10. Rent a billboard in a location where you know your mate drives every day that clearly says, I love you, request that your mates radio station play a special song and message on his or her way to work, or if celebrating a special anniversary, have a skywriter fly by a ball stadium, park, or somewhere special where you are spending quality time together outdoors. It is not that you are so much interested in the work, but your mates life.
Unless they have told you of a crime they have committed, they are confiding in you and placing full trust in your relationship.
For example, if your mate wants to get intimate and you are not in the mood, do not say, I need to help the kids with their homework, or if something that needed to be done was not taken care of because you forgot, do not blame it on the kids by saying, I was taking care of the kids and did not have time. This is just not the case. Do not walk into a relationship with your arms loaded with that baggage. If you find that on the weekend things are lopsided, help your mate out. This kind of gesture shows your mate that you really want something special from your relationship and that spending quality time together is a priority.
Think of it like choosing a car.
