This week’s relationship advice e-zine talks about the value of “agreeing to disagree” with your partner.

Disagreements are part of all relationships, even the happiest ones.  Some issues however, touch our personal “hot buttons”. These are sensitive issues that will never be resolved between a couple.

What are some of your personal “hot buttons” which you and your partner will never see eye to eye about?

Tell us how you ask your partner for what you want and/or need from your relationship.

Do you stand on ceremony and expect your partner to be able to read your mind? Are you guilty of the belief, that if your partner really understands you, they would know what you might want and/or need from your relationship?

This week’s relationship advice e-zine titled: “3 Simple Steps to Ask for What You Want and Need in Your Relationship so You Get It” does just that. Read it and learn how to ask for what you want and need in your relationship so you get it.

What do you and your partner share in your relationship that you know other couples envy and would love to have?

Maybe the grass is really greener on the other side of the fence when it comes to some relationships. While some couples might fake being happy, we all know some genuinely happy couples (I hope).

You can tell by the way they might carefully listen to each other when they are having a conversation or merely by the way they look at each other across the room. Remember, these happy couples share life’s burdens and difficulties too. They have a found way to stay connected and intimate with each other perhaps because of these burdens.

How is criticism impacting your relationship?

Why do you think you criticize your partner for the silliest things, especially when you know they are only trying to help you out?

The old American Indian adage, “walk a mile in someone’s moccasins before you criticize them”, applies to all types of criticism. Maybe it is just human nature that compels us to think we do something better than others, especially our partners.

If we realized how damaging our innocent little criticisms are to our relationships, we would realize they accomplish nothing and potentially destroy everything. “Think before you criticize” is the title of this week’s e-zine. Once you read it, you might want to stop and “think before you criticize” your partner.

What nicknames do you and your partner use?

Are you in a relationship where you have cute little nicknames for each other? Please give us the nickname and the story behind it.

Couples usually have special nicknames for each other. These nicknames usually describe a special personality trait or unique situation that remains private to the people in the relationship. Using nicknames for each other usually suggests a very close, intimate relationship. It is not unusual for these nicknames to have a private sexual reference to it.
