Stuck.com,an online resource for romance and relationships, offers 10 New Year's resolutions for improving your relationship in 2008. Resolutions are usually about improving yourself as an individual. They're not often geared towards improving your relationship. This year, why not set a few romantic resolutions?
愛情與情感網站RomanceStuck.com日前公布了2008年改善情感關系的"十大新年決心".下決心通常是人們用來勉勵自己的,一般不用于改善個人的情感關系。可新年已至,為何不表幾個浪漫的"愛情決心"呢?
10 Romantic New Year's Resolutions to Improve your Relationship:
新年十大愛情決心如下:
1. Set a monthly 'date night' and stick to it. Even if it's just dinner and a movie or a candle-lit dinner together at home, resolve to make time for each other this year.
1.每月安排一個"約會夜",并要堅持下去。哪怕只是吃一頓晚餐、看一部電影或是在家共進燭光晚餐,總之一定要抽出時間共享二人世界。
2. Say "I Love You" every single day. These three small words carry so much meaning, yet they're never said often enough. Make sure that your partner knows you love and appreciate them every single day.
2.每天都說"我愛你".這三個字雖然簡單,但意味深長,而我們卻很少說它。要讓對方知道每天你都一樣愛他(她)、欣賞他(她).
3. Put your love in writing. Nothing gives you warm fuzzies of love like receiving a simple love note or a passionate love letter. Vow this year to put pen to paper and write your sweetie love notes, love poems, and love letters.
3.用文字表達你的愛。沒有什么比收到一張愛的字條或是一封火熱的情書更能讓人感到愛的溫暖。今年一定要多給他(她)寫甜言蜜語、情詩和情書。
4. Bring back the spontaneity in your relationship! Try sending her flowers "just because". Buy him 2 tickets to a game of his favorite sport -- and go with him! Vow to surprise your partner at least once a month.
4.讓愛情多一點驚喜!比如:送花給她,沒有任何理由;買兩張他最喜愛的體育比賽的門票,陪他一起去!做到每月至少給愛人一個驚喜。
5.Get away from it allwith a weekend get-away. Head to a cabin in the mountains or a relaxing spa. It doesn't really matter where you go, as long as you go together and leave the interruptions behind.
5. 周末"勝利大逃亡",遠離一切煩惱。一起去山中度假村過周末,或者來個SPA(水療)放松一下。其實去哪里并不重要,只要兩個人一起去,把一切煩惱拋在腦后!
6. Show your love each and every day. Give your partner compliments, hold hands, open doors, and engage in public displays of affection. It's the little things you do to show your love that always mean the most.
6. 每天向對方表達你的愛。比如:贊美、牽手、給愛人開門,公開表達愛意等。小事最能見真情。
7. Shake up your romantic life with a little creativity. Create your own love coupon book with one coupon for your partner to redeem each week of the year. These little coupons can be as romantic, sexy, or practical as you want.
7.來點小創意。自制"愛情優惠券",讓對方可以每周兌換一張。你可以自定"優惠券"內容,浪漫的、性感的、實際的,任你選擇。
8. Have fun together! Take up a new hobby together this year. Join a softball team together, take cooking lessons, golf lessons, or dancing lessons. You'll not only learn something new, but you'll have fun with your partner at the same time!
8. 一起找樂子!今年要培養一項共同的新愛好。比如:一起加入壘球隊,一起上烹飪課、高爾夫課或舞蹈課。不僅能學到新東西,還能與愛人一起分享快樂。
9. Don't forget the little things. Make him lunch. Paint her toenails. Wash and wax his car. Do her weekly chores. It's the most practical way to show your love!
9."勿以善小而不為".為他做午餐,給她染指甲,替他洗車上蠟,每周幫她做家務……這是最實際的表達愛的方式。
10. Get to know your partner better. Whether you're dating, just married, or celebrating your 25th anniversary, there is always more to learn about your partner -- and you can have fun doing it!
10. 更深入地了解對方。無論你正在"拍拖",新婚,還是結婚很多年,你總能發現還有不了解對方的地方--在了解對方的過程中也能得到很多樂趣。
