How To Love What Your Partner Loves

JM — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 16:26:57 +0000

Throughout a relationship you will be asked to do something you are not going to want to do. Or maybe just something that you absolutely would not do if you were not with your partner. I promise you – it will happen.

So what do you do? You have two choices.

To go
Or, to not go. That is the question…

If you have been reading this blog for a while you would understand the significance of “having time apart” you do not have to do everything that your partner likes to do. So if it is something that your partner just likes to do than it is not so much a big deal if you do not go.

However, if your partner loves doing something, like for me going to concerts – one of my favorite things to do I would pretty much expect my partner to feel my passion for going and want to enjoy the experience of going to concerts with me.

I don’t think it’s too hard to love what your partner loves. However some things are difficult. One for instance is that my girlfriend loves to go shopping. Shopping is not fun for me.

But, when she invites me to go with her, I go because I know she appreciates it. When I go shopping I have a goal in mind of what I am going to get. Kind of like a “focus”. So I do not get distracted by the items I will see on the way. For her, she likes to see everything.

But eh, it’s what she loves to do. So I try to love what she does. I don’t necessarily like the experience of shopping, I just like to watch how excited she gets over things.

What’s Your Special Song With Your Partner?

If you are wondering what the special song I have with my girlfriend is I will reveal it later in this post but for now I’m going to go over a few other things.

Relationships usually have a special song.

A special song in your relationship is a song that the two of you share that:

1. Whenever you hear it, you think about your partner.

2. You play it when you miss your partner.

3. Maybe a song that the two of you discussed that has special meaning to the two of you.

If you are thinking… wait, “My partner and I have never decided on a song to be our song so how could we have a song?”

It’s possible maybe you are not into music so you maybe do not have a special song but I highly doubt it. A special song is not a song that needs to be picked. Meaning: when you hear a song on the radio, it would be kind of awkward to be like “oh my god, that’s our song”. That would be kind of strange.

Special songs just happen. My girlfriend and I have never straight up just picked a song to be “our” special song, it’s just that when a song plays it just reminds me of her. For me that song is “Better Together” by, Jack Johnson.

It’s a song that we have listened to together and the lyrics just make me feel really happy inside and makes me feel really grateful for having her in my life.

So to sum this up. You may have not picked a special song with your partner but maybe you have. That does not matter.

Do you feel you have a song that connects you with the passion in your relationship? What song is that? And why is it your song? Please leave it in the comments below. Thank you.

How To Get Passion In A Relationship

JM — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 20:28:41 +0000

Getting passion into a relationship that you feel has lost it is not an easy thing to do. Many people feel that if they do not have passion anymore in their relationship that it is time to give up. Here are some things to try before breaking things off with your partner.

1. Think About the Positives

What do you like about your relationship and why was it that you were so attracted to your partner in the first place?

Often times when people in are in relationships they often forget about all the little things. How does your partner treat you?

2. When You See Your Partner Do You Melt?

Every time you see your partner you don’t have to have the butterflies that you did when you first started to date him/her. It is just important that you make them feel special and wanted at all times.

3. Kiss With Passion

When you kiss your partner make sure to mean it. Don’t just do it because it is what is the normal thing to do. Make your partner really feel like he/she is wanted each and every time you kiss.

4. Talk About Your Partner

There are going to be many times in your relationship that you are not with your partner. If you talk about him/her with your friends that means you are thinking about him/her and they mean a lot to you.

5. Be Grateful

Let your partner know when you are appreciative for something that they do. Even when it is something small like picking you up at work, or something like that.

6. Do You Feel Lucky?

Something for me when I am in a relationship is that I know I am in something great when I feel lucky to have the other person. Do you find yourself talking badly about your partner when they are not around? Do the pros actually outweigh the cons?

These are just a few of the ways that can get passion back into your relationship. You can’t force feelings that are not there anymore but your partner that loves you deserves a solid opporunity to be with you. You owe it to yourself and you owe it to him/her.

Remember that a good person that you are compatible with is hard to find, so before you go ahead and dump your partners sorry ass go ahead and give him/her a shot. You never know how long it will take to find someone else.

