        I identify myself with a variety of roles in my marriage: I am respectful, a good communicator, and I'm supportive. These all sound great and they easily come to me. There are other things I can list that fall into the not so great category: I am not good enough, I am self-absorbed, and I'm critical. I'm sure you could come up with two of the same kind of lists.

These all sound great and they easily come to me. There are other things I can list that fall into the &quot;not so great&quot; category: I am not &quot;good enough&quot;, I am self-absorbed, and I'm critical. I'm sure you could come up with two of the same kind of lists. You might think that if only you could get rid of the messages you tell yourself in producing the &quot;bad&quot; list, then it would be easy street from then on. I'm sure that it would help you feel better, but you need something more to really help save your marriage and create a new environment for it to flourish in.Instead, get rid of both lists. But why, you ask, would you not want to be a good partner? I didn't mean to not be any of those things, I mean to get rid of your identity as any of these things you might have in your lists. Having an identity often means an unchanging role that you or others have conveniently plac...]]></content:encoded>

But how many married or courting couples realize just how much it applies to them and their relationship? That each of them is indeed responsible for their partner on an emotional level they probably never contemplated when they took their marriage vows before assembled witnesses. For the truth is, if they feel bad, you feel bad. And sure as heck, the relationship feels bad!Here's another question - what happens when the body next to you is out of sorts? Do you go blithely on about your day completely unaffected by that grumpiness? Of course not! If affects you. And your reaction to it affects them. Fact of life!Remember that kiddie thing - whenever you point a finger at someone, your other three fingers are pointing back at you? Could that possibly apply to feelings and relationships as well, do you think? And if it did, is it possible that pointing positive feelings at your spouse might just multiply ...]]></content:encoded>

With work, the kids, stress, soccer practice and homework, it tends to get hectic - so here are ten tips to keep your relationship comfortable, loving, caring one.. Make Time - Life is tough, hectic, and unpredictable. With all of the every day stress and pain, it's hard to make time for one another.

Make a point once a week to spend a night together, and make sure you never miss it.. Show Your Love - Show you love your spouse by giving gifts, compliments, or simply a tight, long, loving embrace every day. A little bit goes a long way, and even your work schedules conflict, or it's been a long, hectic day, a sweet kiss and a few gentle words will make all the difference in the world.

         People often think of relationship in terms of convenience, but what could be more inconvenient than having every fiber in your body touched by the timeless gifts of passion and love? Passion is not only one of the greatest gifts of life, but one of the strongest bonds of a relationship. In the early stages of a relationship, we experience attraction and infatuation.

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[ People often think of relationship in terms of &quot;convenience,&quot; but what could be more inconvenient than having every fiber in your body touched by the timeless gifts of passion and love? Passion is not only one of the greatest gifts of life, but one of the strongest bonds of a relationship. In the early stages of a relationship, we experience attraction and infatuation. The passion born out of those stages can be intoxicating. As Rumi said, &quot;If infatuation is madness, then I want to be crazy.&quot;  In my book, The Path to Love, I invite you to make a soul bargain with love in order to align yourself with love. Far more than an emotion, love is a real force. And if Love is attuned to who you are, love will respond. At the Chopra Center, we begin each day with meditation. Prior to meditating we ask people to still themselves, then gently and innocently ask the question: &quot;What do I want?&quot; As they answer this question, they place their intentions into their subconscious mind and soul.

         It happens to the best of us. Communication is such a fickle thing, and the lines of communication can become blurred every so often, especially when feelings are involved. Even those who think that they are immune to the confusion of conflict can find themselves drawn into a communication breakdown when they least expect it, and chaos ensues.

Communication is such a fickle thing, and the lines of communication can become blurred every so often, especially when feelings are involved. Even those who think that they are immune to the confusion of conflict can find themselves drawn into a communication breakdown when they least expect it, and chaos ensues. This happened to me on the weekend, and to be quite honest, it took me by surprise. Even those of us who are better equipped than many others are not immune. My partner told me something that really hurt my feelings, and I lashed back in defense. It was a silly argument, over something as simple as a misplaced bottle of aftershave. But to me, it represented something much deeper that had been simmering away for a couple of weeks. I get frustrated at having to search for something when it is not where I expect it to be. Worse still when my partner has shifted it and I don't know the first place to begin searching. Aftershave, needles and thread...]]></content:encoded>
