Take The Valentine’s Quiz: If Your Romantic Life is less than you Imagined or Nonexistent!

Feb. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- MIAMI – If your relationship or romantic life is anything less than you imagined––or it’s nonexistent––consider brushing up on your relationship skills. This Valentine’s Day, New York Times bestselling author and relationship expert Laura Doyle, pioneer of the “Romance Revolution,” is providing tips for women to create lifelong romance, success.  Women can start by assessing their habits with free quizzes at www.lauradoyle.org: Rate Your Dating Skills for single women or Rate Your Intimacy Skills for wives and unmarried women in long-term monogamous relationships. This will give women an idea about which of their relationship skills needs work. On Valentine’s Day, a day known as a celebration of romance, many women find themselves in relationships that are not romantic at all and others are lonely and wonder why they cannot find love?

One of the habits that women with lifelong romance cultivate is leaving their professional persona behind when the working day or parenting day is done in favor of honoring their feminine nature—the part that longs to feel desired, cherished and protected. Wise women realize that the goals at work or in motherhood are very different from their goals in romance. At work, women want to improve the bottom line or get a promotion, to manage their business, staff and projects. As mothers, women strive to nurture, teach and guide their children. In romance women want someone to desire them and tell them they are beautiful, to make them laugh and feel cherished. Those goals require different skill sets.

Next, consider making this Valentine’s Day the kickoff for learning the skills needed to become a beloved wife or girlfriend instead of just a co-parent, roommate or hopeful single. Start by practicing one of the universal qualities among women who have magical romances: Become a great receiver.

A woman who receives graciously wouldn’t dismiss or reject a compliment by saying that her hair is dirty after her husband or boyfriend said how pretty it looks. She accepts gifts graciously by saying, “Thank you,” not  “You didn’t have to.” If someone offers to help a good receiver move a chair, toss the salad or open the door, she accepts the help gratefully.

“This Valentine’s Day, every woman should learn how much power she has to create an absolutely wonderful romance,” said Laura Doyle. “Too many women think that it only happens in movies and fairy tales. Every woman can join the Romance Revolution and make her own romance magic.”

Not everyone has gotten the word yet that they can put an end to chronic heartbreak and loneliness by learning a few skills, but this summer hundreds will make that breakthrough at the Lifelong Romance Retreat for women in South Florida from June 22nd - 24th. The retreat is co-presented by Gladys Diaz with Hearts Desire International (www.heartsdesireintl.com). For more information about the Lifelong Romance Retreat, please visit www.lauradoyle.org.
