Change what you want — but do it with love.
It's important to learn how to love your body.
I remember seeing a cartoon titled, "The Difference Between Women and Men," that had a naked man and woman each looking into a full-length mirror.
The woman saw herself as three times bigger while the overweight, balding man saw a chiseled Adonis.
While I know some men are painfully uncomfortable about their looks, being perpetually self-conscious and unduly critical is more often a problem for women.
So, unless you’re one of the very few who are genetically blessed with society’s idea of perfection, you probably exaggerate your flaws
Many women say they feel more comfortable undressing in front of men than they do undressing in front of other women. They say that women are judgmental, which may very well be projection.

When conditions force you into more alone time, see it as an opportunity.
As important as communication is, without connection — touching, sensing, and giving what you've learned your partner needs — a relationship is less likely to be sustainable.
Connection is an all-important key component to a happy love life and a hot relationship.
Here are 7 ways to keep that connection alive and learn how to have a hot relationship.
1. Keep your mate’s most loving messages and texts on your phone and reread them.
True compatibility is the feeling that you have a helpmate – someone who wants to help you reach your goals and develop as a person. And you must respect and be willing to support your mate’s development and goals as well. With such a strong base, staying together becomes relatively easy.
I’m going to let you in on a secret: people without any dreams or aspirations usually aren’t as interesting as those with a sense of purpose. If you’ve ever met someone who has given up wanting anything for his or her future, you know they tend to lack enthusiasm and are not much fun to be around. They lower the energy level in the room and are likely to be relationship challenged as well.
