I recently read an article in a respected online men's magazine about "15 small things" that mean a lot to the woman you love. It was actually a fairly good list. However, it got me thinking about the big picture. Everyone, no matter their gender or sexual orientation, can do small things to strengthen their relationships. These kinds of acts should occur every day, not just because Valentine's Day is coming up. They're about showing respect for your partner, yourself, and the life you have together.
Here are 5 small things that would probably mean a lot to your partner. This list is inclusive of everyone, no matter if you're female, male, gay, or straight.
1) Clean up your space. Having a clean apartment or house is a sign that you have respect for yourself and everyone who walks into it. If your partner comes over on weekends, he/she wants to know that they're walking into a safe, pleasant environment. No one wants to see a pile of your dirty underwear on the floor! If you live together, it's even more important that you both keep up with a cleaning schedule.
2) Go on dates. No matter if you've been together for two weeks, or two years, or even twenty years, going on dates is still important! Don't fall into the rut of only watching the same TV show every Friday night. Vary your time together. Everyone likes to get dressed up every once in awhile. Try new things together. Doing new things together can be a huge boost for a relationship that seems to be deflating.
3) Hold hands. It's magical. Really. Grab your partner's hand when you're walking down the street, randomly, for no reason. Grab his/her hand especially if you rarely do PDA's. Hands have the power of making a heart skip a beat.
4) Respect the need for space. No couple should be fused at the hip 24/7. Everyone needs quiet time to read, watch TV, or just veg out. Even if you and your partner live together (maybe especially if you live together!), you both need time alone and time to pursue interests with other friends.
5) Listen. Everyone needs that one person they can talk to about anything. Be that person. Don't offer well-meaning advice unless your partner asks for it. Often times, talking about a situation can be enough to help someone formulate a solution. Both men and women sometimes pretend that they can "do it all" or handle anything that's thrown at them, but that's just not true. Don't assume that your partner is Super Man or Super Woman. Be open to anything he or she has to say.
I'm sure I've missed some things on this list. This week, I'd like to know: What kinds of simple things do YOU do show your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife that you care? |

Feedback on "Romance/Love Newsletter (December 24, 2014)"
This year I will attempt to put in a jar $ for each week. $1/wk 1 $10/wk10 $25/wk 25 and $52/week 52. I should have $1,3xx by the end of 2015. I hope to be able to take my family on a little trip at Christmas or just after. -Quick-Quill 
Feedback on older newsletters:
Being mixed and in an inter-racial relationship myself this is my plan for my Nano novel-- an inter-racial couple, and my hero is the woman! The world needs more exposure to something that is becoming the "norm". People are afraid to meander away from the standard idea of a couple because they're afraid of losing loyal readers, but forget they'll gain other readers who won't be so quick to judge a book by its cover! Love is color blind, I think more characters need to be color blind as well.-🌑 Darleen - QoD 
Praises and thanks for this newsletter. I fully agree it is important to treat couples of different ethnicity, race or culture or being gay, should be shown as normal in their loving relationships; in their love and in their interactions, even arguments or divorce and especially as left behind due to death; the love and romance path with their love is just the same as any heterosexual or same race, gender, culture. It's great that you have encouraged these genres and their normalcy with all other lovers. Thank you very much. 10 stars for this issue; I just hope it brings forth some great stories. -ANN Counselor, Lesbian & Happy
