20 WAYS HAPPY COUPLES MAKE THEIR RELATIONSHIP FRESH, FUN AND BEAUTIFUL

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> A fresh, fun and beautiful relationship doesn’t just happen; it has to be worked at. Just like your body will only stay in shape if you eat the right foods and exercise, a relationship will only remain healthy if you do the right things.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXgxB-8OtzljaYxVtN5KpJ9muVLYbg_5UsjelxKvc9JepIMMYYi0ws5-XI9sL0-hmqAxltUlX9GOhpqbwcLSkk74IbQCN4BlgsZbr6Q9rIZoUGN_aID0exdWq3xc5ZxqG5QAYKpESAePo/s1600/love.jpe" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXgxB-8OtzljaYxVtN5KpJ9muVLYbg_5UsjelxKvc9JepIMMYYi0ws5-XI9sL0-hmqAxltUlX9GOhpqbwcLSkk74IbQCN4BlgsZbr6Q9rIZoUGN_aID0exdWq3xc5ZxqG5QAYKpESAePo/s400/love.jpe" width="400" /></a></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <br /></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> If you expect to be able to come home from work, make dinner and watch Netflix in silence with your partner each and every day, the routine will erode your relationship. Even if you cuddle.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> With more divorces occurring now, than ever before, it is high time that couples learned how to weather the ups and downs. There will invariably be storms in any relationship, and there will always be moments of stagnation and boredom. To keep things fresh, fun and always beautiful, let’s take a look 20 things you can do.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Talk To Each Other Openly</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The moment the two of you stop communicating openly is the moment your relationship starts to go on a slide. If you feel as though you can’t speak to one another about the important things out of a fear that an argument will erupt, it’s a sure sign that you aren’t dealing with things in the right way.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Happy couples embrace conflict; they want to hear what the other person has to say, and they will argue their points constructively.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> But it is also the little things you need to remember to talk about. All too often, conversations are disrupted by our phones and laptops. Remember to switch your electronic devices off now and then and talk to your partner about how you’re feeling. Ask them how their day was.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; float: none; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin: 15px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; z-index: 953;"> </div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Take A Vacation Together</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> One of the reasons a lot of relationships hit the rocks is because couples just don’t go on vacation enough. One of you is always busy with work, and your schedules just conflict. In fact, the only time you get to have any kind of break together is at Christmas when the in-laws pop round for a game of Scrabble.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> You need to take vacations together more often to keep things fresh and FUN. You get to relax together, explore together, go on adventures together, get lost together, and even meet new friends together.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Laugh Together!</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Laughter really is the best medicine. It makes everything seem SO much better.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> If your relationship is getting a little <i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">bland</i>, you probably need to take things a little bit easier and embrace laughter. Stop being so serious and do something that you know will get you both giggling. Watch a comedy together, watch some funny YouTube videos together; play pranks on each other, go trick or treating together, tell each other jokes, or play tag in the park while old people watch you and wonder what is going on. Unleash the child inside you and lighten up!</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Make Love In Different Places</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> It’s really important that couples have some fun beneath the sheets, but in long-term relationships it is often the lovemaking part that gets marginalised. Everything becomes so routine that, far from making love 4 times a week anymore, you’re lucky if you get together once a month.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; float: none; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin: 25px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; z-index: 952;"> </div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> To freshen things up, why not try being a bit riskier and making love in different places? Explore each other, but also explore different locations. You could try the kitchen, the shower, the spare bedroom, the hallway…and you could even try it in someone else’s house. The risk will increase the fun.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Switch Up The Roles</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> So, you’re looking to inject a bit of fun into your relationship; in that case, why not switch roles?</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> If you cook, let your partner cook for once. If he drives, you should drive instead. If it’s always up to you to choose the movies, let him choose the movies. If he always goes to the game, YOU should go to the game and see what it’s all about.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Make Compromises</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> A relationship could never be beautiful if there are no compromises. If you’re in a relationship that thrives on the motto “My Way Or The Highway”, it could turn out to be one pretty ugly relationship.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Happy couples make compromises. They make sacrifices. The guy might not want to miss his 70th consecutive Lakers game this weekend, but if his partner is pleading with him to go and see her mother on her birthday with her, he will do it because he cares and knows that the key to a happy relationship is compromise. It can’t be “me me me” all the time. There has to be some give.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Surprise Each Other</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> What kills relationships is the humdrum of it all.

