether it's a silly nickname or a bedroom mishap, share something intimate that stays only with the two of you.

Once a year...
--Take on a project. Restore an old car, or put up shelves
-- team projects are great relationship cement.
-- Get a dog. Or at least a plant. Care for a living thing that can grow with your relationship.
-- Confess. Wanna be President? Have a dark family secret? If you can't tell your partner, how much of a partner do you have?
