50 Promises of a Good Relationship
I received this some time back in my Inbox. It was actually titled '50 Promises of a Good Marriage' but marriage is the last thing on my mind at the moment, so relationship it is.
*ponder*
How many couples actually fulfill all 50 of them?
1. Start each day with a kiss. (I do get a goodbye kiss when the bf leaves for work)
2. Wear wedding ring at all times. (We don't exactly have a wedding ring but more like a...*thinks* commitment ring, which I only take off when I have to give the pups a bath)
3. Date once a week. (I'd like to think that going shopping on weekends counts as a date)
4. Accept differences. (I must admit this is something hard for me to do at times haha)
5. Be polite. (We are the perfect example of a polite couple...NOT! Profanity is our punctuation in sentences)
6. Be gentle. (We don't bash each other up so I guess you can call us gentle haha)
7. Give gifts. (The bf is better in this department. Lots of surprise bouquets of blood red roses...and ONLY blood red roses...and the occasional knick knack)
8. Smile often. (Check!)
9. Touch. (Seriously, which couple doesn't touch? haha I can barely keep my hands off the bf! LOL)
10. Talk about dreams. (Only really weird dreams/nightmares)
11. Select a song that can be "our song". (Did that our first couple of weeks together haha)
12. Give back rubs. (Bf used to be a masseuse so I take good advantage of that)
13. Laugh together. (Now this is silly)
14. Send a card for no reason. (Erm...we don't send cards for no reason but we do leave notes around the house haha)
15. Do what the other person wants before he or she asks. (We both have to work on this haha)
16. Listen. (Not much when I'm fuming mad haha)
17. Encourage. (Yup)
18. Know his or her needs. (I do know his emotional needs)
19. Do it his or her way. (Now I'm horrible at this. I always want things my way haha! Blame it on the single-child-syndrome)
20. Fix the other person breakfast. (Only on Sundays)
21. Compliment twice a day. (More than that)
22. Call during the day. (Like 10 times when he's at work)
23. Slow down. (In what way? haha In bed?)
24. Hold hands. (Most of the time)
25. Cuddle. (Definitely. Before he goes to sleep. I sleep about 5 hours later haha Fucking insomnia)
26. Ask for each other's opinion. (Yup)
27. Show respect. (I definitely have a lot of respect for the bf)
28. Welcome the other person home. (The puppies usually get to the door first when he comes home from work. Maybe I should run to the door next time haha)
29. Look your best. (I try to)
30. Wink at each other. (Come to think of it...we've never winked at each other before haha!)
31. Celebrate birthdays in a big way. (He wasn't with me for my birthday this year. And his birthday is about a month away. Haven't put much thought into it yet)
32. Apologize. (Now who doesn't?)
33. Forgive. (For me...it takes about 12 hours LOL)
34. Set up a romantic getaway. (Plenty of times)
35. Ask "What can I do to make you happier". (Will do that in a minute)
36. Be positive. (Most of the time)
37. Be kind. (Not when I'm in a foul mood)
38. Be vulnerable. (I am a very vulnerable person. Physically and emotionally. So is he. I like sensitive men)
39. Respond quickly to the other person's request. (Depends on what the request is haha)
40. Talk about your love. (We do this most nights)
41. Reminisce about your favourite time together. (And this too)
42. Treat each other's friends and relatives with courtesy. (Of course!)
43. Send flowers every Valentine's day and anniversary. (I get them almost every week! The bf is as much of a romantic as I am)
44. Admit when wrong. (Definitely not me)
45. Be sensitive to each other's sexual desire. (Haha! No comment)
46. Pray for each other daily. (Maybe I should start doing this more often)
47. Watch sunsets together. (Thanks! An idea for Sunday)
48. Say "I love you" frequently. (For sure)
49. End the day with a hug. (For us it's cuddles)
50. Seek outside help when needed. (Yup! Thanks to my girls)
Not bad, hey?
Room for lots of improvement though haha!
