You were happily married. May be for a while. And you split. It can be imagined irrespective of the length of a marriage, a divorce does leave immovable scars. And the mere thought of seeing someone again can be dissuading. Love is all about being vulnerable to someone – why go through it again?

I am no expert at love. The very word makes me nauseous and sets my body to a defensive mode. But I have had my heart broken once or twice. Badly. By some pathetic loser by the way. Lucky for me, I'm a quick learner. I made ridiculous mistakes of cosmic proportions and learnt a thing or two.

As relationships mature, grow and develop people can sometimes forget the little things that can have a positive impact on the quality of the relationship. I put these in three categories: Simple courtesies, simple pleasures, and simple words.

When you were dating you carved out time for each other, no matter the pressures of everyday life. You could not fall in love without that time together. This begs the question; don’t you think to sustain that love that you must also make time for one another even now?

When searching for love and a good relationship always take caution and remember that love may come when you are least expecting it to arrive.

Has a bad relationship left you feeling drained and powerless? One simple change in your thinking will give you the motivation to move forward and the strength to rebuild your life.

Relationships can be so exciting at the start. It’s a time when you just can’t wait to see each other, spend every spare minute dreaming about each other and just can’t keep off the phone. Unfortunately as the relationship develops into a comfortable routine, the excitement generally recedes, the need to touch base becomes more infrequent and a period of normality sets in. For many, the excitement is in the chase and for others the feeling of commitment can become a strain, the recognition that the love of your life is only human and has their faults makes you question your judgment, and the disappearance of those little surprises can out a dampener on the whole thing.

Complacency like many other common marriage problems is a bit like the plague. It's catching and it spreads, you don't hear it and you don't see it and by the time you realise what is happening the damage is done.

Lonely. That's what Janette felt when her husband didn't kiss her goodbye before leaving for work. Sometimes his forgetfulness in this area brought her to tears.

The perfect kiss will help lock you in with the man or woman of your dreams and will put you down in his / her memory banks forever! But, how do you achieve the perfect kiss? Each person has different feelings about the way they like to be kissed. A general rule for the first kiss is to be soft and brush his / her lips gently, without thrusting your tongue into your partner's mouth as if you were playing tonsil hockey.

In a newspaper last November 25, there was article about observing an International day for elimination of violence against women. It is heart-warming that finally the international world is starting to recognize that violence against women is a growing issue and they need to find a solution to it but after pondering this issue for quite some time I came to the following conclusions:

We frequently make decisions about love relationships based on fear, disillusionment, or a belief that we have to settle. We are afraid that we aren’t going to find anyone who will cherish us and accept our faults.

Emotional and physical abuse is believed to be only for women. Men are the abusers and women the victims. Don't women abuse men? Yes they do get abused and mercilessly. A woman can be brutal when it comes to blames and accusations.

The fact of continually hearing so many stories of love and relationships, including all those breakdowns make us wonder if love really exists anymore in this world.

Detecting deception is more difficult than most people realize. Is someone lying to you or telling you the truth? It is often difficult to determine.

This is a guaranteed formula that will help you improve all of your relationships!

Being romantic is wonderful and all, but unfortunately, we all make mistakes that can undo all of our romantic efforts. Not to mention, possibly undo the relationship!

Do you really listen? I mean really listen to yourself and others.

This Holiday Season, instead of fighting the unsettling feelings,sink into them. Remember that all transitions have wonderful moments and scary moments, and that by staying connected to your feelings, you can navigate yourself to a more fulfilling and authentic New Year.

Self image and self confidence can make or break your relationship. The more confident you are with yourself, the easier it is to avoid arguments and fights with your significant other.
