Being in a relationship is pretty much a full time job. Sometimes, it feels like you are taking care of a baby. You have to feed them, cloth them, take care of them when they’re sick and everything else that a mother has to do for their children. But what do you do when you feel that your significant other may be losing interest in you? Here’s some tips that may be helpful to keep your relationship were you want it to be.

For one, yes you do sometimes have to play mommy or daddy in a relationship. I know, if some people wanted to take care of a child, they would have some themselves, but sometimes that is just the way it has to be.

To focus on the woman for second, take your man out sometimes and pay for dinner once in a while. Guys don’t always like having to pay for everything, trust me I know. My boyfriend doesn’t mind paying for things, but just to keep it that way, I insist that I pay for something every once in awhile.

Also, keep yourself looking good. Just because you have been with this guy for some time now, does not mean that it is alright to go from a “beauty queen" to the “ugly duckling!" Dress up now and then just to keep the flame going in the relationship. You don’t have to do it all the time because they will appreciate it more when they don’t get it that often.

Most importantly ladies, guys do not like “nagging girlfriends." No one wants to be with somebody that whines and complains every time their partner is about to make a move. I am not saying agree or accept it all the time, because if they want to consistently keep going out, you’re not doing something right in the first place. All I am saying is allow sometimes. Let them watch the game on Sundays and let them go out with the fellas. That way, when its time for the two of you to hang out, you can remind him that he just went out with guys and you just want to have some alone time.

Now for the guys! Females are known for their communication skills and are therefore great communicators. They want guys to listen to them when they talk, not just hear what they have to say. Open your ears as well as your hearts and really understand them from a different point of view. Definitely not a guy’s point of view!

Next, females like to feel appreciated. This is not the 1800’s and therefore, we are a new type of woman. Don’t always depend on us to cook for you and clean for you because today, we are so much more than just a modernized house wife. So aside from all of your nagging, approach the situation differently sometimes. Cook us dinner and clean up a little, because an appreciative men are the best ones to keep. And by the way, it wouldn’t hurt to say “thanks," “I love you," or “you look good in that dress!"

Most importantly, guys, please remember that we are females. Sometimes, we might want to do things that may not be considered to “manly." But we do things for you that we don’t want to do like watch the game all day on Sundays! So please remember to be considerate.

Lastly, for both sexes, the number one rule for maintaining a healthy and happy relationship is not to cheat. Cheating gets you no where but hurt, crying and possibly in jail. No one wants that! Stay true to your partner and most of all, yourself. Do not let one night of excitement and temptation, destroy a lifetime of happiness. Even if the relationship did only last two months, the outcome is far better when you choose to be faithful.
