Think back to de day when u first laid eyes on her. u found urself charmed by the way she talks, the way she dresses herself to show off her best features and the way she embraces life with her laughter. It seemed as if a mysterious "chemistry effect" has suddenly developed to draw you closer to her.You two then began to meet regularly, and u discover more things tt u admire about her. Her clever ideas, her healthy values and de way she stands up for you when others doubt you. You find yourself thinking of her not just as a normal friend, but a very gd friend. It is often during this period tt a boy and a gal will start thinking of bringing their friendship to another level. After all, the kind of wonderful experience u've between each other can only become even better if it develops into a romantic relationship. In other words, the feeling is really unique - no one else seems able to replace her in yourheart.So both of you agree to go be together & work even harder on the relationship. u "graduate" to become a couple, and are the envy of the sea of singles.When u Forget The FundamentalsHowever, at some point in ur relationship, u forgot how it all began.You start to take your partner for granted. Why can't she laugh in a moreladylike manner? Why doesn't she dress herself more trendily? Why must she assert her views and point out your silly mistakes? Is she really the one for you?To be fair to yourself and to her, take some time to reflect on your "love memory". The "love memory' contains all the reasons tt u fell in love with her right from Day One. It contains rarely accessed snippets of how your life has changed since meeting & loving her.Pre-steady days, did you heap compliments on her for the brave way she spoke her mind on bullies and snobs? You probably did. Did you like her unusual fashion sense tt makes her stand out from the crowd? Who I Want to Meet: Right. So why are you criticising or finding fault with her now that she is your girlfriend?Because you have forgotten de fundamentals of love, like so many of us. u have forgotten the reasons u admired her during the friendship phase.Instead, once you went steady, you put your "love memory" in cold storage.As her boyfriend, you take up a new set of demands and expectations abouther. These new ideas are not necessarily better; they could put your relationship at risk.The Secret Of Strong RelationshipsA healthy relationship, like learning to walk properly, follows a step-by-step development. You can't possibly become part of a couple if you aren't friends in the first place. Ok, I know some of us break the rule and plunge straight into whirlwind courtship, but how many of those couples can go de distance? So whenever your relationship hits a rocky path, don't give up without checking on your "love memory". Rediscover the reasons why you fell in love.

-----I have taken this from a friend's blog, which he had taken it from another...

There are many truths in this "advice".....but the thing is......I CAN"T REMEMBER how I fell in love with him...don't be too shocked...but firstly...I have short term memory...and perhaps it was more of a mutual thing...there wasn't particularly anything I see in him (ok...this comment is not meant to be interpreted in the bad way) or maybe I simply forgot...
