When your relationship or marriage is going downhill, you
have to learn to take time to pause, ponder over your
relationship circumstance, and look for solution instead of
mistakes.

Whatever you do, focus on holding tight to your partner’s
hand, so that he or she will not be beaten by the
destructive forces that are coming their way and hurting
the relationship.

It is well for us to understand that genuine love is not a
simple, definite feeling that can be easily comprehended
and controlled.

It is a delicate compound of many of our most powerful
tendencies and emotions. To love is not a simple or
voluntary act; it is a life of spontaneous, complex and
continuous activities.

True love between man and woman may manifest itself
suddenly, forcefully and almost simultaneously in the
consciousness of each. There is no doubt that many couples
mutually “fall in love at first sight.” On the other hand,
genuine love may be a matter of slow growth, requiring
months to unfold and years to mature.

Some of the most delightful marriage unions known have
resulted from a slowly developing love. Some persons are
very susceptible to the charms of physical beauty or to the
attractions of character, and immediately surrender to them
when opportunity offers.

Others are slow to receive impressions, distrustful or
appearances and cautious in all that pertains to so
important a matter.

Many relationship cases of “love at first sight”, with
almost an immediate marriage, have proven entirely
harmonious; but such spontaneous and rapid alliances are
comparatively rare, and more rarely satisfactory.

As a rule, it is much wiser for young couples, even though
they may feel irresistibly drawn toward each other, to meet
many times under various circumstances before concluding
that they are really so completely in love with each other
as to marry.

Frequent meetings, with opportunities for a careful study
of each other’s tastes and peculiarities, the inevitable
friction of mind with mind in repeated conversations, and
such disclosures of principles, desires and habits as will
inevitably result from repeated association and increased
knowledge of each other’s ambitions and deepest longings.

For myself, the occasional accidental or prearranged
meetings with my partner and long time friend, when are
deeply interested in each other and dreaming of love – the
walks and rides taken together, the public gatherings
attended in each other’s company – all contribute not only
to an increased knowledge of each other’s character, but
also tend to harmonize and blend our tastes, principles,
purposes.

When things went wrong, I often asked myself, “What exactly
happened when he strays? What exactly contributed to our
conflicts when everything seemed to be going so well for
us? What had I done to allow another person to come into
our lives so easily and quickly??”

I’ve come to a conclusion.

And my discoveries could well give you some insights which
you can adopt and adapt to your own relationship
circumstances.

I’ve discovered I myself cannot help but be attracted to
another person who can confirm my doubts, fears and
suspicions.

In fact, if there is one other person who can grab my
attention and remove my focus away from my mate, this WILL
be a person who knows this unusual and little known secret.

You do not need to take a great deal of time to understand
this secret. In fact, it has often been used by leaders who
can persuade and motivate large masses of people. It could
also have been used by one of your closest friends, on YOU!

Now, think about this, in your daily life, are you saying
all of these or behaving in these ways during your
interaction with your partner/spouse:

~ When your mate claims that he (she) is tired, instead of
assessing the situation, do you immediately and impatiently
blame him/her for being lazy or inconsiderate?

~ When your mate expresses his/her fear of giving that big
presentation for the company the next day, do you ask
him/her to just get over it and work hard on polishing the
speech tonight?

~ When your partner complains to you about the unfair
treatment he/she is receiving from the vendor from whom he
has bought his ipod, do you say “serves you right for not
listening to my advice about buying from that vendor”, or,
do you say “well, he needs to do business”, and then you
proceed to give him some “moral” lessons which he can take
away with him tonight?

I certainly have made all these mistakes.

By dismissing my partner’s feelings, doubts, fears or even
suspicions, I leave myself (and my partner) vulnerable to
my rivals who knowingly (or unknowingly) are able to make
use of these simple principles.

Many parents too have made this mistake with their
children, perhaps unknowingly. I remembered when I told my
mother that “I’m scared of the test tomorrow”; she gave me
a scolding, for not working hard for my test earlier. “You
wouldn’t feel unprepared and fearful if you had done your
work!” was all she could say.

Naturally, I found myself listening more to my friends and
classmates than to her. If I confided in my friends with
the same statement, they would tell me, “Look. It won’t be
easy. I’m not well prepared too. But, we can do something
about it!”

If you take some time to think about it, it wouldn’t be
difficult to understand why I would listen more to my
friends than to my parents. I got the feeling “hey, we are
on the same boat! YOU are the only one who understands me
(my feelings!)”

My friends have more power over me than my parents. And all
the while my parents are puzzled why “I’m so disobedient!”

This also explains why people leave long term relationships
and marriages for another person who are able to
“understand them” better than their current partners!

When Valentine’s Day is approaching, the pressure to find the
perfect way to say “I love you” is on. Want some help making
a big impression without breaking your budget? Call your
florist!

Traditionally, Americans send red roses to their sweethearts
on Valentine’s Day, but red roses aren’t the only option. In
fact, in terms of roses, there are hundreds of colors and
varieties to choose from. To make a lasting impression,
consider sending roses in beautiful pastels or ask your
florist to make a unique arrangement including a variety of
colors. If your sweetheart is truly partial to red roses,
there are actually many shades and textures available. You
could choose a deep burgundy shade or a red with just a hint
of orange. Ask your florist to show you all available shades
and pick the one you find most striking – chances are your
Valentine will be moved by the selection, too.

It’s true that roses are one of the more expensive varieties
of flowers, especially around Valentine’s Day when they are
in high demand. If you find roses to be above your means,
tell your florist the amount you’d like to spend and ask for
help in creating the perfect arrangement for your budget.
Even a gorgeously designed bud vase is sure to bring a
smile. That way, you can choose just a few elegant blossoms
in her favorite color or variety, which helps you stay
within your budget and still shows your sweetheart how much
you care.

Other popular Valentine’s Day ideas include:

* A design that incorporates your sweetheart’s hobby or
special interest, such as a beautiful arrangement in a
sewing basket for someone who loves to sew.

* The Tussie Mussie, a bouquet using a variety of flowers
with bound stems.

* An arrangement of spring flowers like lilies, daffodils,
tulips, or hyacinths.

* Green or blooming plants. Your florist can create a great
mix of green and blooming plants in a dish garden, which
makes a perfect Valentine’s Day gift for men.

Call your florist at least one week in advance to place your
order so you can be certain it reaches your sweetheart on
the desired day. Don’t forget to include a special message.
If you’re at a loss for words, there are many sites on the
Internet that offer sample messages, or you could turn to a
book of poetry. Whatever you write, if it comes from the
heart and is accompanied by beautiful flowers, your gift is
sure to make this Valentine’s Day a special one!
