What it takes to get them...it takes at least to keep them! Please know this! Once the newness of the infatuation wears or the “we no longer have to sneak" to be together is there...what then? When the luster of lust wears…what then? When the shine of showing one another is gone…what then? When glint is beginning to dull…what then?
What happens when the children come? What happens when life sets in? When the monotony of life has taken sheen of the relationship to that worn and aged appearance…what then?!?!?!?
Please know that whatever you did to get that person…it will take AT LEAST that to keep them! We have to stay excited about the person that we want to love for the rest of our lives!
We come home, life is on auto pilot, that is fine to a certain extent! You want to come home and expect your mate to be happy that you are there? LMBO!!! No, that is not how it works! You cannot show up to your job and not work…trust me, you will not get that paycheck and you will eventually be replaced or downsized. No one in any relationship wants to feel as though they are insignificant…they can get that feeling at their 40gig…
You don’t have to necessarily wine and dine each night, but you HAVE to remind your mate of the reasons that you got together! You must remind them that they matter. You are obligated as the one who proposed or said yes to the proposal to be appreciative. We all need to feel valuable in our relationships! The loneliest one can be in when they are alone with a mate. Just remember that appreciation and consideration goes a long way.
