Aug 02 '10 Love Letters to Write to a Boyfriend – 5 Steps

0 COMMENT   

Nothing quite says “I love you” like love letters. Write to a boyfriend a beautiful love letter – and you just might make him fall more deeply in love with you than he already is! Think love letters are too mushy (and therefore unappreciated) by most men? Think again: in my experience, even some of the toughest-acting guys I have known melted like butter after receiving love letters that follow my simple recipe.

If you are interested in writing love letters to your boyfriend, you might be feeling a bit intimidated by the whole thing. After all, writing is hard, right? Well, not necessarily. If you follow these 5 simple steps you can’t go wrong, and your boyfriend will like putty in your hands:

1. Get into the right mood:

As any writer will tell you, what we write is greatly affected by our mood and our surroundings. To write a successful love letter to your boyfriend, start by getting your head and heart in the right place. Do whatever it takes to get yourself into a mellow, giving mood. Some of the things I do to get into the romantic writing mood include: putting on soft music, lighting incense, taking a warm bath, or even dressing in my favorite lingerie or negligee before sitting down to write. By doing these things, a subtle transformation comes over me and I am in the right place, mentally and physically, to write a love letter to my boyfriend.

2. Use beautiful stationery:

A few words about the writing medium you choose. First -and hopefully this goes without saying – be sure to refrain from e-mailing or texting your love letter to your boyfriend! For some things in life, the formal path is the better option – and writing love letters is one of those things. Nothing says “I didn’t care enough to send the very best” than does an e-mailed love letter!

Second, make sure you choose beautiful stationery for your romantic literary creation. Soft whites are my favorite. Be sure to avoid flashy or gaudy colors. And, I suggest using black ink (brown ink is a close second). Since good stationery can be pricey, be sure to practice writing out your letter on scrap paper until you are satisfied with the words you have chosen. Then, write it out onto your good stationery when you think you are ready to create the final draft.

3. Make it substantive with good content:

Okay, now the tough part – the content. What should you write about? I suggest choosing a specific, simple theme and then sticking to it throughout your letter. Example themes include: recalling how you felt when the two of you first met, and, colorfully recounting a special dinner you had together.

Unless you truly excel at poetry, I suggest avoiding writing your own poems. Feel free to include part of a favorite love poem, but don’t make that the main substance of your love letter to your boyfriend. Rather, stick to your main theme (see above) and write just a few paragraphs. Focus primarily on how you feel and how he makes you feel. Tell him how romantic he makes you feel, and relate those feelings back to your theme.

4. Use flowery language:

Even you are likely not a poet or a professional romance writer, this doesn’t mean you should avoid poetic-sounding language. Have a little fun with your letter. Sprinkle flowery-sounding phrases like “our love,” “your scent,” “deep feelings,” and “true to you” here and there in your letter. He will be impressed, and these words will add to the overall ambience of your letter.

5. Re-write your letter a few times before sending:

Your love letter will not be perfect on the first try. In fact, you may end up writing your letter five or more times before it sounds right (see my suggestion above about using scrap paper). Hint: between each version, let your letter sit for a few hours or days and then re-read it. When you do, any particularly awkward phrases will jump out at you – those phrases should be the first to go. After a few re-writes, your letter should improve significantly.

Once you have completed your love letter to your boyfriend, it is time to send it off. If he already loves you, he will love you even more for the gesture. If he had been doubting the depth of your feelings for him, your letter should help remove that doubt. A well-written, thoughtful love letter can help strengthen any relationship, and it can bring the two of you closer than ever.

0 COMMENT   

Does it seem like you and your ex always fight even about the mundane things that doesn’t typically start a fight? Do you go to sleep mad at each other and don’t say anything to one another in the morning? If you are tired of living on pins and needles but still love your significant other, then it’s time to seek some advice on how to do a relationship rescue. Why it may seem impossible to fix your relationship, as long as there is still love and you both want to improve the relationship, any relationship can be salvaged.

How do you start with a relationship rescue? You need to follow these five steps outlined here:

First, don’t run away from the problem. All too often couples fight and walk away before resolving the issue. This is the worst thing they can do for each other. Yes, if it seems like it will get physical, both of you take a time out. However, if hurtful words are about all that will happen, take a deep breath and stop arguing with each other and certainly do not walk away. After both of you have calmed down, talk rationally about the issue.

Second, do not bad mouth the other person to people outside the relationship. This only adds fuel to the fire and your friends/family may always want to put their two cents in, making the situation even worse. While you may need someone to talk to about a particular issue regarding your partner, talk constructively about it and get advice. Sometimes, one person outside the relationship can help you see your significant other’s concern.

Third, if you both feel that the relationship rescue needs a bit more work, try talking with a professional about it. In fact, you can do one on one therapy or group couples’ therapy. If you choose to go with the latter, you will learn from other couples about the problems that plague your relationship. Sometimes you may wonder why you even fought at all when you hear other couples’ situations. Don’t be afraid to seek help from outside sources especially if you feel the relationship is worth salvaging. Find a relationship rescue source that puts you both at ease.

