Tips and Advice Archives

“Date Night” – sounds terrible, doesn’t it? Like the title of a shlock horror movie – and believe me, that’s exactly the way it sounded when I first came up with the idea too. Date Night is an idea we came up with to help fall in love again and save our marriage and it was an idea that began, believe it or not, from a piece of advice I read in T Dub’s Magic of Making Up.

Recreating the RomanceIt might be that we were a bit farther along the road of reconciliation than you might be right now. Although we were still separated we had (after me following all the recommended inital contact steps) come to the point where we had gained a delicate friendship – and we’d both admitted to each other that we wanted to be together again. But we needed to fall back in love first.

And so, after changing some things in the original tip just a bit to suit ourselves, I came up with Date Night. And yes, my ex was as appalled by the idea at first as I was. Organised, planned dating sounds as fun as set activities on summer vacations, like following a tour guide with one of those little flags.

But the idea was, once a fortnight at first, and later every week, and in the end every Friday night, we’d go out on a date. A good old-fashioned date – just like we did when we first met. It didn’t have to be a fancy expensive dinner, but it also wasn’t allowed to be a cheapo meal at a place where we’d been a hundred times. The idea was to make the sitation, the setting, just a little bit different and unusual and make us concentrate on us. And movies were not allowed – simply because we wanted to talk, not sit and watch a screen.

And it’s not difficult to believe but, something magic happened. We both found ourselves starting to look forward to Date Night. We took it in turns to choose what we’d be doing each week and I found (and my partner did too) that I was starting to think about Date Night all the time. Planning a venue I just knew he’d love, just to get that buzz when I’d see how much he was enjoying himself. Enjoying himself with me – again.

We did some interesting things – dinners in new restaurants, planned picnics by the harbour, mini golf(!), art galleries – we even climbed over the fence of the Botantic Gardens at about 11pm and strolled around in the moonlight, just us. We felt like kids again, carefree and just having fun, and that created a space where our love began to grow again.

Now, a year later we’re happily in love and living together as husband and wife again. And we still do Date Night – just because it’s fun!

I heartily recommend the concept of Date Night to anyone who feels it might help save their marriage. It’s just one of the many tips and tricks you’ll find in the Magic of Making Up – advice that really works. Give it a try.

Show Your Sensitive Side – Get Your Wife Back

If you’re wondering how to save your marriage, then it’s obvious the reasons behind the separation weren’t so devastating that the marriage can’t be saved. And it’s likely that she feels the same way. Now is the time for you to apologize for any hurtful things you might have said or things you may have done during the breakup. Saving sorry, meaning it and showing that you’re sorry is a very good first step.

How To Save A Marriage - Giving FlowersYour mates are probably telling you it’s time to show your sensitive side. Well, yes, this is going to help, but only if you’re honest about it. Doing things right is more important than trying to appear to being doing what you think she wants. Honesty is definitely the best policy. Show her how much you miss her – she’s probably missing you too. And pay attention to what she does. If she throws your flowers out the window, or tears up your card, take note: she’s either not ready to get back together with you, or she feels that flowers and cards are a shallow gesture and something more is needed.

Flowers and cards may work for a lot of women, but she shows frustration take a look at it from her side. It’s easy to pick up the phone and order flowers to be delivered and it’s simple to write your name at the bottom of a card with a printed message. If you still think flowers and cards are worth a try, then do so, but put a little of yourself into the gift. Pick the flowers yourself (or at least arrange them yourself). A simple, honest bunch of blossoms picked with love will mean a whole lot more than a professionally arranged bouquet wrapped in plastic and delivered by a pimply teen on a moped. If you want to write a card, by a blank one and write the message yourself – let it come from the heart. It doesn’t have to be an epic, and it doesn’t have to be award-winning literature. It just needs to say what you’ve always wanted to tell her.

Women often say that men aren’t thoughtful in their relationships. If you fall into this category, and you’ve spent much of your marriage not being thoughtful, then you may find things a little tough as she initially doubts your sincerity. But stick with it. Be patient and continue to do those little thoughtful things that will make her happy. Don’t do them because you’re trying to save a marriage – do them because you know they make her feel good, feel happy, and because you know she deserves it. You love her, and this is one of many ways to demonstrate that love. And when she feels happy, you know that will make you feel good.