When you know what to expect, day in and day out, you grow so accustomed to it all that you become numb to it. You become bored.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> That’s why you should surprise each other now and then. You should return from work one evening with a surprise for your partner that you know will brighten up their day. And they should do the same for you.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Surprises are not only awesome for what they are, but they also remind you that you’re in a loving relationship with someone who cares.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ditch The Routine</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> You always have pasta on a Monday, you make love on a Sunday, and have move night on a Saturday.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Isn’t it time you broke the familiar routine and mixed things up a little?</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Their Family Is Your Family</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> If you want your relationship to be beautiful, it’s imperative that you get along with your partner’s family, and that they also get on with yours. Even if you are a little bit unsure about them at first, you should make an effort to get to know them and like them. Find something to talk to them about, buy them a gift, ingratiate yourself with them. Your partner will appreciate the effort, and it will make your relationship a lot stronger.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Say “I Love You” Often</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> If you say “I love you” all day, every day, it will begin to lose its meaning.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> But if you say “I love you” once in a blue moon, the other person will begin to doubt your feelings.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> So you need to strike the right balance. More “I love you’s” are better than less, and few of us (if any) get sick of hearing these three words. They just don’t get old. Try to say it at least once a day to your partner, and think of ways to say it creatively. Leave a love note in the morning before work, or write it on the bathroom mirror.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Be There When They’re Sick</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Nobody likes being sick. When we’re sick, we feel incredibly vulnerable and we rely on the help of others. Your partner relies on YOU when they’re sick, which means that you simply have to be there for them. This means cancelling plans, heading out in the rain to pick up medication and cooking dinner.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> You shouldn’t complain. A relationship is only beautiful if you’re prepared to put the effort in, when times get tough.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Share Most Of Your Time With Your Partner</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> We’re not saying that you should share <i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">all </i>of your time with your partner, and indeed sacrificing every single football game for their spouse is anathema for hardcore football fans; but what we are saying is that <i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">most </i>of your time should absolutely be dedicated to your partner.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> If you and your partner are only spend bits and pieces of your time together, your relationship as a whole will invariably suffer. Happy couples are couples that spend time together. They don’t have dinner together each night and consider it to be the bedrock of a lasting relationship; they go for walks together, cook meals together, go on vacations together, and share in one another’s interests and hobbies.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Try New Things Together</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> There is no better way to keep a relationship fresh than by trying something new <i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">together</i>.

