Ping! Time to Check your Relationship....

I was driving the kids to school the other day and thought, why is it that many of us are better at taking care of our cars than our relationships? 

It certainly isn’t that I care about our Honda more than I do my husband. However, I am diligent about doing the maintenance required to keep the car running smoothly.

Upon thinking about it, I'm not quite as good at doing the maintenance (appreciative words, great gifts, thoughtful deeds, out of the blue surprises…) that keep our marriage fun and exciting. 

I realized I’m better about taking care of the car because it gives me gentle reminders and tells me exactly what it needs: beep beep – washer fluid low, flashing light – 3,000 miles - change oil…. Plus, I know it'll break down if I don't tend to these requirements.

Those little prompts and reminders are exactly what I need for my relationship! 

It’s not rocket science but I have found it requires reminders to put a note in his briefcase before a trip or to make his favorite dessert for no reason or simply to tell him a few reasons why I appreciate him before I go to bed.  

This is why we created GetinHerHead.com.  It's for every person who cares about their partner but hasn’t found a way to keep the fun and excitement of the dating phase several years into a relationship. 

I promise if you use the service and follow the gentle prompts and reminders, your relationship will be in as good a shape as your shiny minivan in no time!

Yes, every relationship needs a bit of a prompt in the right direction. Or sometimes a push, or even a shove, to get it back up to the level of love that was shared on the I-DO day. (or the move-in day, or whatever). As a relationship and sexuality coach, I'm well aware of the he/she differences that arise (pardon the pun). Let's not underrate the importance of intimacy on all levels - physical, emotional and spiritual.

Keep intimacy alive and energized, and love becomes a song in the soul.

Thanks for your work in supporting relationships.
