Ladies, I want your opinion on this:

My thoughts on serious relationships

1. First and foremost, trust. Without trust from both the relationship will not last.
2. Communication is a must from both parties. Without communication you cannot have a great relationship. Never argue or fight, talk to each other in a calm voice and never go to bed mad or upset.
3. Respect; you must respect each other for who they are and not try to change them.
4. Romance; without romance the relationship will fall apart. Leave little notes laying around for each other letting them know you care about them; leave a gift for them once in a while. Text each other or call them and tell them how much they mean to you. Fix meals together some times and cook for each other sometimes. Don’t forget to put flowers and candles on the table every once in a while. And don’t forget the wine if both like it once in a while. Fix her a bubble bath once in a while, set some candles out. Remember to hold hands often, open doors for her, flirt with her at home and in public. Give her massages when she wants one, you don’t have to be an expert, just trying means allot. Tell her how beautiful she is. Kisses; sneak up behind her and give her light kisses on neck.
5. Laughter is good for the soul and heart. Do silly little things to make each other laugh.
6. Don’t have sex, make love to her. There is a big difference between the two.
7. Say “I love you” to each other often. Tell each other how special they are.
8. Do chores together and make it fun.
9. Do things together even things that you may not enjoy doing as it will mean allot to her. You might find out you enjoy it. Guys, while she is trying on clothes in the store, hold her purse for her, it doesn’t hurt at all.
10. Cuddle up on the couch and watch a move together.
11. Be sensitive to each other’s needs. Be there for each other when needed. Offer your shoulder for the other to cry on and take care of each other when sick.
12. Take a ride to the lake/river or down a country road and enjoy the scenery, sit next to each other.
13. Men, if you’ll are watching a good movie and she gets teary eyed, it’s ok to do the same. It shows you have a sensitive side.
14. Never lie to each other and always be honest with each other.
15. Ladies, if you want your partner to please you when making love, tell him exactly what it is that you really like. Couples should be able to talk to each other about anything.
16. Remember, it takes both to make a relationship work. Both much give 100%.
