10 Simple Ways to Keep Your Relationship Alive

Most relationship start out as a huge celebration but suddenly become boring, filled with arguments and uninteresting. This could be caused by “un-understanding” on the part of the partners. To revitalize your relationship this season and always, we present you the following 10 simple ways of keeping any relationship alive:

1. Without quality time your relationship will not survive. Carve out at least an hour every evening for both of you to spend such a time exclusively together.
2. You’ll both need security and comfort. A good relationship is built on compromises and a great deal of give and take on both sides. So, reach compromises with your partner and give as well as take from each other.
3. Keep your dependence and independence in balance. Tell and show your partner how much you need him or her but don’t cling as that can make him or her feel trapped.
4. Encourage him to listen to you by showing appreciation. By the same token, show interest when he talks to you. Be aware that most men aren’t strongly wired for conversations in the way women are. They need more silence and internal time.
5. Make him appreciate you. So, don’t wait for a spontaneous compliment from him, but say something good about yourself and ask for his agreement.
6. Teach him early in your relationship how to give you a strong and intense orgasms, because its unlikely he’ll find out alone unless you let him know and ask him to stimulate you on the right place. Remind him what he does or needs to do to increase the level of satisfaction he gives you in bed.
7. Learn to do the one thing that is most likely to restore good feeling in your relationship, which is; giving your partner a genuine, loving and approving smile.
8. Often those subtle quirks that first attracted you to your partner can with time, turn around and become annoying habits. Learn to love your partner with all the warts and all.
9. Hidden resentments poison a relationship. So, if something about your partner bothers you, say it! Remember that while men are wary of emotional conversations they love to find solutions. Express your problems and then ask him to help you find solutions. Express your problem and then ask him to find the answer.
10. Learn that punishing your partner won’t work. It may make you feel better to give him or her a hard time but it’ll make him or her dig his or her heels in more. A better tactics is to reward the things you like and ignore what you don’t like.

Men are born to cheat, don’t leave your man because he cheats – Funke Adesiyan

Nollywood actress Funke Adesiyan has told Nigeria women that cheating does not make their male partner a bad person, but only validates him as a man.

The actress said that women should look beyond the flaw of cheating and focus on the way their men treat them, adding that leaving a man because he cheats is like relocating from Nigeria to America because it rains.

She wrote via her Instagram page, “Leaving a man because he cheats is like relocating from Nigeria to America because of rain. News flash: it rains everywhere. Find a good man who loves you and appreciates you. Every other thing can be worked on. Men are naturally born to cheat. Look beyond this flaw and focus on how he treats you.

“Good morning guys. I read many comments from my last post and I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s funny that it’s women who are answering for their men that the men don’t cheat on them. My sisters, let the men answer for themselves. The truth is a bitter pill to swallow.

“You cannot answer for people. I stand by my position 100%. I know that as a modern woman, we aim to break away from the norm and be as westernized as possible but believe me, it happens everywhere. It’s only those who got caught that is referred to as offenders.

“Not many men can sincerely say they have been with only their partner for 10yrs without “playing”. It doesn’t make them bad people, it just makes them men.”
