    Hi,
    Hope u guys like this,

    Relationship Secrets . . .


    ANNIVERSARIES
    Always celebrate! Whether it's the 1st or the 50th, each year together is a triumph.

    APPRECIATION

    Let each other know how much you appreciate each other. You may already know but hearing it from each other is always better.

    BEST FRIENDS

    Be best friends preferably before being boyfriend-girlfriend. Take time to know each other so the relationship will be a deep one. Tell each other about your crushes, dreams and problems. Make sure he/she is your best friend before getting engaged. The strong bond of friendship will help you both survive tough times.

    BOND

    Make it a point to spend time together often but leave room for each other. Also spend time alone w/ each other, so that at the end of the day you could both share your experiences. This way, you stay interesting with your partner.

    CHANGING EACH OTHER

    Don't marry an as...le, j.... or a bi.... (an unsuitable person) You'll never change each other.

    COMPLIMENTS

    Always compliment each other. This will prevent feelings of resentment & thinking that one is being taken for granted.

    Hi Rajjo,
    That was a real good post. It makes you think as you read it and also kinda wonder whether we follow all that is said here. The magic in a relationship needs to be nurtured only after a few years of being married, thatt's the time your comitmnets increase and you hardly find time for each other.
    Thanks and will make sure to keep these wonderful words in mind.:-D