It’s natural; after all, both of you have busy lives and as a consequence, you find it hard to find something new to do.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> But it is fundamentally important that you both do find something new to do. This could be anything, from taking up night classes to supporting a new sports team. More than anything, new things are FUN.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Talk About Your Dreams and Ideas</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Dreams are fun; they give us hope for the future, and we would be nothing without hope.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> But rather than keeping your dreams to yourself, you should share them with your partner. Shared dreams and ideas can reignite a relationship, infusing it with imagination and aspiration.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The problem with a lot of relationships is that dreams just aren’t discussed; we keep things to ourselves, expecting that we’d never be able to realise the dreams anyway. By sharing them, you’re giving you and your relationship something to work towards.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Stay On The Same Page</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> A relationship can only be beautiful if you’re both moving in the same direction. If one of you is pulling one way, and the other is pulling another way, you’re going to be out of sync. This can lead to conflict and disaster.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Staying on the same page requires honesty, openness and communication. There will be fights, and there will be disagreements. But staying in sync is crucial to a strong relationship, and you can only do this by talking about your plans with your partner.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You Need To Be Willing To Forgive</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> We all make mistakes. Your partner has made mistakes in the past, and so have you. But if neither of you is willing to forgive the other person and move on, your relationship is going to be in trouble.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Happy couples know the value of forgiveness, and they are willing to accept apologies and move on for the good of the relationship. They can see the bigger picture, and they can see how grudges will only splinter the relationship over the longer term.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> It’s time to put down your pride and forgive your partner. This will restore harmony and trust.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">You Should Be Ready To Serve Your Partner</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> A fractured relationship is one where, if you ask your boyfriend to pop to the shops for the ingredients for dinner, he’ll complain that he’s in the middle of something on his Xbox and order a takeaway instead.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> In strong, happy relationships, couples are always willing to go the extra mile for their partner. If this means pausing a movie to nip to the groceries, so be it. If it means cooking dinner tonight because your partner is stuck in a traffic jam, so be it. And if it means missing the Penguins because your mother-in-law is stopping by, so be it!</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Date Nights Are A Must</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> As mentioned earlier, couples are busier than ever before in 2015. We spend more of our times with our work colleagues than we do with our partner, and this really sucks.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> For this reason, it’s so important that you schedule a date night at least once every 2 weeks. Date nights help a relationship to avoid any niggling cracks by bringing you closer together. You can go for a romantic meal, take in a comedy night, or go for an evening drive.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Lose Your Bad Habits</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Whenever we get together with someone, they have a few habits that we dislike but overlook. But as time wears on and we get into a serious relationship with them, we’d really prefer it if they ditched these bad habits.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Happy couples discuss these habits and are willing to lose them for the sake of the relationship. These habits might include eating meat, talking loudly in public, smoking or drinking too much alcohol. Whatever they are, you should be prepared to make changes for your partner.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Carry Out Small Acts Of Kindness</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> It’s your partner’s day off work but you have to be in the office for 9am. You can either grump about this and make your partner feel guilty, or you can do the right thing and make them breakfast in bed to show them how much you care about them, and that they deserve their time off work.</div> </div>

Originally, parsley wasn’t even used as a seasoning; it was cultivated for its medicinal uses. In ancient Greece, parsley was viewed as being a sacred plant and it was used for decorating tombs and as a badge of honour for victorious athletes. The herb, which is related to celery, is extremely nutritious and it contains potent compounds that can help to protect you against cancer and boost your immune system. It contains vitamins C, K, and A, and it also has many minerals including iron calcium and potassium. The herb has many more nutritional benefits than most people realise, so here are ten of the amazing health benefits of parsley.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1. Reduces inflammation</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Parsley can be very useful for people who suffer with arthritis. It contains a volatile oil called eugenol, which is a known anti-inflammatory that can significantly reduce swelling and ease pain in the joints and elsewhere in the body.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Parsley is a good source of antioxidants</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Parsley is a rich source of the antioxidants that fight the damage to cells that can be caused by free radicals. The antioxidants in parsley include the flavonoid lutein, which is particularly good at fighting oxidative stress in the body. It is also a good source of vitamins A and C, both of which also have antioxidant properties.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3.

