Don't let stress ruin your sex life and, ultimately, your relationship
Stress can take a major toll on sex life. For a man, work and money-related stress is especially likely to take its toll on libido. For a woman, home-based stress, including what's going on in relationship, can send her sexual desire packing. In today's world, many couples find themselves juggling a long list of responsibilities. From kids to careers to just getting enough sleep, it's easy for many couples to allow their relationship to fall to the bottom of that to-do list. The problem is that even if a couple has a strong commitment and partnership, without sex, a relationship becomes very vulnerable.

Tips how to make your true love last a lifetime
(1) Avoid negative thought patterns. Allowing yourself to mentally or verbally take down your spouse other is like chewing at the bond that holds you together. (3) Be more flexible and forgiving with your spouse than anyone else. We expect our spouse to "understand" our stress or restrictions. Reserve your patience and kindness for the person who means the most to you. (8) Remain loyal and unselfish. Start worrying more about whether you are being a good spouse than whether your spouse is being a good partner to you. Life isn't all about you, how you're feeling and what you want.

Six ways to give your relationship a tune-up
(1) Grow together, not apart: This is essential for couples who have been together for longer periods of time. Over time, you will both grow and change, and as your emotional needs, hobbies, interest and values evolve, make a commitment to grow and change as a team. (3) Practice forgiveness: It is essential we understand some troubles come in every relationship. As the years go by, it will be difficult to stay in love if you walk in unforgiveness and hold your spouse hostage in his or her past. There is no perfect person, no perfect relationship. It is equally significant to forgive yourself of mistakes you have made.

Living happily ever after: making your marriage work
The success of a marriage depends on "the quality of the friendship" between the spouses. The better able you are to understand and respect each other - the more likely you will live happily ever after.

How to Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It

How to train a woman
Women may want to mold their men to be more obedient and less irksome, but there are nagging questions about nagging: Does it work? Helen Fisher speculated that it might be easier for men to train women because "women are better at reading the emotions in your voice. So just the man's tone of voice as opposed to even the words could be rewarding." Both sexes would be better off ignoring irritating bad behavior. "I think both sexes are busy manipulating each other. Women will nag and men will tease." It may be hard for men to use compliments to alter female behavior because women give and get so many insincere compliments that they're immune to flattering words.

How to improve your relationship
Do you have problems in your relationship? If things are not going well in a sexual and romantic relationship both partners have to try to understand why. So, if you are in a relationship that's in trouble you need to ask a number of questions. When things are going badly, couples tend to ask which of them is to blame, or which of them is at fault. 'Blame' and 'fault' are not very helpful words. It's better by far for both partners to accept that they share joint responsibility for the relationship and to agree that when they are having problems they should work at them together.
