Tip No. 2 For Getting the Romance Back After the Holiday Stress Is Behind You
Patty's back! Check out her second tip on how to bring the romance back after the holiday stress is behind you below:
Make an effort to do little things for your partner. A recent study showed that 83 percent of couples held hands while in the beginning of their marriage versus only 38 percent after a decade together.
Dear Poll: Are You Affectionate in Front of Your Family?
Most of you feel that a little PDA goes a long way, but showing some affection toward your significant other is a nice way to communicate your love, at least in my opinion! When you're around family, though, the rules tend to change. Of course it depends on the couple and the family, but in your situation, tell me, are you affectionate with your significant other in front of your family?
Relationship Protocol: How Often Does He Compliment You?
There’s something extra meaningful when you get praise from a significant other. Of course, a compliment is always nice, but when it comes from your loved one, it tends to hold more meaning. That kind of positive energy really goes a long way in keeping the romance alive.
You Asked: There's No Affection in Our Relationship
Dear Sugar,
My wife and I have been married for 13 years and we have four kids. I don't feel as if she loves me anymore. She does not show me any affection and only goes along with what I initiate.
Group Therapy: He Won't Wash!
My husband has gotten into the habit of not brushing his teeth or showering every day. In fact, he often goes a couple of days without either, and it is really disgusting. I have talked to him about it over 20 times in the past year, but he stubbornly refuses to change his ways.
Relationship Protocol: Is Constant Affection a Relationship Necessity?
Outside of sex, physical affection is still a significant part of any relationship. It’s a way for couples to express their desire, devotion, and connection without saying a word. With the stresses and demands of daily life, what begins as a very affectionate relationship can end up being one in which a quick kiss or cuddle on the couch is all a couple has time for on a given day.

Dear E. Jean,
My wife displays no affection for me whatsoever! When we first met, it was like magic.
Where Do You Stand: Being Affectionate With Your Girlfriends
There's really nothing better than having a best friend — it's that unbreakable bond that makes for such a special relationship. But if you're a cuddly type, is being affectionate with your gal pal crossing the line of friendship?
Lindsay Lohan and her BFF Samantha Ronson might take it to an extreme, but last weekend Michelle Williams was photographed holding hands with her co-stars at the premiere of Adoration in Cannes in an endearing, supportive sort of way — something that I found very sweet.
Dear Poll: How Often Do You Say "I Love You" to Your BF?
Just as some couples can’t keep their hands off each other and others save the physical affection for the bedroom, the same is true when it comes to saying “I love you.”
Even though every couple may be in love, the expression of those feelings is different for everyone. Some of us like to say "I love you" every time we talk to our significant other, while others say it few and far between. Of course there is no right way, so tell me ladies, how often do you say, “I love you”?
Do Tell: Are You Affectionate in Front of the Family?
No matter how old I get, I’m old-fashioned when it comes to PDA in front of my parents. When I’m with the family, any excessive touching becomes unnecessary and kissing is kept brief and subtle. I’m not actually sure if this is something that my parents notice, but I guess it’s just my own thing.
