Everybody has little quirks that others either love or hate about them. It might be the way one eyebrow is raised when they tell a joke or the way they walk when they are in a hurry.
What is a silly little quirk your partner has that you just love about them, even thought they might be embarrassed about it or think it is silly.

It is really important to have a sense of humor. Taking ourselves too seriously creates unnecessary angst. Life is hard enough. We must be able to laugh at ourselves as easily as we are able to laugh at others, including our partner.
Does your partner tell a story about something that happened to you that they think is the funniest thing in the world, but you have a hard time laughing at? Share with us some of these funny stories and try to lighten up along the way.

This week’s relationship advice e-zine talks about the value of setting realistic expectations for your relationship.
It is great to set high expectations for your life. If you do not expect anything out of life that is exactly what you will get – nothing. The same is true for your relationship. We should have high expectations for our relationship; however, these expectations must be grounded in reality.
Share with us how you developed the expectations you have for your relationship. Did you initially have unrealistic expectations that you had to change? Or were your expectations for your relationship grounded in reality all along?

Summertime and the living is easy. By now you know how much my husband and I (and my whole family for that matter) love the beach. Whether we are taking a walk together or just lying on a chair soaking in the beautiful sun rays, the beach has always been a place where we can put our worries aside and just chill!
Even if the summer is not your favorite season or the beach is not your favorite spot, share with us where and how you and your partner love to relax to get away from it all during these summer months.

This week’s relationship advice e-zine talks about how listening plays a key role when communicating with our partner.
Have there been times when you have caught yourself trying to listen to what your partner was saying to you, only to realize, oops, I didn’t hear a single word they said. (I must have gotten caught up checking my email instead).
Discuss moments when you caught yourself distracted from listening to your partner, and what you did to re-focus your attention so you could effectively listen to what your partner was speaking with you about.
