Relationships are definitely work! Especially if you want to make them work. I feel like you should never take your significant other for granted. Always tell them you love them, always try to look nice for them (whenver you can), and make them feel special. That’s how you keep your relationship alive and healthy. Once one person just assumes the other will always be there…and that you don’t have to put in any effort that’s when trouble begins…

My husband and l have been on auto-pilot for 5 years. An accidental pregnancy, 15 years and 5 children later, there’s never any time for us. No flirting, dating, excitement or romance. How do you cope with that?

I’m big on communication, if it isn’t there, or can’t be gotten after a quite time is needed, something may be amiss.
Keeping things exciting is no easy task for many, but there is certainly something to giving it a try, by both persons.

I think you have the answers you need, and I like the way you expressed them in this post.
I have to catch up with your blog, but let me just say:

You’re cool, pretty, groovy, irresistable and funny! I’ll tell you again next Month

Oh yer Majesty!

Let’s just get rid of the whole monogamy thing and go polyamory. So your with bob on monday night and then Bill starts looking pretty good…then with Bill…Bob starts looking pretty good.

Both Bill and Bob know they have to step up because you “don’t need either one of them”….

Just thinking outside the box early on a saturday morning. ;o)

ain’t love grand?
