No matter if you are expecting, consistently caught up with work or just need to rekindle the spark in your relationship, a weekly or bi-weekly date night is a fantastic idea to make sure you and your significant other are connecting positively and enjoying each other’s company on a regular basis.

It doesn’t have to be expensive or elaborate—it can be as simple as taking a romantic stroll and cooking dinner together while the children stay the night at a friend or family member’s house. The important thing is to make spending time alone together a priority for you both. If you need to, write it down in your weekly calendar so you view it as an appointment or upcoming activity.

Recently, AskMen.com wrote an article suggesting that sometimes people—specifically women– do some crazy things with their profiles. Everything from setting up a fake profile to keep tabs on an ex, posting manipulative photos of themselves or embarrassing photos of a former flame, to posting passive-aggressive status updates. Relationships (and breakups) are hard, and sometimes the availability of public communication and the urge to constantly check-up on someone or make a person jealous may threaten to overpower your sense of rationality.

However, women aren’t the only ones making a mess of their social networking profiles. Cosmopolitan’s response to AskMen suggests men can be just as guilty as women. They might handle it differently, but they’re not free from bad social networking behavior.

Cosmopolitan’s article highlights annoying things men do specifically on Facebook. From hiding their relationship status to detagging perfectly normal photos of themselves and even asking women out via wall posts. Is it really too much work to actually call a person you’re interested in these days?

However, there’s no need to believe that all relationships are a never-ending cycle of excitement and letdown. Many relationships do survive past the “honeymoon period” into something deeper such as moving in, getting a pet together, marriage, and eventually kids. Each step marks a change. But for a relationship to grow and survive, something must always be changing and both involved need to be willing to take that next step.

The article concludes that failed relationships occur for any number of reasons, but many boil down to one person just wanting more than the other. So make sure you know what you want out of your relationship before pushing for more. If you’re too pushy you may find yourself where you started, back at square one.
