The Perfect Relationship

As a couple, it is easy to wake up one day and find ourselves far off-track from where we intended to be. At the beginning of any relationship we all have great ideals of how the future will be, but without the right plan it can be difficult to achieve these.
This week, take some time out to tell each other what you would consider to be your perfect relationship. Start by separately making a list of everything you perceive would be in a perfect relationship.

Some examples may include the following...

* We both enjoy a sunset dinner one time a month.
* He helps with housework when I need it.
* She makes dinner every night.
* We make love at least three times a week.
* We always kiss before parting.
* She asks how my day went.
* He gives me a hug first thing when he comes home.
Make your list as detailed as possible. Add everything you think of, even it feels insignificant or silly. When you're done compare lists. First, look for common items that appear in both lists. Those should be the first things that are placed in the final list.

Then, talk about your other ideals and come to compromises or agreements as to whether to keep them on the final list or not. When you are done you will have a blueprint for your personal perfect relationship. Whenever things start to feel off-track, take some time to review your list together and see where things have changed from your original thoughts and considerations. It is much easier to see where things have changed, and communicate your concerns to your partner, when they are written right in front of you.


No matter the distance between our hearts, I will pay for the long distance calls to hear your heart
