-stay at my house at least 2 days a week.
-cook dinner together (not computer, no tv) at least 2 times a week.
- do something fun cheap and creative together (crafts? painting? bench? projects?) at least once every 2 weeks
-read more and share what we are reading more often.
-go on bike rides to interesting places and have adventures
-plan ahead (legitimately) and take trips (talk about seattle)
-everytime we feel annoyed or pissed off or frustrated, focus on one thing that we truly admire respect and love about to other person.
-share everything with each other. dont close doors.
-dont let necessities (aka work, schedule conflicts, money) get in the way of how we feel about each other. these things are an unfortunate part of life. there is very little you can do about them and should be an accepted part of life.
-spend time away from each other, doing things for ourselves WITHOUT the other person to fulfill our "me time" needs. be understanding of the other persons needs. even when it is inconvenient.
-realize that we argue because we love each other SO much that we care too much about the little things.
-SAY what we mean. and be real with the other person.
-understand that we are 2 COMPLETELY different people and do things and think about things COMPLETELY different from one another. AND recognize that this is OK.
ABOVE ALL.
-focus on each other DAY BY DAY and remember that tomorrow is always a new day with new opportunities and surprises.
-STAY POSITIVE AND TRY TO FIND THE ABSOLUTE BEST in every situation.
i love you.
