Raw Journalism

Sometimes I think we can all get caught up in our daily living requirements that we tend to forget about the important things in our lives, such as our partners. I know I am guilty of it too! Fortunately there is something you can do to improve the spice in your relationship as well as creating a higher level of appreciation for the smaller things your partner may do for you on a regular business.

It is ideal that you both talk about this before you attempt to carry out the task, that way you will also receive the benefits. Here is the plan:

• Once a month plan to do something special for your partner. This has to be something that is personal and targeted to your partner…………….you might decide to make your partner breakfast in bed, you may decide to clean the bathroom or you may decide to watch a sports game together with a platter of his or her favorite snack foods. Whatever you choose make sure this activity or act on your part is something personal that your partner likes to do.
• Set a monetary limit for what you decide to do each month. There is no point trying to “out do” each other every month on a dollar value. I would suggest setting the limit to $5 or $10, this way you have to really look at the things your partner likes to do without taking the easy road of buying a dozen roses or a bottle of aftershave.
• Keep a small notebook handy to make a list of the things your partner likes to do, we all have a lot of distractions in our daily lives and we tend to forget the smaller things our partner’s do for us and yes there are generally a number of things we take for granted. Its not intentional but we tend to behave in this way.

This can really be a lot of fun for you both and it may also show you how much your partner actually does on a daily basis for you. It will also help you to take a look at the way you behave in relation to activties your parnter may be interested in.

Here are a number of low cost activities you can do for your partner:

1. Bake him or her a cake, biscuits, muffins and wrap them in cellophane with a hand made card to tell him or her how special they are.
2. Make breakfast in bed.
3. Let your partner sleep in.
4. Make dinner
5. Arrange a family member to take care of the kids so you can have “Night In by yourselves”.
6. Complete a household chore.
7. Rent a movie that he or she would prefer over a movie you would prefer.
8. Ask for a message to be broadcast over the radio.
9. Paint your names onto a rock as a garden ornament.
10. Print a photo of you both and make your own photo frame.
