The element of surprise and novelty also works well. I would have to agree with LXAAlum...keeping my fiance laughing at my antics always works - laughter is the best medicine!
My fiance and I have not been together that long (a year and a half) - however we've always found laughter to pull is through even the worst of situations. We've faced a few really tough character-building situations lately...and it always seems to help when we do ridiculous little things for each other, that we know is meaningful to the other person and will make them smile. And of course we never laugh
at each other, it's always
with each other.
And of course there's always that last bit of mystery...I love the fact that my fiance is still a mystery to me - he's seems so easy to read, but watch out, he's deeper than the Atlantic! It's always interesting to find out more about him, and what he likes and loves. I think this is something that's important to men as well as women, when it comes to a true, committed relationship, and it's worked well for me to really learn about my fiance as a person, as well as my significant other.