If it appears she’s moved on, still send her a card you wrote just wishing her a great week. But don’t look as if you have any expectations. Your thoughtfulness might really impress her.

One other thing my friend, the points made above, are only just one step in the equation of getting your true love back. The important thing is to have a step by step plan that will lead you in your heartfelt pursuit.

Frankly, that’s what I did when my true love dumped me. I followed a plan authored by T ‘Dub’ Jackson. When my cause was almost hopeless and I was dying inside, it hauled me up by my bootstraps and helped me get my life’s love back.

First Steps in Getting Your Ex Back

Have you just been through a break up? I guess the things that’s most on your mind is how to get your marriage back. Nearly everyone in the world has experienced some type of break up and many people simply decide to move on instead of looking for a way to rebuild their marriage. However, if you don’t want to play the victim, and you’re prepared to do the work to get your ex back, then all is not lost. It is possible to heal a broken relationship – not every break up means you can’t get back together with your ex.

It’s an unrecognised fact that in 90 percent of cases it is entirely possible to rebuild the loving relationship you once had, so long as you understand the steps that need to be taken to win your ex back. One of the obvious first steps is to figure out exactly what happened that caused the marriage to break up in the first place. Even though it is true that you can’t ‘undo’ these events, it is important that you learn from the mistakes that were made, and that you grow from positively from the past events.

It might have been a single event that caused the break up, or it could possibly have arisen from behaviour patterns that your ex no longer wished to deal with. Whatever the explanation, it is important for you to examine the specifics of what happened so that if the situation ever comes up again, you have a plan for dealing with it. You can reconstruct your marriage if you know how, but in order for the marriage to be strengthened by this breakup, you need to know how and why it went wrong in the first place.

The following step is to make sure that you don’t appear as a ‘needy’ person as you begin to re-contact your ex. Of course, nearly everyone feels that they cannot live without the love that used to be such a huge part of their lives, but very little is achieved by making this obvious. Rather, it is better that you stay strong, and let your ex see that you are doing fine on your own. Self confidence and poise are very attractive features in any person, and as it is likely that your ex is feeling the same neediness as you really are, he or she will find your apparent self confidence very appealing.

Some of the worse things you can do are to try to get back at your ex, or make them feel jealous. This is a very shabby way to behave, and it will demonstrate to your ex that they really are better off without you. Going out with friends and having a good time is an excellent way to demonstrate your self confidence, but ensure that you’re not doing to prove you’re having more fun than your ex. Simply be calm and take the time to focus on yourself and making yourself a better person. This will inspire your ex to want to get back together with you.

Knowing what to do – what to say and when to say it – is crucial in trying to rebuild your marriage. It might be hard to believe, but a step by step approach really does work. Learn the Magic” of making up – it’s a program that works like magic.

Does he really want to get back with me?

How To Tell if Your Ex Wants to Get Back with You

If your ex is showing some interest in you, or seems to want to go out and spend a little more time with you than before, or if pick up a few hints that your ex is flirting with you, then it’s definitely okay to be a little hopeful. But be careful you don’t jump the gun.

These are certainly very common signs that your ex is interested in rebuilding your relationship. But even if you want to return to your previous life with your ex, you should not simply jump into things. The best strategy is to play hard to get (in moderation), and this is the thing your ex will probably respond best to anyway. If you just jump into things full force, then you may find your ex pushing you away again. In fact, if your ex is giving indications that he or she wants you back, then the odds are, it was you playing hard to get that led to the renewed interest in the first place.

Does My Ex Want Me BackGenerally when a couple breaks up there is a natural level of missing one another, or longing to get back together. This is especially true following a relationship of a year or longer. Your ex is going to miss you simply because of the shared memories you have. But there are other emotions that come into play including past regrets. If you are wondering “does my ex actually want to get back with me” the odds are that your ex may be thinking the same thing for the same reasons.

Sometimes when an ex shows interest again following a break up however, it is only a game. They may see that you love them, and they may simply be trying to get attention, without actually intending to get you back. So, unless your ex really seems genuinely interested in spending time with you, they may just be passing the time because they have no other prospects on the horizon. And worst of all they may see this as away to get revenge for some perceived wrong. This is why it is important not to jump the gun, and why you should focus on reading into the situation before you act on it.

