By Carolyn Flynn

By Carolyn Flynn

Woman need to feel loved and appreciated throughout the day. They need their “love well” filled before they can turn it on in bed. Speak positively to your lady, give her compliments, express gratitude and appreciation, tell her how much she means to you and how much you love her. Show her you love her with hugs, kisses, and tender caresses. Stroke her hair, hold her hand, put your arms around her when you are talking with her; give her gentle touches that tell her how much you want to connect with her and be with her. Listen to her. Help her with her home and family. Let her know you care about her, need her, and love her. Demonstrate in word and action how much you love her.

Share What Makes You Happy

By Carolyn Flynn

happy marriage, healthy relationship

by Carolyn Flynn

One of the best ways to feel good about yourself and improve your love life is to know what makes you happy. The easiest way to identify what pleases you is to check-in with your five senses and your childhood past.

What feels good to your Touch?
What Smells please your senses?
What Sounds do you enjoy hearing?
What do you like to Look at?
What Tastes good to you?
When you were a child what did you enjoy hearing, seeing, touching, tasting, feeling?
When you were a child what did you enjoy doing? Do it now.

Spend some time each day thinking or doing the things that make you happy and you will feel better about yourself and your life.

Once you have identified what makes you happy share what you’ve learned about yourself with your partner. The more you share the more your relationship can grow.
