For valentines day I will offer one thought on relationships for one like
1. Have sex as often as possible. Reach into that well because it never runs out. Sexual health is really just another component of overall health.
2. Make it a point to conquer things together. It could be going to gym one night while another day it could mean making it to the top of a rough hike.
3. Take pictures of each other. I take pictures of my girlfriend frequently, I want her to know precisely how I look at her
4. Consult with each other about how you look often. The person who sleeps with you regularly will not steer you wrong on looking good.
5. Directly addressing w*men: men annoy you because they like you. Women are insanely fun to annoy, this is a form of affection.
6. This is for men: pick your girlfriend up often. If you cannot do this, you need to go to the gym until you can.
7. If you can consistently and regularly make your partner laugh, they will overlook the majority of things you are insecure about
8. Being seen with your significant other is good but it's much more important to be joint terrorists sometimes. Show up in places you don't belong and jointly break rules frequently.
9. Engage in displays of ownership. I wear things she has knit me and she wears my band shirts. This is self objectification, be visibly taken.
10. Smell your partner often. Strategically, smell behind their ears and the back of their neck often. Just trust me on this, know this scent.
11. The best relationships are purposeful. Beneath stuff like lust and friendship is the desire to provide certain things like a stable domestic life for growth and development, meaning that even when arguments do happen that thought stays on accomplishing a deeper goal.
12. If there is any technique you take away from this, it should be to remember small things that your partner says sometimes. Even if you don't act on it for months, remembering some small want they have and acting on it later makes a happy wife (male or female)
13. Have joint projects. Build shelves or planet a garden together.
