Happily Ever After Can Be Real!

Everyone wants their relationship to be the one that lasts forever. It is a known fact that most marriages end up in divorce, and that's a very sad fact. Now most girls wonder what they can do in order to keep their relationship going. Here are some things that you can do.

1. Be neat. I know that a lot of guys out there are quite messy but it is your job to keep everything neat, including his stuff. I know that I used to be very messy and I am improving right now due to the fact that Jonathan has OCD, (Im not kidding.) It is a woman's job to keep everything neat and clean so that he doesn't feel like he is living with a piglet (even though he might be a piglet himself.)

2. Do things for him. A good wife will have food ready for her husband when he comes home. Now I admit that I don't cook every night but I am trying to learn more recepies so that I can do that. A guy thinks with his stomach a lot of the times. When you greet him with a nice dinner, he will appreciate you that much more because nowadays, not many women cook.

3. Take care of yourself. This is a big thing. I know that a lot of girls, after being in a relationship with one guy for a long time feel comfortable enough to let themselves go. Trust me girls, even if he loves you, he wants a hot chick next to him, not a slob who doesn't care about her appearance. You must shower daily, which I am sure all of you do. You must do your hair and makeup and don't go out looking like a homeless person. Always dress nicely. It will pay off. He will want to show you off to his friends and he will be proud that he is with you.

4. Let him do his own thing. Don't be too controlling. A lot of us have that problem. We start thinking, "What is he doing?", "Why isn't he calling me?". Trust me girls, he needs his alone time just as much as you need yours. He is a guy, and there are certain things he can't do with you around. He needs to do boy stuff and you should let him or he will feel trapped.

5. Don't accuse him of things or nag. I know I whine a lot, and it drives Jonathan absolutely crazy. Be a lady. Don't act like a two year old with no life, because thats what he will see when you whine or nag. Also, don't accuse him of things. If you fight, don't accuse him of starting it or continuing it. Remember, it takes two to tango. If you accuse him constantly, he will not want to be around you because he will feel like you will always find something bad in him. It isn't a good feeling.

6. Compromise! I know I talked about this in another post, but I can't stress this enough. Compromise is everything. Your relationship is a partnership. It's like a business, you make deals and sign mental contracts. If you want to buy something and he doesn't, buy something you both like. That's compromise, and it is a VERY big deal.

7. Be giving. My dad always taught me that I shouldn't act like a princess who needs her guy to do everything for her. PAY FOR DINNER SOMETIMES! He will respect you more and see that you aren't there to use him. I get anal when it comes to who pays for dinner when me and Jonathan are out. I want to pay every time. Don't act like a princess. He deserves respect too.

8. Act like a lady. No guy wants a man beside him unless he is homosexual. Don't act like a guy and burp or fart in front of him. Even if you are comfortable with your guy, it doesn't mean that you can forget your manners. You aren't a truck driver. You are his girlfriend. Be a lady and he will treat you like one.

So these are the tips I have today. I hope it helps in making your relationship, or marriage a happily ever after!
