Practical suggestions on how to treat ur gf/bf kindly (its true):

1) Give one another things.
Guys, you'll never understand how much girls appreciate little gifts. Girls arn't so impressed with how much money you spend on them as the are by the fact that you were thinking of them. It makes a girl glow inside when she knows that you've been secretly planning her happiness.
Guys, you probably won't understand this, but take it by faith - girls flip over flowers! To a girl, flowers are the greatest thing in the world, because they are an expression of ur love.
Girls, don't neglect to give him things and do little things for him also. Girls, if you love a guy, go out of your way to make him feel special. Do little things for him like washing his car when he's not around or baking some cookies.

2) Compliment one another.
Guys, br sure to magnify your girl's strength and to minimize her weaknesses. In the Song of Solomon, we find both Solomon and his lover constantly complimenting one another. A girl needs to be told she is pretty or that a certain dress really looks good on her. If ur girlfriend spends FOUR hours getting prettied up for you on a date and you don't even mention how she looks, than look out! if your girl cooks well or plays tennis well or does anything else well, you need to be thoughtful enough to compliment her.
Girls, you need to compliment your bf also. A little secret about guys. Guys have big ego>. advice to you is not to fight it, but if he looks good or does something well, tell him so.

3) Listen to one another. Pay close attention to what each of you has to say and make each other feel that what each say is impt. (God gave u two ears and one mouth for a reason!)

4) Treat ine another special in public. Compliment and encourage each other in teh presence of others.

5) Guys, take your girfriends out occasionally. If you are dating steadily it is impossible to spend money on her all the time unless your father is president of an oil company, but girls get tired of watching TV with you every weekend. Guys, try to be creative in your dating. There are lots of things you can fo that don't cost a lot of money.
