3) Ten Commandments of Keeping Love Alive by Rebecca Rosenblat

Always share positive feelings. One can never hear enough of them;

Never share negative feelings unless there is a specific constructive purpose to it (resolving an issue before it gets out of hand, expressing concern over a fixable issue, etc. etc.). Negative feelings expressed just to get something off the chest, to make a minor point, to lash out, to put down, to get your way, or to make an issue of something which cannot be changed, can only have a negative effect on the relationship. Nothing positive will ever come out of any of it, save a fleeting feeling of satisfaction from spitting it all out;

Make each other feel like a priority, especially when you are unable to treat your partner as such. In other words, at times when it isn't possible to treat your lover as a priority due to extenuating circumstances, at least take a few moments (doesn't take a lot) to share the situation with them, and reaffirm your feelings;

Never let the sun go down without resolving anger or doing a daily mental check-up. Put yourself in your lover's shoes and see how you would feel receiving what you gave to them (good or bad) each day;

4) Wild Nights by Emily Dickinson

Love poems have the power to inspire us and to warm our hearts. We should take a few minutes each day to recall an inspirational line or stanza.

Wild nights. Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile the winds
To a heart in port
Done with the compass
Done with the chart.

Rowing in Eden.
Ah, the sea.
Might I but moor
Tonight with thee!

5) A Room With a View Movie Review

This Oscar-winning film features memorable performances by the exquisite pair of Julie Christie and Omar Sharif. Then there's all that incredible scenery. "Lara's Theme" is still one of my favorite movie theme songs.
Here's a review by Amazon.com editor Robert Horton.

David Lean focused all his talent as an epic-maker on Boris Pasternak's sweeping novel about a doctor-poet in revolutionary Russia. The results may sometimes veer toward soap opera, especially with the screen frequently filled with adoring close-ups of Omar Sharif and Julie Christie, but Lean's gift for cramming the screen with spectacle is not to be denied. The streets of Moscow, the snowy steppes of Russia, the house in the country taken over by ice; these are re-created with Lean's unerring sense of grandness. The movie is so lush and so long that it becomes an irresistible wallow, even when logic suffers--like Gone with the Wind before it and Titanic after. Sharif, who achieved stardom in Lean's previous film, Lawrence of Arabia, mostly looks noble, but the supporting cast is spiky: Rod Steiger as a fat-cat monster, Tom Courtenay as a self-righteous revolutionary, and Klaus Kinski and Alec Guinness in smaller roles. Geraldine Chaplin, in her adult debut, plays the doctor's compliant wife. Robert Bolt's screenplay won one of the film's five Oscars, with another going to perhaps the most immediately recognizable element of the movie: Maurice Jarre's romantic music, with its hugely popular "Lara's Theme" weaving in and out of a swooning score. --Robert Horton

That's all for now.

Make it a great week.
