Every relationship has it's share of memories, both good and bad.

What memories do you celebrate in your relationship?

Most couples have never even considered the question. But in any long term relationship, there are memories to celebrate.

Celebrating memories

Celebrating memories bonds couples to each other and sustains and increases the emotional connection.

Here are a few tips for celebrating the memories in your relationship.

1. Remember when... - The words "remember when" should be heard often in your relationship. It's like a regular dose of connection and celebration.

2. Put it one the wall - Something I always notice in someone's home are the pictures on the walls. These photos have been deemed important enough to frame and put up for all to see. In these photos you can find memories and story and heart. When you see them each day in your own home, they are a quiet reminder of your love and your history.

3. Scrap book it - Scrap booking has become million dollar industry. Why not use it to celebrate your relationships. You can have a scrapbook for each year, for holidays for trips, or all about one person, just to name a few ideas.

So here are two strong suggestions:

1. Celebrate your memories.

2. Go make some memories.
