Secrets to a Blissed-out Bond

I just want to share with you. I could definitely relate!

This is an excerpt from article of Dana Hernandez in the August issue of Cosmopolitan. Read on…

“Deliriously happy couples haven’t been blessed by the love gods---they’ve just adopted certain habits that keep their twosomes tight. Crib their relationship rules.”

“Deeply connected couples aren’t born. They’ve simply mastered certain principles that strengthen their link and maintain that initial magic.

Some women expect their man to posses romantic ESP but unless he’s been tuning in to Oprah, he won’t be able to decipher what’s bugging you and he’ll be pissed off that you’re expecting him to figure it out. Rock-solid couples however, dispense with the guessing games and vocalize exactly what’s eating them. Blissful relationships are built on strong communication, which means telling each other your thoughts and explaining what you want or need without pulling punches. Forcing your guy to read your mind while you brood only breeds resentment.”


I feel so lucky to have Xave in my life. I know he’s the one I prayed for long ago and God’s gift to me. It’s such a great feeling to be friends with you boyfriend and I can really say that the more we are together the more we become best of friends.

Xave and I have these bond-boosting thingy that we enjoy doing together. To name a few:
- foot spa every other Sundays
- going to the salon to groom our locks
- shopping together and we end up having his and hers of anything we buy =)
- playing monopoly
- watching tv/dvds
- surfing the net
- food tripping

- singing our favorite songs
- pictorials *laughs*
- sharing our dreams in starbucks
- beauty and fashion

In the process he became a metrosexual, maybe because of my influence. And I love it!!!

I strongly believe that open communication is the key to have a good quality relationship. Being together everyday is not enough if you neglect talking. Even simple updating with each other can make a difference. Our life is an open book to each one of us. We don’t keep secrets and I don’t regret it. We also encourage each other to have a life of its own---he can go out with his guy friends without me and me hang out with friends. There should be a room for growth. Not just for the both of us (as a couple) but also as individuals. Life is too short to spend it exclusively with one person. It’s not bad to have friends, we love being with our friends. We get to learn things from their experiences at the same time share ours, too.