Fourth, remember to compromise from time to time. It doesn’t hurt to give in especially if it’s something not important enough to argue over. When it comes to money, calmly talk about what your partner wishes to do and make a compromise. You don’t have to give in on a habitual basis but at least consider every time the feelings of your partner.

Fifth, do something out of the blue for your significant other especially when they least expect it. When a relationship becomes stale and routine, do something that’s out of ordinary to keep the relationship fresh. Believe it or not, this can help heal matters in your relationship. It shows the other person you thought about them.

Now that you know the five steps for the relationship rescue, it’s time to put your plan into action. If you believe your relationship is worth saving, for whatever reason, then save it and work to continue saving it every day.

Are you thinking non-stop why your ex broke up with you? There is hope you could even win back your ex and recapture their hearts, mind and soul? Find out how using this unconventional method works like magic and why thousands have benefitted when they visit TheMagicOfMakingUp.com

Jul 21 '10 Is Your Relationship Worth Saving? Steps on How to Save a Relationship

John works all the time and Marsha does not feel that he is around the family often enough. Marsha spends most of her time taking care of the children and John feels that she does not spend enough time with him. Can this relationship be saved? Should it be saved? Here is how to save a relationship.

First, you must make a decision of whether or not the relationship is worth saving. While just about any relationship can be salvaged through hard work, both parties must make an effort. If one of the two parties is unwilling to try to restore the relationship, then there is not a lot the other party can do.

A lot of people remain in a relationship out of convenience or stay in a marriage for the sake of the children. While the needs of the children should be of the utmost importance, that is often not enough. How to save a relationship begins with both parties making a strong commitment to saving it.

Next, you need to accurately diagnose the real problem or problems in the relationship. One major challenge with how to save a relationship is that many people think the symptoms of the problem are actually the problem itself.

For example, a common misconception by a lot of people is that an affair is actually a problem that leads to break ups. The truth is that an affair is a symptom of a much deeper problem.

An example of this is if a couple doesn’t share any true intimacy, one of the partners may seek it somewhere else. Unless the problem of the lack of intimacy is dealt with, the symptoms are likely to reappear again.

Now, maybe the spouse will be guilted into not having another affair, but they may seek to fill that need in another way, like pornography. When you address the core issues that are causing the symptoms to occur, how to save a relationship becomes much easier.

After you have diagnosed the core issues, you can begin to share your thoughts and feelings. By this I mean both verbalizing your own feelings and listening to the concerns of your partner.

Hold their hand when you are talking about your problems as a signal that you strongly desire to reconnect even when your emotions are swirling. When your partner discusses things that have wounded you, remember that he/she is only doing it to try to restore the relationship.

After you have identified in detail the core issues that are causing the relationship to crumble, create a plan of action together to address and resolve these issues. Then, take immediate action on your plan.

If not spending enough time together is the issue, plan a night every week to go out together on a date. Come up with different creative things to do on these dates and make them memorable.

If lack of communication is the issue, make a commitment to spend a half hour together every night before bed just talking to each other. Then make sure to FOLLOW THROUGH with these commitments.

Finally, understand that how to save a relationship is a work in progress. Even the best relationships that last many decades have their challenges. Be slow to become angry and quick to forgive and you’ll have a much better shot at long-term success.

These are the general steps on how to save a relationship. If your relationship is worth saving, put these steps to action today and your relationship will be on the road to recovery.

Have you heard the story about the Mexican, his dog and the cactus? It goes like this, there was a British tourist driving through the Mexican desert when he saw a Mexican sitting in the shade of a cactus with his dog. The dog was howling piteously. Being a caring sort of person the tourist stopped and asked the Mexican “what’s the matter with your dog?” “He is sitting on a cactus,” replied the Mexican. “Why doesn’t he move?” asked the tourist. ” He will” replied the Mexican ” it just doesn’t hurt enough yet.”

If this brings a smile to your lips maybe its a smile of recognition. Many women put up with and underestimate the pain of not having a life partner. Or being in a relationship that never lives up to its true potential. The trouble with this response is that they stay in pain and don’t resolve the situation.

The good news is that there is an answer and its just two short steps away. First make a commitment to change. I still remember the evening I did this although its decades ago. My thought process went something like this-Eileen, you are not a stupid woman you are successful at work and have good friendships with people of both sexes. How come you are such a loser in relationships? I looked into my future and didn’t like what a saw. In my mid-twenties with a divorce and a broken engagement behind me it looked bleak. I saw the years stretching ahead with one failed relationship after another. So what was I doing wrong.

Nothing, I was pretty much going about my relationships in the way everyone else I knew did. That was the problem. Despite having success models for many things our society has none for success in personal relationships. I knew that I had to find or create my own success model otherwise I was stuck with my current problems. At that moment I made a commitment to myself and my future. It changed my entire life.

