Finding Your Love Style

  • Romantic love: Based on passion and sexual attraction
  • Best friends: Fondness and deep affection
  • Logical: Practical feelings based on shared values, financial goals, religion etc.
  • Playful: Elicit feelings by flirtation or feeling challenged
  • Possessive: Jealousy and obsession
  • Unselfish: Nurturing, kindness, and sacrifice

In our most committed relationship, we feel a combination of two or three different forms of love. Understanding what forms of love your partner appreciates can help your relationship.

Reignite Romance

Romantic and passionate love can fade over time and mature into a committed love.

Couples can rekindle the sparks of early courtship simply by doing something novel together. Studies show that partners who regularly share new experiences report greater boosts in marital happiness.

Physical Intimacy

Committed couples do have more sex than everyone else. But Americans who are not having that much physical intimacy are just as happy as their more active counterparts.

Sexual frequency declines 3.2 percent a year after the age of 25. But the good news is that what married couples lack in quantity they make up for in quality. *

Staying Faithful

Ways you can protect your relationship:

  • Avoid opportunity. Avoid situations that could lead to bad decisions, such as late nights with colleagues.

  • Picture your beloved. Focus on loving thoughts and the joy of your family.
  • Keep your relationship interesting.

Handling Conflict

Learn to fight constructively. The aim is to leave you feeling better about your partner.

  • Identify the complaint, not the criticism.
  • Avoid "you" phrases. '"You never" and "You always" followed by criticism.
  • Consider your pronouns. Starting your sentence with "I" or "We" will help identify problems, rather than blaming.
  • Body language. No eye-rolling, folded arms, or crossed legs. Look at your partner when you speak.
  • Learn to de-escalate. Useful phrases include "What if we...", "I hear what you're saying..."

Why Couples Fight

Fights about money are really about a couple's values and shared goals and seldom about finances itself.

  • Be honest about all your spending.
  • Maintain some financial independence. Both sides can have their discretionary pot of money to spend on whatever they want.
  • Invest in the relationship. When you do have money to spend, spend it on the relationship.

The top three predictors of a happy marriage among parents are:

  • Sexual intimacy
  • Commitment to the relationship.
  • Generosity. It's about sharing, caring and kind gestures you make toward your partner every day.

Make It Last

  • Stay generous toward your partner. Continue to express your affection. Do small things for your partner like bringing them coffee.
  • Personal growth. If your partner is helping you become a better person, you become happier and more content.
  • Be decisive. Intentionally define your relationship.
  • Invest in relationships with friends and family.
  • To strengthen a marriage, consider asking less. That means leaning on others for emotional support from time to time.
  • Watch a love story. A movie about relationships can help couples work out problems in the real world.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