Don’t settle though. If you feel as though you are then just go ahead and move on. Your partner does not want to be with you anyways if you have the feeling in your head that you are “settling.”

A relationship without passion is not a good one.

Build and Grow Passion: The Results of a Balanced Relationship

JM — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 17:01:48 +0000

There are two kinds of relationships that you can have with someone: one of contentment, and one of passion.

The contentment relationship is comfortable. Everything you do is normally planned and in most cases you can expect what your partner is going to do next. The really good parts of the relationship are saved for when you do something special like go out to eat or go on a special date.

The passionate are all about giving everything up for their loved one.

It never occurs to them that the feelings that they are sharing with their partner are selfless because it is second nature for them. They are relationships that people are completely vulnerable, full of kindness, and give up most of their life for their partner (often times everything).

But there’s actually a third kind of relationship. This is the unique relationship that has a combination of a relationship full of contentment and a relationship full of passion.

The people in this kind of relationship understand that they can not be completely comfortable and still have passion in their relationship. At the same time they understand you can’t just give up the life that you had before you were in your relationship just so you can be comfortable.

These relationships consist of people that understand what I call “balanced passion,” the combination of contentment and passion.

The Building Process

You don’t start a relationship being completely content and you usually don’t just jump into something and be completely passionate. So slow it down.

Keep things on your pace. Sometimes it can go faster than others, sometimes it goes slower than others, just make sure you are getting what you deserve.

You always want to be passionate with your partner during all times of the relationship, but don’t neglect your friends. You always want to be comfortable in your relationship but don’t just expect things from your partner. Just make sure it is balanced.

The Growing Process

Once you are in a relationship for a while things are bound to get ordinary and repetitive. That is just the effect of being with someone. So if this is happening to you don’t let it bother you.

One thing you can do to keep your relationship from being repetitive is to spend less time with each other.

Show your love consistently for your partner but at the same time, do things without the other. The power of missing your partner will grow a relationship beyond belief.

Just think about when you first started dating the person you are with, you probably were not with that person every single day – Right? Didn’t you look forward to seeing your partner each time you got together?

The Results of a Balanced Relationship

Once you get a balance of contentment and passion in your relationship, the relationship will be stronger than it ever has been before.

The Boring = The Unhappy

It’s wonderful to be in a relationship that you are completely content and comfortable in but you need to make sure you keep things exciting!

Nice People Finish Last

If you are always giving up everything in your life for your partner then you won’t be the person that your partner fell in love with. Plain and simple.

So make sure you stay balanced. Be nice, be passionate, yet don’t act to content and comfortable because the key to a successful balanced relationship is to keep growing and building the passion.

5 Simple Ways To Be Passionate With Your Lover

JM — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 11:43:04 +0000

What’s the most important part about being in an emotional and physical relationship?

Every single person who is in a relationship spends an infinite amount of time thinking about their lover – their happiness, and their love.

Just imagine how disappointed you would be if you went out and bought your partner dinner, only to end up getting in an argument. A relationship with a small amount of passion is like going to the zoo just to find out there are no animals.

So here are 5 ways to get and keep passion into your relationship that will thrill your partner and make them want you more then ever before.

1. Talk About Them

Passion in a relationship is often overlooked when you are away from one another. It needs to be cherished at all times. When a partner talks about another when they are not around it is one of the best things for someone to do.

2. Song Lyrics

Simply tell your lover a line of a song that reminded you of them when they were not there. This makes your partner feel special and feel like someone that is always on your mind. Most of all your lover will feel missed.

3. Hold Hands In Public

Showing a little affection in public is good for a couple. It gives off the vibe to one another that you are proud to be with one another. It’s one of those things that actions really speak louder than words.

4. Welcome Kisses

When you see each other after not seeing each other for a while give your lover a kiss. This shows him/her that you missed him/her when they were gone. Kissing a lover and getting kissed from a lover never gets old.

5. Old Fashioned

Not all the time otherwise this can kind of lose it’s effect but open up your lover’s car door for him/her. Doing something as little as that can show your lover that you still care.

So which one of these 5 techniques do you use in your relationship?
