打造完美爱情的十大要点：送礼物等

　　6. Give gifts.

　　Take advantages of opportunities to give material tokens of your love. Just the right book picked up at the bookstore, a special dessert, a piece of jewelry or clothing you noticed at the store – anything small or large that tells them you were thinking of them. Leave a love note for them, or send them an SMS at work to “I love you” – again, the little reminder that they’re always on your mind will help your partner feel better about themselves and secure in your relationship.

　　6.送礼物.

　　把握机会赠送礼物,以表爱情. 如在书店中找到的好看书,一块特别的蛋糕,一件首饰或逛街时留意到的衣服---任何小的或大的礼物,都要告诉对方,你在乎他们.(出门时,)给他们留下爱心便笺,或在工作时,一条短信"我爱你".---话说回来,让他们老是在你的脑海中,也有助于让你的情人在这段爱情中,自我感觉良好和安全.

　　7. Respond gracefully to your partner’s demands and shortcomings.

　　A big killer of relationships is unreasonable expectations. Unless you married a robot, your partner comes pre-loaded with a whole range of human failures and foibles. These are features, not bugs! Learn to recognize and appreciate your partner’s quirks for what they are: an essential part of who they are as people. Since our weaknesses are often at the core of our deepest insecurities, make sure you don’t pick on or otherwise go out of your way to highlight your partner’s flaws.

　　7.善待情人的要求和缺点.

　　爱情的一个大杀手就是不可理喻的异常情况.除非你与一个机器人结婚,否则你的情人天生就会有人的缺点和不足.这些是他们的特点,不是错误.学会认识和欣赏情人本来就有的两面性:一个作为人而潜在的部分.因为我们的弱点是由于我们最深处内心的不安.确保你不会指责,也不会纵容情人的缺点.

　　8. Make "alone time" a priority.

　　No matter how busy both of your lives are, make sure you commit at least an evening every week or two to be alone together. Have new experiences, share your stories, and just generally enjoy each other’s company.

　　8.独处时间优先

　　无论你们俩的生活多忙,保证你至少一周一个或两个晚上让你们单独在一起.经历新的事情,分享各自的人生,或仅仅是享受相互之间相伴的感觉.

　　9. Take nothing for granted.

　　Cultivate a daily sense of gratitude for your partner and the thousands of little blessings he or she has brought into your life. Remember that, if you’re happy in your relationship, your partner is doing a thousand little things for you every day to make your relationship work (as, hopefully, you are for them). Never take that for granted – a relationship is work of the highest order, and the second you stop it starts to slide away.

　　9.没什么是理所当然的.

　　日常中,培养一种对情人感恩的感觉,数以千记的小小的祝愿,会令他或她进入你的生活中.请记住,如果你是爱情中感觉到快乐,那是因为对方正在为你的每一天做了许多的小事情,才能让爱情如此继续(充满希望的,你是属于他们的).不要认为那是理所当然的 ---爱情是有严格准则的事情,当你不遵守时,爱情就会渐渐离你而去.

　　10. Strive for equality.

　　Make sure you follow the Golden Rule in your relationship: do unto your partner as you would have done unto you. Strive for a fair division of household duties and other tasks, and don’t expect or demand special considerations you’d be unwilling to offer in return.

　　10.为平等奋斗

　　确保自己在此段感情中遵守了以下黄金定律:像对待自己一样对待对方.努力让一个决定变得公平,如家务和其他事情,不要仅仅因为你不愿回报,而期望或要求对方特别的照顾.