I decided that I would have a happy, joyous, successful relationship whatever it took. I was willing to invest time, energy, money to move myself away from the pain of my failed relationships to where I wanted to be.At that point I was just one step from success.

Are you ready yet to move from pain towards pleasure or isn’t it hurting enough? This little exercise will help you to find out. Choose a time when you are alone and will be undisturbed for at least twenty minutes. Sit in a comfortable chair and close your eyes. Picture your future, what will your life be like in five years from now if you don’t change what you are currently doing? Now ask yourself this question supposing I make a commitment to change and decide to find a way to have a wonderful relationship with my ideal partner what will my life be like in five years time? Now picture your future ten years ahead, you still haven’t changed the way you handle relationships? Where are you? Who is around you? How is your time spent? What’s happening in your life? Now picture the future ten years on you’ve made the commitment. You’ve invested the time; energy and money in creating a future relationship that’s all you want it to be. How does it feel to be a happy woman living in her ideal relationship knowing that you are accepted, cared for and loved?

Meeting the wonderful man with whom I now share my life was like coming home after a long abscence. I often say that the day we met was one of the best days of my life. However it could never have happened if I hadn’t made my total commitment to finding or creating a success model for my relationships.

What’s more it wasn’t just my relationship that changed almost every area of my life has benefited. I’ve enjoyed improved health, career success at a level previously unknown to name just two benefits. No longer held back by the millstone of disappointing relationships my life took off in new and promising directions.

My second and final step to having a great relationship was finding a mentor. The ideal mentor in any situation is someone who has been where you are and achieved what you are aiming at. My mentor consisted of the many psychology books I read and courses I undertook to understand the human mind and the subjects of love and relationships. I wasn’t fortunate enough to have a living mentor available.

So there you have it the two magic steps that took me and can take you from relationship disaster to relationship success. First I made a firm commitment to invest in myself and to do whatever it took to enjoy and benefit from a successful relationship. Then I found my mentor. Believing that I was worth a relationship that would bring joy into my life every day allowed me to take these steps. You are worth a joyous relationship too.

Eileen went from disaster to success in her relationships using the insights of psychology. Now qualified as a psychologist she is passionate about helping other women do the same.You can claim her six step “Love Magnet” ecourse for just

Does your partner spend long hours working and you felt that he or she is not there for you? Do you feel your partner has spent most of the time meeting the children’ needs and tend to neglect your needs? Are you thinking whether this kind of relationship can be saved?

Step 1: Decide Whether Your Relationship Is Worth Saving?
Almost all relationship can be saved but it is a matter of hard work put in to make it work. Normally, both parties must decide whether they want to get back together because if one side opt out and doesn’t want to opt back in, there is not much stuff can be done.  

Most people stay in a relationship or remain in a marriage due to the children or because it is convenient.  This is not enough as how to save a relationship starts with a commitment by both parties that the relationship is worth saving.

Step 2: Pinpoint the Exact Problems in a Relationship
You must find out the real problems in a relationship in order to save a relationship. One of the major problems among most undesired relationship is that people believe the symptoms of the problem are the problem itself.

For instance, most people think that an affair is a main problem that causes break ups. However, the affair is just a symptom of a real problem.  A lack of true intimacy can lead to a straying spouse.  While most people look at the affair as the problem, they did not realize the main cause of the affair was actually the lack of intimacy in the primary relationship. In order to save your relationship, make sure you start to handle with the core issues rather than symptoms.

Step 3: Share Your Thoughts with Your Partner
Make sure you identified the core problems behind the broken relationship and once this is done, you can begin to share your thoughts with your partner. This includes both verbalizing your own feelings and listening to your partner’s concerns.

Step 4: Hold Your Partner’s Hand While Talking About Your Problems
Try to hold your partner’s hand when you are talking about your problems. This tends to signal to your partner that you want to reconnect even when your emotions are swirling. When your partner talks about things that may hurt you, remind yourself that he or she is not doing it purposely to hurt you. Instead, they just want to improve the relationship.

Step 5: Create an Action Plan to Solve the Problems
Once you have identified the real problems in your relationship, create an action plan to solve them together with your partner. Then, take concrete steps on your action plan. If you don’t spend time together like you used to, plan a date night at least once a week. Make sure the two of you take turns to come up with creative ways to spend an evening together on your favourite day of the week, e.g. Each Friday.  

Step 6: Spend 20 Minutes Each Day to Talk to Each Other
If the main problem is not communicating, commit 20 minutes each day to talk to one another before going to bed. This will tend to help couples to understand one another better and at the same time relief some stress.

Step 7: Ongoing Process to Save a Relationship
Lastly, you should have realized that saving a relationship is an ongoing process. You are going to take two steps forward and to take one step back only. Remember to be quick at apologizing and slow to blaming. You will feel both laughter and tears while going forward and that is life. Feel it with the one you love and treasure it as memories.
