When relationships are troubled, the last thing either person wants is to be sexual or passionate with each other. Not the kind of listening that you do when you go out or sit at the dinner table, but a different kind of listening. 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.

Reminisce about each memento, and keep all the special times in your life close to your heart!
