Tension release

I’m sure at one point or another everyone has heard, “you shouldn’t move in with your friends because that’s how friendships end.” That usually happens because when two people are around each other so much they find little things about the other person that they don’t like. And the shielded image of that person you have is changed because you see how the person really is and acts in the daily lives. So don’t think that you’re exempt of that chain of events with your significant other. This is why the first Key to the Door of Happiness is a Tension Release. A Tension Release is an activity or hobby the person has way from the everyday home life and as an individual apart from the spouse. Whether it be with friends or just going to workout at a gym alone or something fun they enjoy doing. This Tension Release should be a regular part of the weekly routine, which will keep things fresh around the house. Before I go any further, one thing I suggest is to NEVER work with your significant other. But if you do, or you met them at work, don’t worry that’s fine. I just wouldn’t suggest it if it’s preventable. Because time apart from each other in the daily routine is also a necessary part of tension release. When you’re around someone 24/7 an extreme level of comfort comes into play where the romantic and/or honeymoon romance becomes a distant memory and before you know it the days become a blur of monotony. The perfect combatant for monotony would be spontaneity. And that spontaneity applies to every facet of the relationship from the physical to the mental. Surprises are a great way to keep things interesting and keep the romance alive for as long as humanly possible. You will be surprised how well things will go if you keep it fresh in the physical realm as well as a few surprise “just because” gifts. Another thing that is often over looked is the women’s appreciation for the man in the relationship. Every gift giving and surprise and just general showing of appreciation for the significant other should not be one sided. As a man, I would love every now and then to be reminded that I’m loved or cherished and to get a little gift or any kind of token of appreciation. Just the thought counts and goes a whole lot farther than you would believe. Tension Release: Keep it Fresh people.
