			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-62" title="sunset_couple_romantc-small" src="http://yourlifeasyouwantit.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/sunset_couple_romantc-small.jpg" alt="sunset_couple_romantc-small" width="250" height="187" />Given the media frenzy over less-than-wholesome celebrity relationships in recent years, you might feel inclined to measure your own relationship against an arbitrary media-imposed standard.  This can lead to a tendency to over-analyze our personal (i.e. intimate) relationships.  &#8220;Is he/she <em>really</em> the one?&#8221;  &#8220;What if I meet someone else?&#8221;  or the more threatening &#8220;What happens to me if <em>he/she</em> meets someone else?&#8221; Whether you&#8217;re watching <em>Sex In The City</em>, or <em>Oprah</em>, or even Rachel Ray, you&#8217;re going to be challenged about the perceived quality of your relationship.</p>
<p>Honestly, do you really want a gaggle of Cosmo-swilling malcontent Manhattanites implicitly casting aspersions on <em>your</em> relationship?</p>
<p>You can &#8220;what if&#8230;&#8221; yourself to death.  Sometimes all that over-thinking can get in the way of just being with the person you love.  Every couple has &#8220;issues&#8221; from time to time, and most of the time you just work through them.  If you&#8217;re in a rut and you don&#8217;t like it, don&#8217;t complain to your girlfriends.  Don&#8217;t complain to the guys in the bar or on the golf course.  Tell it to the only person in the universe who can actually <strong>do</strong> something about it: YOUR PARTNER.</p>
<p>Set up a special time.  Book an appointment with each other if you have to.  Make sure the kids won&#8217;t disturb you.  Then begin at the beginning.  Say what&#8217;s on your mind.  Be honest.  And be fair.  Do NOT threaten.  Yes, it may feel uncomfortable.  Give your partner the opportunity to respond.  Yes, it may feel uncomfortable.  It&#8217;s okay if you cry.  That goes for the men, too.  If a relationship is good enough to fight over, it&#8217;s good enough to cry over.  Yes, it may feel uncomfortable.  Do it anyway.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;ve achieved the breakthrough that inevitably happens through healthy encounters, then get ready for some good &#8220;make up&#8221; sex.</p>
<p>When the stress of the relationship gets to you, you may be able to find some relief <a href="http://yourlifeasyouwantit.com/stress" target="_blank"><strong>here.</strong></a></p>
