It’s the day to day things that create a romance, not the once a year big gifts or acts of romance. What did you do for the love of your life today? Here’s a big task that couples fight (against me) regularly. But it can make a HUGE difference in your relationship.
GO TO BED AT THE SAME TIME! Talk in the dark for 5 to 10 minutes. Let the other fall asleep mid sentence. I can only reiterate that this is simple, and makes an amazing difference in relationships.
Remember, we’ve harped on diet sodas forever? Well a new study shows diet sodas increase the risk of stroke 48%. 48%. How much risk is ok? Just sayin’. ~Dr. Vicky
P.S. I’d give you the link, but you might as well google it. You’re not paying attention to us lecturing you anyway.
If you read the last post, you spent 15 minutes with your spouse or other, today, you get to up the stakes! This task is soooooo simple! Give your spouse a 20 second kiss. When was the last time you gave him/her a good long passionate kiss?
Wives, BE HONEST. It’s been a while since you really kissed your hubby, right? I DARE you. Go for it. Count the seconds silently in your mind and notice the minute his knees cave. HEHEHE. Then look in his eyes and notice the change. (Of course you should brush your teeth first.)
Guys you may have to go at this a bit differently. You know your sweetheart. So if you have to give her a short peck, and look into her eyes first and say, “I love you and I want to kiss you till your toes curl.” I’m just sayin’ depending on the state of your relationship you may want to give her a little lead time.
Now go for it…report back (no steamy details please!)
Valentines Day is just around the corner. But there seems to be a bunch of couples out there who are just not “clicking”. By that I mean, they seem to be less in love, and more in conflict. So here are a string of pearls of wisdom I keep hearing myself say: Do you wanna be right or do ya wanna be happy? Is this the last argument you want to have? Why did you fall in love in the first place? When was the last time you actually shut up and listened?
These questions are usually followed by a few assignments and amazingly, couples fall back to love (notice I did not say IN love) in a very short period of time.
First assignment: Give each other 15 minutes EVERY DAY, with no distractions. (Turn off the TV, radio, put the kids in another room, or to bed, pets out of the room, phones off. I mean your complete attention on each other.) Topics are things like you talked about when you were dating…what would you do if you won the lotto? Where would you go if you could vacation ANYWHERE? Why? What is your favorite color…(I’m always surprised when spouses don’t know this.) What is your favorite food? Dream car? Dream place to live? etc.. Now go do it, and report back your results! I think we’ll both be pleasantly surprised.

Did you wake up after Superbowl and look in the mirror and think, “Did anyone see the bus that hit me?” like Dr. Mills?
Or do you know a family that is struggling with raising their kids?
We talked about that and much more today. Here’s today’s show and we hope you enjoy.
