Ever run into a brick wall, so to speak, with your mate? Can\u2019t seem to pass \u201cGo\u201d without collecting 200 fresh wounds? Well, it\u2019s time to build a bridge and tear down that brick wall. Here are your tools:<\/p>\n

\"conflict\"ATTITUDE<\/strong>
\nGet an attitude adjustment first. Lighten up and do a 180-degree about face. Read the Sunday comics, grab an old comic book, turn on the Comedy channel, watch funny videos or DVDs. Get in a better mood and pass it along to your mate. Invite your mate to tune in to comedy with you, too.<\/p>\n

FRIENDSHIP<\/strong>
\nGo back to being friends for starters now that you\u2019re in a good mood. Forget the love stuff, if you want. And just focus on being good friends; share compliments, do things for one another, go out and have fun together, enjoy one another\u2019s company.<\/p>\n

RELAX<\/strong>
\nLet your hair down. Trust and relax. Be yourself. Don\u2019t let old wounds open or fester. Forget the garbage memories and just be in the here and now together.<\/p>\n

TIME OUT<\/strong>
\nIf possible, spend extra time together for awhile, like during your original courting days. Hire a sitter, order out, eat at fast food places, grab ice cream cones and go for walks in the park. Get to know each other all over again. That\u2019s the key. Then you\u2019ll remember why you fell for each other in the beginning and history will hopefully repeat itself.<\/p>\n

COMMUNICATION<\/strong>
\nTake it slow and easy. Keep away from subjects that you don\u2019t agree upon. And slowly re-learn to communicate with each other all over again. If necessary, and it\u2019s not a crime or shame \u2013 get help. Seek a trusted friend or adviser, a church clergy member or certified professional counselor. No need to go it alone. Find your weak areas and how to over come them and plan for future communication difficulties.<\/p>\n

GOALS<\/strong>
\nGradually develop goals together so you\u2019ll have a direction to head. Write them down in a notebook just for the two of you. And over time, develop them, revise them, cross them off your list. The idea is to HAVE goals together and work towards a common goal.<\/p>\n

SCRAP BOOK<\/strong>
\nCreate a memory album together. Add photos, clippings, menus and anything that reminds you of the \u201cgood times.\u201d Then when tough times comes, you\u2019ll have something to \u201chold on to\u201d \u2013 your bridge to romance.<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t just sit back and sulk. Take short steps to improve your relationships and let life\u2019s problems magically pass by while you hold on to your relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
