Start a Journal Keep your personal feelings and discoveries about your mate in a journal. This is not a time to date other people, but to enjoy preferred activities. When stress is low, couples get along better.

This can be with just the two of you, or with several close friends. Are there definite things missing or definite problem areas that need to be worked on? 60. Getting Married If your relationship has moved to a set wedding date and the countdown has started, do something unique and fun. If one of you masters something special, receives a promotion at work, or achieves some great feat, there could be a small spark of jealousy on the other persons side. You get the idea.
No Debates If you know that you and your mate have proven differences in opinion on certain subjects, avoid those subjects.
Whether married or dating, if there are kids involved, it is crucial that they are not used as pawns in any situation. 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. In the first scenario, be honest with your mate and tell them that you are very tired and while intimacy is important, you would prefer to make sure the kids are in bed on time so the two of you can have some quality time together. This opens an honest line of communication and does not place ill feelings on the kids, especially since it is not their problem to begin with.
