TOGETHERNESS.

488 Invite her to accompany you on your next business trip. (All work and no play makes hubby a bore.) 489 Read the Sunday newspaper in bed together. Read the Sunday comics aloud (use appropriate voices).

490 Explore together: auctions, flea markets, second-hand stores, garage sales, and rummage sales. They're great places to find "Trinket Gifts," little surprises and gag gifts.

491 Cook a meal together.

492 Go into a bookstore together. Buy each other two books: One that you know your partner will like.

And one that you want your partner to read.

493 Sit down together on the first day of every month and review your calendars. Make your romantic plans first, and then fit your other meetings, appointments, and commitments into your schedule. Couples who have an A+ Relationship keep their love life a number one priority.

Familiarity does not "breed contempt"-it's boredom and lack of creativity that breed contempt.

Chapter Theme Song:.

"We Belong Together,"

Mariah Carey Dependence isn't healthy in a love relationship. It leads to co-dependency.

Independence doesn't work well, either. What's the point of being a couple if your main goal is to be independent?

Interdependence is the goal that people in A+ relationships aim for.

TWO.

496 There are two kinds of people in the world: Detail People and Overview People.

Detail People focus on the little things; they notice details. Overview People focus on the big picture; they see general trends. Neither is right or wrong, these are simply character tendencies.

It will be much easier for you to pull romantic surprises if you're a Detail Person and your partner is an Overview Person. Detail People are good at covering their trail, paying attention to the little things, and acting "normal." The overview partner won't even notice any little slips. If you're the Overview Person, you'll need to be extra careful when planning surprises. Those detail-oriented partners will notice every unusual phone call, every little change in your schedule, and that mischievous look on your face!

497 There are two kinds of people in the world: Object People and Experience People.

Object People see love symbolized in gifts, in things: roses, jewelry, socket wrench sets. Experience People see love expressed in time spent together, in experiences: dinner, movies, bowling. Neither is better than the other, they're just personal preferences. And, interestingly, neither preference is related to gender.

Why do you need to know this? Because if your partner is an Object Person, and you take her to the best restaurant in town and drop $200 on an elegant experience, she'll still be expecting a gift at the end of the evening! She's not being selfish, she's simply being herself.

Object People love items that have special meaning. Experience People love activities that create special memories.

Tip: Don't argue about it. Neither of you will ever change the other!

There are two kinds of people in this world: High Maintenance People-and Low Maintenance People. (For further insights into this concept see the movie When Harry Met Sally.) There are two kinds of people in this world: People Who Will Spend Hours to Find That Three Cents Needed to Balance the Checkbook-and People Who Will Round Off to the Nearest Hundred Dollars Just to Be Done With It.

TWO (II).

498 There are two kinds of people in the world: Left-Brained People and Right-Brained People.

Left-Brained People tend to be logical and analytical. Right-Brained People tend to be emotional and intuitive. The current cultural stereotype is that men are logical and women are emotional. This is often-but not nearly always-true. Studies show that this generalization is true for about 60 percent of people. The important lesson for lovers is to treat your partner as an individual, not as a stereotype.

499 There are two kinds of people in the world: People Who Sleep With the Windows Open, and People Who Sleep With the Windows Closed.

There are two kinds of people in the world: People With One Left Foot and One Right Foot, and People With Two Left Feet. Note: The dancers and the nondancers always marry each other. Nobody knows why.

The serious point here is this: It's not about being right or wrong. It's about working things through, compromising, appreciating each other's quirks, and laughing a lot. (And on the practical side, an electric blanket with dual controls just might be a relationship-saving gift!) 500 There are two kinds of people in the world: Morning People and Night People.

Morning People leap out of bed at daybreak and are raring to go, then they close up shop by 8 p.m. Night People are just getting warmed up by sundown, do their best work after midnight, then sleep until noon. Don't take Morning People on late night dates-they'll doze off. Brisk morning walks and elegant breakfasts are more their style.

Don't serve Night People breakfast in bed. They shine at dinner parties. They love late-night movies and midnight lovemaking.

There are two kinds of people in the world: Dog People and Cat People. Don't trifle with either kind!
