This year
marks 23 years since I first met my husband and entered into an incredible
partnership of adventure and exploration. It hasn’t been a picnic from
beginning to end – we struggled through some early dark days and found our way
through a commitment to making it work instead of running away.
But, are we
perfect ... whoa Nelly ... far from it. So even I can enjoy the advice that I
gained from a recent experience.
I was having
a pretty decent day until one of my coworkers revealed a bit of news. She's
having some major issues at home as she and her husband are fighting. Well, you
know me; I couldn't resist avoiding a bit of responsibility and found some
stuff about making up after a fight. Maybe you guys might be able to use it
yourself? I printed out a copy and will keep in my purse for my man the next
time we have a spat.
What is the
best way to kiss and make-up after a big fight?
1. Show them
you love them in new and exciting ways.
There are
tons of different ways to show someone you love them, and declaring your
affection in new ways is a great way to make up after a fight.
2. Try
writing them a romantic poem, even if it’s really sappy.
Sure, it may
be a very bad and sappy poem, but your lover will be much more likely to kiss
and make up with you after a breakup if you’re willing to make a bit of a fool
of yourself first!
3. Make your
sweetheart a romantic dinner, even if you’re a lousy cook.
Just like
writing a romantic poem, making a romantic dinner doesn’t involve the end
result as much as the effort. Putting
your all into preparing a nice meal will help your make up session go much
smoother and put your fight in the past.
4. Try
sending them a fun, romantic greeting card.
This one is
easier to do than writing a poem or cooking a meal, but it still goes a long
way when it comes to making up with your sweetheart. Putting a card into the mail after a breakup
is easy and inexpensive.
5. Add some
romantic flowers to the mix, whether you’re a guy or a girl.
No matter whom
they are or whether they are a guy or girl, your sweetie will love a gift of
romantic flowers from you after a fight.
Just take care to send them to a location that won’t embarrass them,
like at work, if you want to your “kiss and make up” session to go smoothly.
6. Try
taking them out for a special romantic date to mend things.
If you’ve
progressed far enough to see each other again after a fight or breakup, try
taking them out on a special date to mend the fences. Be creative and look at it as a chance to
re-discover each other and make up.
7. Look at
your relationship problems as an opportunity to grow together.
As we said
before, every romantic relationship experiences problems, fights, and even
occasional breakups. But if you look at
it as an opportunity to learn from your mistakes and grow together, you will be
much more likely to kiss and make up.
8. Try to
learn to laugh at yourself and not take things too seriously.
This one is
key. Taking things too seriously doesn’t
make anything easier, especially a breakup of fight. And if you want to make up, then you need to
learn to lighten up and laugh at yourself a little.
9. Don’t be
afraid to let them have time to themselves to heal.
Time alone
is very important in a relationship, especially so after a bad fight or a
breakup. Give them and yourself time to
heal before rushing back to make up right away.
10. Take
another look at becoming better friends.
If you can
work at becoming better friends, your relationship will be much better able to
handle fights and breakups. And when it
comes time to kiss and make up, you’ll be able to do it easier if you are
friends.
So, there
you go ... a borrowed collection of tips on how to keep your own relationship
strong, progressive and hopefully sexual adventurous every now and then!
Andee xoxo
