How do you keep the fire burning, so to speak? Especially when you both don't have much money to spend. Thank-you, happy mylotting.

Yes I can imagine. But one day you will be the one getting married. You will have different kinds of friends and probably lots of children to spend time with. So, I would say, enjoy your freedom, while you still can. Hahaha! Both have there advantages and disadvantages. Being single or having a partner. But I think you will find the right women for you, and have a wonderful family. Take care

Hi Margajoe! We have been in finacially unstable for the longest time and with the current situation of the economy, our financial status is not getting any better. It is difficult sometimes not to be stressed by it and sometimes it does affect our relationship. However, we both know that we have to lean on each other in everything to survive this trial. Knowing that we can get through anything as long as we're together makes our relationship grow stronger. We support each other and we do discuss all without being negative in any way. We never stopped being sweet and gentle with each other and we always get to say how much we love and care for each other. I know there are times that we just want to give up but when one of us is a little depressed, the other one will forget whatever one is feeling that moment and will try to put a smile back on the face and heart of the other. Take care and have a great day! lovelots...faith

Hi Faith! How are you? Yes, that is the way it goes here too. Sometimes I do feel like giving up. I know that is wrong, and normally that is only a one day thing. Like you say, when we start talking, everything is good again. We talk a lot too, I think that is what has been keeping us together. Somehow I believe I am suppose to be with this man. When he is away to long, I wake up and already know where he is. Even he has never experienced this. This morning I told him again, I know when he is not at work. I know when he finishes his work and is coming home. I wake up. And he does not have regular times either. He looked surprised, because it is weird. I cannot sleep well this way. So I told him, it is because I love him to much. Then I said: "Well, I should not do that anymore, than I will sleep better."His face turned into a worried mans look. "He, that is not good!" He said. We have been together for over 2 years. We meet each other by accident. We already know what the other is feeling. Sometimes it is scary. Before the phone rings I am thinking about him. So, I guess something must be right in our relationship. Just to bad we don't have to much money. That is why I want to know what I can do to keep the fire burning more, so to speak. Take care, have a nice day.

Hi Margajoe! I am doing fine, thank you for asking my dear! I could see that you both love and care for each other very much. Life is really difficult nowadays and I can relate to what you are going through. We have much love for each other but we don't have much money to make it easier on us too. However, I believe that our support, care and love for them we'll be enough to keep the fire burning. Communication is really important and that is what I have also learned from my relationship. There are a lot of ways in which we can show our love and care for them without spending a dime. Just be caring and gentle and making him feel special and important in your life will make him feel like a king. I really hope and pray that we both can be financially stable soon and let the worries about money be a thing of the past. In the meantime, let us enjoy the love that we have been blessed. lovelots..faith

This is another mail, I did not receive. But better late than never. I also hope we will get out of the financial difficulties soon. All of us. Maybe someday we can go on vacation!!! It is really putting a strain on my relationship. My BF can get so grumpy. Lately I don't feel like saying anything anymore. I don't like the way he responds. I understand he is tired, but he never used to talk with grumpy answers before. I am also starting to get nervous when he is at home. This is not good. I hope things get better. Oh, one thing has gotten better, as of April 1st my house in the Netherlands has been sold!!! I am very happy about that. We lost money on it. But know if the financial problems get any worse, they cannot take the house away. My parents and children are now renting the house. This is way better. The house market bought the house back. Thank-God! One big problem less to worry about. Take care, hugs.

IF you are speaking money-wise then there are many things you can do. A nice walk in the park is great and finish it off with a picnic. Or you can check for any free concerts. At my mall every few months they have a free concert of a famous singer. And at a park not far from my house they have free jazz concerts. You should do some research. I even found a Greek festival which costed only $3 You can also stay home and rent a movie and order a pizza which is way cheaper than going to the movies. If there are any drive-ins you should go there too. You can bring your own food and plus its cheaper. Just have fun and do different things that will had some spazz to your relationship. Its fun to change up and be spontaneous.

Thank-you for your advice. The walk in the park is nice, especially now that the weather is getting better. Last year at this time I could not walk long without having pain. But, I have gotten better since then, I think I could manage know. Good idea. Renting films and eating pizza, yes I like that. Doing different things, yes I agree that is good to add spazz to a relationship. I want to know as many ways as possible, how to make a relationship worth while. Take care.
