Wow! Many of these are kicking me in the gut. Especially eating alone and I’d love to be able to do #1.

This is quite the list, Mike! If the whole world can sit down, read this and then apply it religiously to our everyday lives us humans could all live harmoniously in paradise!

Be the change you want to see is my personal motto, and trying to live this is quite a journey. My past life really seems alien to me. Thank you for your beacon of light shining bright in the murkiness….

@jeremy – I couldn’t agree more and all the power to you in building great relationships, I’m glad you enjoyed the list. I too, have much work to do to actually DO all of these things now…

@Debbie – Fun brings a lot to relationships and is often how they start but we forget to have any fun as life overwhelms us. How about adding flirting, teasing, games, sports and other fun activities to that list to help build spontaneity.

@S.Ali – This is actually my usual FIRST piece of advice anytime I am asked if I ever have marriage advice or relationship advice. Kill the distractions, focus on each other. Its really that simple.

@Dawn – This is true and great additions. Especially for intimate relationships like marriage to know what each other want and focus on that. Go for what you both desire not striving to change what you don’t like, as that is a recipe for anger and resentment.

@Sell – I know you are kidding but my best advice to have your significant other read this is to copy it into word and retitle it, “100 Things I’m going to do for XXXXXX” and put your sig.other’s name on it. Then leave it lying around your house and cross off the stuff you have done with a pen or pencil. If they notice it, surely they will read it and otherwise, you are at least working on the relationship and that will be noticed. Either way, win win…

These are wonderful tips, Mike. Thanks for sharing these. In addition, I think it’s important to decide what it is that a person wants from the relationship. I think it’s critical that one focuses on the positives of what he / she wants, not what he / she does not want. It’s important to express to one’s partner what it is that he looks forward to from his relationship, and he will be more likely to get those things specifically. This would immensely help to improve one’s relationship.

Love #7! Turn OFF the t.v. and have a real conversation. That alone would improve your relationship by at least 50%! Nice list!

I like 73. Be spontaneous with activities and have fun. This can add excitement to any relationship and make each other more relaxed and be able to live in the moment.

Relationships. Our lives don’t amount to much without them. At the end of our days, everyone looks around to see what they’ve accomplished and it always comes back to relationships. Thanks for some great ways to help me lead a fulfilled life and enjoy the people that are in it with me.
