1. TREAT YOUR PARTNER HOW THEY WANT TO BE TREATED.
The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people halfway. ~Henry Boye
There is a saying 'Treat others how you want to be treated' But I prefer 'Treat others how THEY want to be treated'. We are all different in our wants, desires, behaviors. What I think or want is probably not what the other person thinks, wants or needs. In the end it is your role to love your partner how they want; their role is to love you how you want. If they need to hear that you love them a hundred times a day then tell them, if they want time alone to get back in touch with themselves or time with their girlfriends/guys then give that to them. Whatever it is, as long as it does not conflict with your morals and standards, as long as it allows you to stay within integrity, it is a small price to pay for looking after your partner. What may seem silly for you, may mean a world of a difference for your partner.
2. IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things - Robert Brault
You don't need to buy your partner expensive gifts, toys, things. You can't buy love or affection and you shouldn't have to. It is the little things like, waking to each other and the first words spoken being I love you, eye contact, prolonged and silent to become reconnected after a day of the outside world, become lost in your partners eyes, they are beautiful and as the poets say, the window to your mates soul. Do the dishes, cook a meal, take out the trash, but do it without expecting anything in return. Compliment your partner on the simplest of things, encourage him/her and be there for them. A gentle kiss on the back of the neck when you enter the room, gentle whispered words of love, the brush of your hand upon your partners back, these are more valuable than any flowers or jewellery. It is, my friends, the little things combined, that make up our lives.
3. LOVE AND GRATITUDE.
Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. - Denis Waitley
This could be either hard or easy for you, don't be afraid though, just, love without conditions, love completely, love like there is no tomorrow, love without fear, love without embarrassment, love like the day you met, love like you did with your first love, before hurt, before pain, before worry and doubt, just love. If you are with the right person then that love will be returned to you openly and without reserve.
Be grateful! Be grateful for the chance to love another and for the love they give you, for being able to share life with another and for the universe bringing to you this person to just be with. Be grateful for the support, kindness, consideration and in short, EVERYTHING that this person does or brings to the relationship. They are unique, in their love of you, bask in that uniqueness, savior it and be grateful every day.

Who I Am: Over 20 years ago my life changed forever. My then wife decided that I was no longer the person she wanted to spend her life with leaving me for another man. My heart and life was truly shattered. What followed was 20 plus years of failed relationships and unhappiness. I had pretty much given up on finding someone to spend my life with and resigned myself to being single for the rest of my life. I could not take on any more failed relationships, I was spent. Salvation came for me when a spiritual and tribal leader showed me how to overcome this hurt and inability to find again my real desire, which was to find true and lasting love.
