What kind of lover are you?

What kind of lover are you?

    There are six different ways you can be “in love” and knowing your style can help you evaluate your relationship, say experts. Here are some descriptions to find your personal style, and learn how you can keep your relationship healthy and happy. 

THE ROMANTIC These people love being in love. If you are one of them you may be
swept away by your new lover’s looks or other appealing physical attributes. But remember that true love doesn’t recede with his hairline. To keep your relationship healthy weekend getaways, or just-the-two-of-you vacations to rekindle the spark that ignited your relationship.
THE LISTMAKER You have criteria that are important, and you won’t change them. Because of the emphasis on sticking to this criteria no matter what, you may put too much pressure on your partner to live up to your standards. In this case, the best thing to keep your love life happy is let go of the list. 

THE OBSESSIVE Here you want to spend all your time with your partner. And you
constantly worry about your relationship, even when you’ve been together for years. This kind of partner can be overbearing or have highs and lows that drive her significant other crazy. Don’t crowd your lover. You may need to talk to a counselor who can help you understand why you feel so insecure and help you find ways to put your relationship in perspective. 

 
THE GIVER You may give more than you get. You’re constantly working selflessly to meet your partner’s needs, but you’re not looking after you. To keep your relationship healthy it’s important to have a life outside of your marriage. Develop your own interests, cultivate your own friendships, and reserve time to do things you like to do-without your partner. 

 
THE PLAYERS You love courtship, and are easily bored in long-term relationships. Avoid situations that could lead to affairs. Take temptation out of your life. Instead of looking for excitement outside your relationship, try something new with your partner (a new hobby or activity). 

THE PAL Love seems to creep up on you, and suddenly you realise that you have fallen for your best friend. In the long term, your relationship may be quiet, but it’s strong. In this case, don’t let your thing get too platonic. Express your love, and make your partner feel sexy.