It contains two compounds, apigenin and myristicin, that actively promote the production of the enzymes in the liver that are responsible for removing toxins from the body.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; float: none; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin: 15px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; z-index: 953;"> </div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4. It has anti-bacterial properties</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Parsley is a super source of the antibacterial agent chlorophyll, which fights bacteria in the body and can help stop infection. It’s also very good for killing the bacteria in the mouth that cause bad breath, so chewing on a sprig of parsley after a meal could help you avoid being embarrassed by bad breath later on in the day.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Controls diabetes</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Parsley was traditionally used in Turkey to treat people with diabetes, and the ability of the herb to control blood sugar levels was proven in scientific tests. Researchers at Marmara University in Istanbul tested parsley in rats that had diabetes and found that consuming the herb over a period of one month reduced the blood sugar levels in the test subjects.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">6. Reduces the risk of cancer</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Regular consumption of parsley could also reduce the risk of cancer. Parley contains high levels of a flavonoid called apigenin, which is believed to help prevent cancers like skin cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer. Apigenin is also an antioxidant and it has powerful anti-inflammatory properties.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">7. It protects the heart and the blood vessels</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> There is an amino acid that can cause damage to the blood vessels and to the heart called homocysteine, which parsley can help to combat. Parsley contains a good amount of folic acid, or folate, which reduces the amount of the harmful homocysteine enzymes in the body. This can be useful in helping to protect against both strokes and heart attacks.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; float: none; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin: 25px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; z-index: 952;"> </div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">8. Strengthens bones</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Just two teaspoons of parsley will provide you with more than 150% of your daily recommended amount of Vitamin K. Vitamin K is used by the body to produce a protein called osteocalcin, which is used in the process of creating and strengthening bones. Vitamin K also stops calcium from building up in tissues in the body, which, if the calcium gets too high, can cause cardiovascular disease.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">9.

Maybe you’ve exhausted the usual stuff, such as going to a bar before hitting the clubs. Maybe you’re looking to do something different with them to keep things interesting. If so, let’s take a look at 9 fun things you can do with your friends.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Go Volunteering Together</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Volunteering with your friends is certainly something different, but as well as being fun it’s also hugely rewarding.

Someone brings the guitar, someone brings the drinks, someone brings the food, while someone else brings the fishing rods.

Barbecue’s are a great way of bringing people together for some good food and drink, as well as some laughs and catching-up. They take you away from the usual meet-up places, such as pubs and coffee shops, and give you all a chance to relax in each others’ company and have some fun.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Later on in the evening, you can take things indoors and whip out the board games or movies.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Play A Sport In The Park</i></b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Sports were often the number 1 thing we looked forward to playing when we were kids (in the summer anyway), so why not rekindle your fondness for team sports by organising a sports day down the park with your friends?</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 19.7999992370605px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> You could all play basketball, baseball, soccer or netball; whatever you choose!

If you do it right, though, then making all the arrangements yourself can be fun and exciting, so here are ten tips to help you plan your own wedding:</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">1. Buy a wedding planning book</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> You are certainly not the first person to have planned your own wedding, do there are plenty of good wedding planning books that you can buy. They include useful hints and tips, to do lists, and blank pages for you to write down contact numbers, supplier details, and spaces for pictures so that you can keep a record of the preparation for your wedding as well.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2. Set your budget first</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Weddings can be very expensive and it’s easy to get carried away! Make sure that you plan your budget before you start spending and then you won’t find yourself running out of money toward the end of the planning period.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">3. Work out your guest count early on</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Much of what you spend on your wedding will be dependent on the number of people that you are going to invite to your wedding, so work out the numbers early on in the planning. You can’t even start to look for venues, until you have done this.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; float: none; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin: 15px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; z-index: 953;"> </div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">4. Get some help</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> There will probably be no shortage of volunteers, so get some help with your wedding from friends or family and don’t try and do it all yourself. Be firm, though, and make sure they remember whose wedding it is, because everyone has their own idea of the perfect wedding.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">5. Don’t get forced into doing things that you don’t want to do</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Never lose sight of the fact that this is your day, not your families! This can be a bit tricky, especially if your family is contributing to the cost, so ask for their input, but take the decisions yourself.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">6. Too many cooks spoil the broth</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Everyone loves a wedding and everyone loves shopping, but, be careful not to have too many people with you when you are buying things for your wedding. Choosing the dress can be the worst for this, because if you take too many people with you, will never be able to reach a decision.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">7. Spend as much as you can on the photos</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> If you are working to a tight budget, try not to make the photos the thing that you cut back on. A good photographer can make all the difference to the quality of your photos and those pictures are the memory of your day that you will want to keep forever.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; float: none; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin: 25px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; z-index: 952;"> </div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">8. Shop around for everything</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Never accept the first quote for anything, be that the venue, the catering or the flower. Shopping around will not only save you some money, but it might also give you some ideas that you hadn’t thought of.  Also, don’t be afraid to haggle over price because the suppliers want to get your business, so their first price is not always their last.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">9. Be prepared to make cuts to your guest list</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Everyone’s first inclination is to invite everybody they know to their wedding and then budget around that number. Remember that much of the cost per wedding is a cost per guest, so the fewer guests, the more you can spend on each person.</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <b style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">10. Have fun doing it!</b></div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Allow yourself plenty of time to plan your wedding and take days off as well. It can be a stressful experience, if you let it get to you, so try and have fun doing it. Get the help when you need it, and take advice from suppliers too. This is a once in a lifetime experience, so enjoy it!</div> <div style="background: none 0px 0px repeat scroll rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30.6000003814697px; margin-bottom: 1.6em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> How to plan your own wedding? Do you have some other tips?</div> </div>

