Love Advice
"Love is a feeling that comes from the heart and changes our lives forever..."

Helen Grant

Love is special and love is precious. It comes in our lives like a soft breeze and things
change forever. So when something is so valuable, we should make sure it stays with us
forever. But as it is said the path of true love never runs smooth.
So here we are with some simple suggestions to help make your love life smooth and
happy. Our love advice is simply a step in helping you see the stronger and the positive side of
your relationship. Sometimes minor arguments can lead to a lifetime of heartbreak. But it
doesn't have to be that way.
With these practical and simple love advice, you can work your way around nearly of any
crisis. So don't give up yet. And better, strengthen your love bonds; as love is richer than all the
gold put together and more beautiful than the nature itself.

Build a Bridge of Communication


The best way to enhance any relationship is through communication. If there is open
communication there is hardly any room for misunderstanding or secrets. You will feel free
and your love life will only turn towards the positive side.
But never use words to hurt someone’s feeling. Words leave a lasting impression whether
positive or negative. So speak only good things. And even if you are angry, take control and
speak after your anger has subsided. Let your heart do the talking not the ego or the anger.

Listen to Your Sweetheart


Communication and listening go hand in hand. So understand the importance of both.
When your sweetheart wants to say something, give him/her your undivided attention. If you
feel you are completely stressed out and can’t give your 100% then say it politely like,
“sweetheart can I freshen up and then we can sit and talk?” She’ll surely respect you for being
honest. See the situation and react appropriately.
When you are listening, make sure your body as well as your mind is there. You can’t be
doing justice to your relationship if you are thinking about something else. An occasional
nodding of the head will reassure your partner that you understand what he/she is saying.

Praise Your Partner


Praising goes a long way. Most of the time the person we love hear praises least. So
remember to praise your beloved once in a while. Leave small thank you chits to show your
appreciation. When among friends and family praise him/her for being considerate and
helpful. After all even the smallest gesture is an expression of love that should be reciprocated
whenever possible.

Say "I am Sorry"


Saying sorry to anybody is never easy. Most of the times our pride comes in our way. But
these three simple words are very effective, easily when it can save from building lot of
resentment.
The next time you have a fight, and you are at the wrong end say these simple three
words. If you are finding it difficult to say it in person, take some help. You can write a big
sorry note and pin it on the wall. Sorry cards and flowers are also a good way to show that you
really mean what you are saying. Let love be the only feeling that you two share, not
resentment and misunderstanding.
So keep reading these love advice and change your relationship for the better. Be together
always…
