Add Tenderness to Your Love Life

Entice your partner to be romantic. Set the mood as early in the day as possible. If you want to have a romantic evening, it's best to begin before you get out of bed in the morning.
Never be mean to your mate. If couples would refrain from doing damage to each other's self-worth, there would be a major drop in the divorce rate. I would like nothing better than to be put out of business as a marriage counselor because there are too many happy couples.
Sympathy isn't a sign of weakness. On the contrary, it is a symbol of your willingness to connect with your mate in a way that he or she can find nowhere else in the world.
The song "Love Me Tender" didn't become a classic just because Elvis sang it. We all want to feel that emotion come our way. If you've avoided this level of intimacy or withheld it, it's time to reconsider your actions. Life is so short, let yourself give and feel at a level that will make you glad to have been alive.
