They wake up and go to bed feeling better than the people who only make half hearted efforts towards the one they supposedly love. Mark Webb, Licensed Marriage Therapist returns with another excerpt from his bestselling book, How To Be A Great Partner.

Have you ever been minding your own business when suddenly, out of nowhere someone contacts you and unexpectedly bursts into a fit, demanding that you do something you have no idea what is and then, because you can't give them this one thing, this person starts calling you names among doing other nasty things?

Be original, your real self. People love you for what you are and not what you pretend to be. If to impress somebody you act to be somebody else you will not be able to attract the person for long. So always be yourself. Never put on what you are not.

Is your relationship healthy? Take a few minutes to read through this article and see how your relationship is doing.

Listen - do you really listen to your partner. Here listening to your partner does not mean listening to your spouse at the dinning table or when you are just sitting together and talking. Listening here really means listening with care. Listening to what has been unsaid.

It is important to keep up a relationship and for that you have to keep a light mood. Along with all the trust and faith, couple should also keep a lighthearted mood.It is perfectly fine to be silly and behave like a kid in a relationship. There should always be a touch of every age in a matured relationship. In a relationship behave like a man, a youth and a kid. It is interesting and exciting to have all shades of life in your relationship. Being a kid is one of them.

One habit worth developing, is the habit of youthfulness. Avoid the collapse of old age, where the lower abdomen protrudes, the shoulders slump, the head drops forward.

The potbelly on so many men is the true reflection, not of old age, but of collapse of the vitality of youth, the surrender to gravity. To overcome it, is simply a habit of youthfulness.

A sacred relationship takes two. Sometimes one or both people, are just not ready. To move into a sacred relationship, the individual you choose must be ready.

I recently read a study that indicated that 91% of all people in relationships were not happy. Now I can't tell you if this percentage is true, if it is an accurate portrayal of the average relationship or an exaggeration to get people’s attention. I don't know the details or particulars of the study as they were not given in very much depth. But the fact remains, that if 91% of the people surveyed felt this way, can we assume that many other people in general who were not surveyed are not happy as well? I don’t like to make assumptions but this number is really scary.

One of the best ways to keep relationships positive, regardless of whether with friends, relatives or business associates or customers is to shoe appreciation. Going out of your way often to tell people how much you appreciate what they have done, regardless of how unimportant or little it might have been, puts you in the minority of the human race. (unfortunately)
