How can we reopen the lines of communication?

Dear Lynda,

I met this girl last year. At first the relationship was going well and then she had some problems she had to take care of, well ever since this “time” in her life we have lost or not had as much communication as we did when we met. We both love each other and believe in the same things. How can we reopen the lines of communication? Do you have any advice, right now we mainly communicate through email.

Dear Amazed,

Think about what sort of marriage a couple would have if the only ever related to each other during breakfast at the breakfast table. It takes many different and subtle ways to keep the home fires burning.

Here are a few tips for improving your communication…

  • Even a boring email can be made to be quite special. You can add background pictures to your emails. What about pictures of yourself as the background picture? Get someone to scan a ton of pictures of yourself for you and send a new one every time. She’ll be very eager to see the next picture. You can also add sounds to most emails. How about you record some short but loving phrases? A few loving words from you each day in your own voice will communicate your feelings to her in a new and fresh way.
  • There are more ways to communicate on the internet than by email. Why aren’t you both talking in real time with msn? Msn is a free program that you download that will not only tell you whenever she goes on- line but allows you both to type-talk to each other at the same time and send each other files (photos, songs, etc.). I can’t stress enough the importance of this program for internet romance couples.
  • Sometimes it’s nice to communicate without having to switch on the computer. This means telephone calls (expensive but necessary) and handwritten letters. They take a bit more effort or cash but are necessary to assist in bringing a sense of realism to the relationship.

    • Well, Amazed, these are just three ways you can communicate with your Lady. Not boring old porridge of emails every day but a feast of communication that is sure to satisfy any woman.