This is common, and a lot of people find themselves pondering the same questions but the truth is, its better to get a feel for the situation before you act. In reality, if your ex does want to get back with you, playing hard to get (in moderation) is the best scenario because it will prevent you from getting hurt if your ex is not really serious about getting back with you.

Finding the answer to this question and how your ex really feels about you can be difficult.
The Magic of Making Up examines this problem in detail and give you a number of strategies that you can use to gage your ex-partner’s feelings for you – as well as a step-by-step plan on how to move forward.

After a break up, many guys ask themselves “What can I do to get my wife back?” Their first thoughts are usually to go over every single event and wonder how things could have been done differently. “Maybe I should have…” and “I wish I hadn’t…”  Some people even write a hundred apology letters, screw them up and never send one. Or they send them all. Or they plan other things which they hope might help them win their love back.

Get my Girlfriend Back And the truth is, all of this is a hopeless cause and that’s for one reason and one reason alone:  Because you can never really tell what the real reasons were behind a breakup. Women deal with things in different ways than men. They become emotional and sometimes they do not even know what led to the break up. It might not be a single event, it might be many small events, but even they may not know what is making them feel the way they do. In many circumstances, as harsh as it sounds, it is a waste of your energy trying to figure out what exactly went wrong.

The first main strategy to answer the question “what can I do to get my wife back” is to forget about the relationship for a while and put your energy into something else. Go out, make friends, have fun, network, and forget about women in general. Set some realistic goals about expanding your repertoire when it comes to seduction and meeting people.

Now is your chance to be a little more direct when it comes to getting your ex wife back. You need to play strategically, however. Do not simply beg her to get back with you, because this is not a good time to be emotional.

Instead, what you should be doing is playing things cool with your ex. If you have spent enough time apart from her, she is probably missing you as badly as you are missing her. Play hard to get a little (don’t over do it) and show her that you are doing fine without her. This will inspire her to really rethink things.

What Can I Do to Get My Husband Back?

Does it seem as if anything you try pushes your ex further away? Does this describe your relationship to a tee? Are you asking “What can I do to get my husband back” nearly every day? Here is some advice that will go a long way to improving your chances of getting back together with your husband.

You are obviously serious about saving or rebuilding your relationship – that is what has led you to this article in the first place. That seriousness is a good indication of the strength of your love. But take care: If you are feeling overly anxious to get your ex back, you may be behaving in the wrong way, causing your ex to pull away. It is only natural for your ex to resist this kind of pressure. It’s human nature. Struggling against human nature is futile and pointless. It will only make matters worse.

howtogetmyboyfriendbackAre you calling your ex too much, are you forever sending him text messages or emailing him too much? Are you trying to make him feel sorry for you? If you are doing these things, stop! If you are asking yourself “how do I get my husband back”, then you really need to stop doing these things right now.

So… what can I do to get my husband back? Take this approach instead.

The best advice is to take a completely fresh approach. Begin by breaking contact off for a while. Do your own thing. Don’t call him, don’t text him, don’t write. During this time where there is no communication between you and your husband, you can focus on ways that you can improve your own personal life, rather than focusing on the relationship issues at hand. This is going to be a challenging time, and it is going to require discipline to prevent you from returning to your old ways.

During this time, your ex is going to experience a shift in how he feels about you, since you will no longer be pursuing him. You may become mysterious to him in some ways, because he is not sure what you are doing or feeling. This is actually something that can work in your favor. Now your ex is in a position to actually miss you, which is not possible when you are smothering him.

You must remember that the key to this strategy and repairing a break up is to work with human nature rather than attempting to work against it. If you are wondering ” What can I do to get my husband back”, now you should have a fairly basic understanding on how common mistakes can be avoided. Once you implement this basic strategy you can restore a balance and allow your ex to remember why he loved you in the first place.

Just keep yourself grounded and avoid smothering him. Make yourself appear mysterious and he will be reminded why he loved you in the first place. Play hard to get (don’t over do it) and let him make the first move, and you will come out on top.

There are many more useful ‘tricks’ like this, that work on human nature and help you to understand how your ex thinks about you. The next step that I would highly recommend would be to purchase a book like “The Magic of Making Up“. It’s a step-by-step plan to get you through this difficult time.
