If you are going to affair-proof your relationship, you are going to invest in and commit to the relationship. You are not going to think you can do better than the person you’re with or that somewhere out there in the world is a potential mate who will love and adore you when you want them to, will leave you alone when you want them to, and won’t expect you to meet any of their needs (follow these dating rules to start).
1. THE 6-SECOND KISS
Every time you leave one another, whether it’s to go to work, the grocery store, or the gym, kiss good-bye for six seconds. Not one second. Not two seconds. Six seconds. If you want to make out for two minutes, that’s fine also, but the kiss needs to be at least six seconds long.
2. DATE YOUR PARTNER
Just because your partner now shares your mailbox doesn’t mean dating should end. Make time at least once each week for a date night. Plan it. Prepare for it. Get excited about it, like it’s the first time you dated. Think of new places to go, new things to experience, and make romancing your partner a habit.
3. GET TO KNOW YOUR PARTNER
Remember when you could talk for hours and you never got tired of learning new things about each other? This doesn’t have to end. There are still things to learn about your partner. Never stop being curious about their inner world. Ask open-ended questions—questions that can’t be answered by a “yes” or a “no.”
4. APPRECIATE YOUR BELOVED
Find some way every day to show your appreciation and gratitude that this person is in your life. Compliment your woman, thank, admire, show your partner with your words and your actions that you love and value her. Tell your partner you desire them. Do something nice for them.
5. HONOR EACH OTHERS DREAMS
Too often, women will put their own dreams aside for the sake of the family, or the relationship, or because we live in a society where a woman’s dreams are not quite as important—especially if they don’t involve being a wife or a mother. Everyone’s dreams are important. Your dreams are important. Her dreams are important. And research shows that the longevity and success of a relationship depend on each person supporting the goals of the other person because a partner can make or break your career.
