Brushing up on your relationship skills might help you handle hurdles on the road to lasting love. Here are eight tips to rev up the engine of your relationship and how Chinese Animal signs interact in love.
- Understand your partner’s pet peeves—There’s nothing more obnoxious than when your partner leaves a wet towel on the floor or forgets to pick up your dry cleaning, right? If there are things about your mate that drive you crazy, it’s almost certain you have your own endearing quirks. Roosters are fanatical about order and cleanliness. Oxen are painfully stubborn. Figure out what really bugs your honey and make an effort to work on it.
- Get in the mood for sex—Laundry, dishes, work, fantasy football—you name it. Just about anything can get in the way of making time for bedroom bliss. If you’re not doing the horizontal tango often enough, it could be a downer to the whole relationship. Get seductive if you’re married to a Snake or sensual and soft if your mate is a Sheep or a Pig. Tigers and Horses love a wild romp, so figure out your partner’s sexual style and turn up the heat.
- Discover your partner’s interests—While you may not enjoy 18th century literature or dirt-bike racing, taking an interest in your lover’s hobbies demonstrates your love and support. Rabbits can be creative geniuses, Rats are known for their business savvy, and Sheep tend to have an affinity for romance novels. Find out your partner’s area of expertise and ask for a crash-course .
- Discover common interests—One of the easiest ways to bond with your special someone is to do things you both enjoy. Whether it’s international traveling or a love of double mochas, make a point to share your common interests. Horses and Tigers both love adventure, while Sheep and Rabbits have an affinity for the arts. The more you can find to share, the easier it will be to create meaningful memories.
- Understand your differences—You may love your sweetie to pieces, but differences have a way of creating conflict. Oxen tend to bury their feelings. Roosters are nit-picky. Dragons can be temperamental. However different than yours, try to understand your partner’s unique personality.
- Show appreciation for strengths—If your partner is a Pig, you’re probably showered with affection. Dogs are known for their loyalty. Rats are generous. Make a point to show appreciation for what your partner is good at. Giving positive feedback can go a long way. Bonus? Your strokes will probably encourage even more good behavior.
- Complement each other’s weaknesses—Does your honey struggle to be on time while you’re perfectly punctual? If there are areas where you’re strong and your partner is weak, make an effort to become a team. Snakes need love and loyalty to cancel out their insecurities. Unbridled Horses could benefit from someone who is more grounded. Work together in order to make each other stronger.
- Take advantage of lucky days—If you’re not taking advantage of your luck and super luck days, you could be missing on your ideal opportunities for romance. Consult your luck forecast or check out the daily almanac for your Chinese animal sign to mark those special days on the calendar.