Then you should simply fall asleep! It may sound crazy, but it is true – there are foods that can help you fight fat even when you are fast asleep. I can bet you have never paid great attention to certain fast fat-destroyers. Get aware of them now:</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <a href="http://www.gistblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/This_Four_Foods_Burn_Body_Fat_While_You_re_Sleeping_700x366.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #f00994; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="This_Four_Foods_Burn_Body_Fat_While_You_re_Sleeping_700x366" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-739" height="335" src="http://www.gistblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/This_Four_Foods_Burn_Body_Fat_While_You_re_Sleeping_700x366.jpg" style="border: 0px; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> 1. Citrus fruits Citrus fruits (oranges, bitter oranges, blood oranges, mandarin oranges, lemons, Ichang lemons, limes, key limes, Persian limes, Australian limes, grapefruits, pomelos, clementines, calamondins, oroblanco, rangpurs, sweet limettas, tangerines, Taiwan tangerines, tangors, ugly fruits, yuzus, sudachis, and other ) are abundant in C vitamin, which naturally fires up your body’s fat burning capabilities. Citrus fruits are also high in fiber which helps push the fat out of your body once it’s been broken down.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> 2. Legumes Legumes are a significant source of proteins, dietary fiber, carbohydrates and micronutrients including folate, thiamin, manganese, magnesium and iron. Proteins in legumes take longer time to be broken down in our bodies. Therefore, they require more calories to be burned. Eating a bean broth or a bean salad for dinner can keep your metabolism going long into your sleeping hours. And you won’t get bored with them because legumes are among the most versatile and nutritious foods available. They include lentils, split peas and a lot of good varieties of beans</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> 3. Whole grains Grains, especially whole grains, are an essential part of a healthy diet. A whole grain is a cereal grain that contains the endosperm, germ and bran, in contrast to refined grains, which retain only the endosperm. Whole grains help to keep insulin levels low while you sleep. Some whole grains (like quinoa) are considered complete proteins (containing all 8 essential amino acids), once thought to only come from animal proteins or a combination of plant-based foods. All types of grains are good sources of complex carbohydrates and some key vitamins and minerals. Yet, whole grains (thanks to the fiber, germ and bran) are loaded with B vitamins, magnesium and other important nutrients. A tip: Whole grain snacks like granola bars or a bowl of oatmeal are the best late-night snacks!</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> 4. Dairy products A dairy product or a milk product is food produced from the milk of mammals. Milk is rich in minerals and is an excellent source of calcium and phosphorus. Milk and dairy products, specifically their calcium levels, can help stimulate fat cell breakdown. Milk can also help to keep your blood sugar levels low because it contains complex carbohydrates. The best thing about dietary changes, such as this one, is that they are easy to maintain. The more consistent with your diet you are, the better the result. By adding these four foods to your daily nutrition you can keep your metabolism blazing, even when you are asleep!</div> </div>
