Relationship-Romance Tip #33

Relationship Tip:

Create a personalized magazine cover for your partner.  To do this, get hold of a good quality photo of her and a copy of a popular entertainment magazine.

Take these two items to a print shop or graphic design agency.  Ask them to scan your partner's photo and develop a magazine cover with the lead story being, "The 30 Most Beautiful Women of 2009".

When you get the cover, stick it on the front of a real magazine and ask your local shop owner whether you can place it in the magazine rack. Organize to meet your partner at the shop before going out.  When she arrives, tell her that you are just looking for a magazine.  Let her browse the rack and discover her magazine.

Romance Tip:

Keep in Touch

If you are in a relationship, where your partner serves in the armed forces and is overseas or in another state on duty, away in a foreign country for school, or separated from you for one reason or another, it is important that you keep in touch with each other often.  There will be stress from the separation but by keeping in touch and informing each other of the things each person is dealing with, how they feel, etc., you will not have any break in your communication.

The goal is that when you get back together, you can easily pick up where you left off.  This is a very important time to provide each other with confirmation of your love and validation of your relationship.  While this will require some extra effort on both parts, keep in mind that the separation is not forever.
