Psych-Quotes: 12 Ways to Keep The Fire Burning

psych-quotes:

If you’ve been in a relationship for a while you know how easy it can be to fall into a routine of the same old, same old. Keep things hot by mixing it up with these fun and unique ideas:

Try new activities together. Usually spend Friday nights watching movies on the couch? Try out a new activity together like bowling, mini golf or eating a new type of cuisine on your next date. Getting out of your comfort zone as a couple is not only fun but will bring you closer together too.

Spend time apart. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so spend time with other groups of friends. You’ll look forward to seeing each other afterwards and have lots to talk about. Being apart makes you appreciate being together.

Look your best. It’s great to be comfortable around your partner, but after a while it’s easy to let yourself go. Too many nights in wearing sweats and an old t-shirt can send the message that you just don’t care as much as you used to. Try dressing up a little and putting a bit more care into your appearance the way you did when you were first trying to catch their eye. You’ll feel hotter and they’ll definitely notice.

Psych-Quotes: 7 Essential Ingredients for a Healthy Relationship

psych-quotes:

It is hard to find a soul mate! Not many people find a special person who loves them from the bottom of their heart. On the other hand, people who find such a special person are not able to hang on-to each other for a long time due to their negligence. Maintaining a relationship is the most difficult task. Here are 7 essential ingredients to keep a steady, happy and healthy relationship:

Respect – For you to respect your loved one is the best way to express love. There isn’t anything more valuable in this world than respect. When you give respect, you actually gain respect. You don’t have to make an effort to respect your partner. If you love your partner truly, you will automatically respect your loved one. Don’t just respect your partner in the heart; show it with your actions and words. Respect, also in terms of space and your loved one’s ideas and opinions.

Trust – Start trusting your partner from the very beginning of your relationship. When a person trusts another person, there is a sense of reliability between the two of them. Trust helps in building a relation to a great extent. It is really special to know that someone trusts you no matter what. Share this feeling between you and your partner to let the love flow freely. “Trust” is the foundation of every relationship.

10 Signs That They Are “The One”

psych-quotes:

You might reeeeeally like you boyfriend or girlfriend but how do you know if it’s more than that? Here are some clues to tell if they are “the one”?

1.    You still get excited to see them. Even if you’ve been together for a long time, if you still get butterflies or excited at the thought of seeing them, it’s safe to say that you have something special.

2.    You picture them when you think of your future. Everyone daydreams of their future life – maybe your wedding, your dream home, kids or travel. Do you picture a generic face along with you or do you picture your boyfriend/girlfriend when you imagine your future? If they have already become part of your future there could be a real possibility that they’ll actually be part of it.

3.    You don’t have to be perfect around them. And they don’t have to be perfect around you and it’s ok. Sure, you want to impress them, but you can also be yourself and let your guard down. Being comfortable enough to do this and still like each other is a sign that you have a close connection.

2.    So far so good. If things are going well in your relationship so far it’s a good sign that taking it to the next level of commitment will be a success as well.

3.    You’ve given just enough that you don’t want to get hurt. You haven’t committed on a super deep level, but if you’ve given them just enough of yourself that you are emotionally invested and don’t want to get hurt, then making it exclusive is a good way to add the security that you’ll need once your feelings are on the line.

Psych-Quotes: How To Win Them Back

psych-quotes:

You broke up, you regret it and now you want them back. What to do? Here are 10 tips for how to get him/her back:

Initiate friendly contact. If you haven’t stayed in touch much after breaking up, its time to start talking again and getting back into their life. Start small with friendly gestures and conversations. Tell them that you’ve missed them and show that you care by asking how they are doing.

Figure out what the problem was and apologize. If you don’t already know what the main reason was for your breakup, figure it out. If you were at fault, apologize to him or her. Don’t make excuses or justify your actions, simply let them know how truly sorry you are.

Show that you’ve changed. Don’t rely on your words to demonstrate how sorry you are. Use your actions to show them that you’ve changed. If they can actually see positive changes in you, they’ll be more open to the idea of getting back together.

Why We Have Romantic Dreams About Other People

psych-quotes:

It happens to everyone from time to time: we find ourselves having romantic dreams about people other than our boyfriend/girlfriend. You might even wake up feeling guilty, like you’ve cheated. Why does this happen and what does it mean? Here are the reasons why we have romantic dreams about other people:

1. We have someone on our minds. This can be as simple as having run into someone recently, or having memories or thoughts of someone. Even after a brief interaction with an old friend or acquaintance, we can hold onto their image in our minds. While we sleep, our minds process all of the emotions and experiences we’ve had recently and this often includes encounters that we’ve had.

2. We are dealing with stress. Our minds use dreams to process information that it can’t work through while we are awake. When we sleep, our subconscious explores the emotions, stresses, anxieties and changes that we face in our daily lives. In this case, the dream may not have anything to do with the person you were dreaming about, it might just be your minds way of processing information while you sleep and that person just happened to be a part of it.
