'Boomer' Relationship Boost!


Attention Boomers!

Whether you are in a newly formed relationship or been in a long-lived one, keep in mind every relationship can use a little 'relationship rejuvenation' once in a while.
We all get a little 'lazy' with this stuff. I don't know why...we're pretty good during the 'fresh bloom' of a relationship, but as the years pass, there seems to be a tendency to over-look the simple, easy ways to fan. Flowers, candy, notes, hugs, kisses on the back of the neck, holding hands, sharing a cup of coffee/tea or glass of wine while watching the sun rise or set among others are good little practices to RE-IMPLEMENT if you have let them go for a while. FYI: I can make a longer list for you if you ask me! or YOU can submit your suggestion list in the comment area! Here's simple but sweet way to boost your relationship meter to the positive. On your next vacation, tuck a Hide a Heart in the suitcase or pocket or shaving kit or make-up bag of the traveling companion you LOVE to surprise him/her! Then trade off hiding it from one another during the trip! It's fun! It's romantic! It's Eco-friendly because you only have to buy it once and then reuse again and again! HINT: Then REUSE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN when you get back to 'keep the home fires blazing'...well, at least lighted!

Confident toasting made EASY

How often have key members of a bridal party struggled to find a way to offer a meaningful and thoughtful toast for newly weds?
It can be a heavy responsibility to find just the right words to inspire and support the new couple without sounding foolish, coarse or ill-prepared. Finding a way to offer sage advice or explain the importance of nurturing a relationship can prove illusive but now the honor of making such an important toast is made easy with Hide a Heart™.
SUGGESTION: After sharing a well-chosen story about the new romance, remind the new couple that harsh words can be destructive to the spirit of the marriage then sum it up by giving a Hide a Heart to encourage positive communication to start a couple on a romantic and rejuvenating journey that can last for years.

Keeping the Language of Love ALIVE!



Whether in a newly formed relationship or a long enjoyed one, both require nurturing!
Attending a Marriage Encounter or seeing a Marriage Counselor can be helpful, but unless you are fully vaccinated by the experience, you might want to invest in a 'relationship enrichment' token. Hide a Heart™ can help you 'keep the language of love alive' in your relationship! If you want to have FUN with someone you love and put a little 'spark' back into your relationship, then Hide a Heart could become your best advocate, especially if it's been lack-luster for a while...this little token can speak volumes! Hide a Heart makes it easy to say I LOVE YOU, I'M SORRY, FORGIVE ME and when you play the Hide a Heart game together, you create positive communication. With a little luck, you may even resurrect a little romance that may rejuvenate, recuperate and 'jump start' a wan-colored relationship.

Feathering Your Empty Nest




So your last child has started college and you have taken up residence in the EMPTY NEST. Now it's time to find out if you and your spouse have anything to talk about besides 'the children'. The 'Empty Nest' can be a vacant place for many couples. For years they have invested so much energy into the 'kids' and so little time and energy in the 'couple' that what to do..what to say...how to do it...and how to say it can be a really daunting problem. Here's a simple idea that could be the catalyst to fan the flames, it won't break the bank, fits into a Christmas Stocking, is a perfect gift for Valentines Day or Anniversary and it is easy to use! Interested?
