Make time for you and your partner and enjoy a happier relationship
This is a guest post.
This time of year can be a make or break time for many relationships – long winter evenings and the ever looming threat of mucking up Valentines Day puts many couples in a tight spot.
But this week we show you some top ways to banish those relationship blues meanwhile making more time for you and your partner.
Listen to each other
It might sound clichéd but often when times are tough – but sometimes just listening to what the other person is saying can be the difference between wedded bliss and the wanted section of an online dating site.
Leave town
An old English saying claims that “a change is as good as a rest. And what better way to save an ailing relationship than a romantic getaway together.
Whether its an adventure weekend hiking in the Scottish highlands or a luxury spa break at one of the country’s top hotels – nothing signals a fresh start like taking some time out of the rat race.
And your romantic stay needn’t cost the earth with a wide range of hotel and beauty vouchers available online.
Valentines Day
When it comes to this time of year – Valentines day can be a minefield for some couples.
With so many gifts on offer – what really is the best way to show someone how much you love them.
From flowers to festival tickets – the possibilities are endless but so too are the chances to get it wrong and bring your relationship grinding to a halt.
One sure fire way of keeping your partner happy is by hedging your bets and buying them some shopping vouchers – that way you’re on to a winner no matter what.
Enjoy a night out
They say its the little things that make all the difference.
And there really is no better way to boost a relationship than a low key night out with the one you love.
The options are endless, whether its dinner and drinks or an evening in front of the big screen - nothing guarantees good times quite like an evening on the town.
After a busy working week why not use the weekend to take in a trip to the theatre or enjoy a bite to eat together while waiting for the magic to happen.
Just do it
Many couples spend too much time focussing on the negative aspects of their relationship without remembering what brought them together in the first place. Take some time out to think back to what brought you to each other rather than what’s tearing you apart. Sometimes just relaxing and getting on with it can be all you need to restore your relationship to happiness.
Whatever way things pan out – hope for the best and if it doesn’t work out then there are always plenty more fish in the sea.

Diversity On Demand Giveaway!
Through the month of February, digital cable customers are poised just a “click away” from unlocking new revelations into some of the history, struggles and beauty that are an integral part of the African-American experience as part of cable’s Diversity On Demand initiative. With the ease of advanced digital cable platforms, like On Demand, viewers can learn more about African-American history at their convenience during Black History Month.
In addition to the multicultural programing, the Diversity On Demand Facebook page has been created to become an online destination where anyone interested in multicultural entertainment can join to engage with others in the community. You can learn more about what Diversity On Demand offers through interactive polls, contests, trivia and more.
Black History Month programming for Diversity On Demand includes:
Milestones in Black History: A look at the history of the struggles and strife, the tragedies and the triumphs of African-Americans in the U.S., including programming on the Civil Rights era. Everyone in the family can learn with documentaries like “The Black List” examining some of the reasons for Black History Month. And children young and old can take a trip back in time understanding the importance of historical events with “Seizing Justice: The Greensboro 4,” “On the Shoulders of Giants” and “Birds of a Feather: Tuskegee Airmen.”
Profiles in Courage: The biographies of influential African-Americans come to life with dramatic profiles and stories of acclaimed leaders and others who are not so well known—but perhaps should be, such as that of Lena Baker in “Hope & Redemption: The Lena Baker Story.”
Dramas: Programs and movies like “Independence Day” showcasing award-worthy performances from notable African-American actors such as Will Smith. You can also explore and share real-life family relationship dramas like “Braxton Family Values.”
Hearth & Home: Savor shows like “Down Home with the Neelys” that provide a look at food and other aspects of modern African-American culture and society.
Of the People: These programs exemplify the contributions made by multicultural talent, shows written by, starring, directed or produced by African-Americans, like Morgan Freeman in “Million Dollar Baby.”
Powerful Portrayals: Storytelling has always been an important part of African-American culture. Drama fans can enjoy Black cinema offerings, which chronicle the challenges of African-American protagonists in a variety of ways.
That’s Entertainment: Laugh along with comedy specials such as “Chris Rock: Bigger and Blacker,” while romantic comedies warm the heart. If music is your thing, there are shows and movies such as “Ray,” the remarkable story of one of America’s true musical geniuses, Ray Charles, that look into the past, present music-making of African-American artists.
Since this is such great programming, I have arranged for one lucky reader to win their own Diversity On Demand Prize Pack. In it you will find:
(1)Ray Movie Poster
(1)A&E Analog Rubber Slap Watch
(1)Bio. Mini Notebook
(1)Bio. Makeup Bag
