Dating always starts off in the Garden of Eden. No, you’re not naked being set upon by serpents. You are, however, in the throes of ecstasy. You can’t wait to see this person, conversation is golden and blissful, and the sex is even better than the conversation.

Now wouldn’t it be nice if it could go on like that forever and ever. It could if you were never banished from the Garden. Well, that’s what fairy-tales are made of, not reality. What happens over time is that the conversation gets a little old, and the sex is okay and, well,
you can wait to see them if something important comes up, like you're tired or there's a good rerun on late night TV.

While it would be nice if complacency, boredom, or lost love where never a component of relationships, the reality is that all too often they do enter the picture. When things go bad in a relationship, they usually end. It takes a lot of work to keep things fresh and if you can, and do, master the techniques required you will have a long lasting relationship that may even result in marriage or at least living together. All too often, people are on such good behavior that the real personality is not known. This is dangerous when the real
personality finally surfaces after a marriage takes place and eventually ends in divorce.

There are a few simple rules to keep relationships fresh. Make complaining a minimumlist endevour. No one likes to hear
complaints, even about everyday things, and more so about themselves. Always be respectful of your love interest. Show how much you care by doing little things... like a trip to Europe...I mean holding hands; a hug; little kisses (and big ones,too). There are many
ways you can keep your love alive and they don't have to cost anything other than showing that you care.
