LAUGHTER!

Here's a trick that really works. If your partner just isn't sexually interested in bed, that very lack of genital arousal makes them ticklish in that area. Start there. Make 'em laugh! It's a great tension-breaker. And a great way to create an emotional connection.

Cucan Pemo, author of BRING BACK THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE!, explains it like this: "We love to be near someone who is cheery and possesses honest enthusiasm about life. Relationship is always a constant exchange of energy. If someone has a higher vibrational energy than us, we'll find ourselves wanting to go near that person. This is why exercising is so important. Keeping yourself fit and healthy and using the techniques of the universal laws as taught in our system, you will be able to attract and find your highest and best partner."

And, as Cucan reminds husbands, "Women love to talk. If you don't want to talk to them, they feel like it is them that's the problem. You need to allow her to talk to you. You don't have to say much, however, you have to listen with comprehension. Show her that you care by giving her the time to tell you about her problems When you talk to her, let her guide the conversation.

"You also need to give her signs that you care. Like when you come home and she accuses you of being distant you should give her a hug, tell her your sorry, and then ask her about her day. That way it takes the focus off you and then places the attention back onto your wife."

According to Dr Rob Biltion of the Life Management Centre in Canada, relationship is a "mutual filling of needs." This is a very good and useful definition to remember, and it'll come in handy one day.

To keep your relationship or marriage long lasting, accept that there will be a period in your life with your partner; there will be times when your partner does not need you as often as it used to be.

Many people tend to believe that everything should stay the same and everything should be the same. Nothing stays the same in this world. Things change. It is how you cope with the change that will help you to keep your relationship healthy, fulfilling, and long lasting.

Just about everyone, when asked what they seek in a mate, replies, "A sense of humor!"

Not everyone is as funny as a comedian, but when someone tries to be humorous with you, it's a sign that they want to make you happy and that they really want to please you. Of course, being fake in trying to be funny can go over badly. But there are essential differences between men and women.

As Cucan writes, "Men and women have a different thought process when it comes to solving problems. While both sexes are capable of solving problems equally well the thought process involved in coming to a resolution varies between men and women. For men a problem is an opportunity for them to demonstrate their problem solving skills in a quick and efficient manner. Men see having the problem solved as the ultimate goal and they believe that the best solution is the one that is quickest and most efficient.

"Women on the other hand see a problem as an opportunity to work together and reach a resolution. Women relish the chance to communicate about the problem and the act of working together to solve the problem is more important than actually solving the problem. Women may feel closer to their partner, even if the problem still exists, if she feels that the resolution process drew them closer together.

"Understanding that women and men view the problem solving process differently will help a relationship to prosper.

"Sensitivity is another area where men and women differ. Women have a heightened sense of sensitivity relative to men. This heightened sensitivity results in women being more prone to act on their emotions rather than on rational thought. A woman's sensitivity allows her to understand her own feelings as well as those of others better so her reactions tend to take feelings into consideration above logic.

"However, men do not have the same level of sensitivity and therefore are more likely to make their decisions based solely on logic and not take feelings and emotions into consideration. This disparity can result in problems during a relationship because the woman assumes that the man intentionally tried to hurt their feelings if they make a decision that has this effect while the man may grow frustrated if he believes the woman made an irrational decision. Realizing that this difference exists will help a couple go get beyond he said/she said.

"Men and Women also differ in terms of memory. Men have a memory that is stronger in situations where they can recall the details of an event by making an association with something concrete such as a location or item. For example men are more apt to remember an event that took place in a location that they are able to visualize well. Women on the other hand have a memory that is stronger when they are able to associate the emotions felt with that memory to other memories where they had similar emotions.

"This type of memory is especially problematic because when I women becomes angry with her partner, she is often able to recall other situations where he has angered her. Unless the difference in memory is recognized it can become a source of frustration in a relationship when the man and woman don't understand why their partner doesn't remember something that is so vivid to them.

"Men and Women also often have different communication styles which can complicate a relationship. Men tend to be more introspective about their problems and choose to deal with them internally and without discussing them with their partner. When they do decide to discuss a problem it's usually after much thought and careful consideration.

"Women on the other hand enjoy conversing about their problems with their partner and believe that doing so helps them to understand their problem better and come to a solution more easily. Women often use communication as a method for reaching a conclusion. They view the discussion as a way to figure out a solution. The he said/she said aspects of communications must be understood to avoid frustration and disappointment in a relationship."
