Keeping Lesbian Love Alive

It takes a lot of work and commitment to keep any relationship alive and lesbians are no exception. We are prone to the phenomenon known as "lesbian bed death", and this must be avoided at all cost to keep your love alive. My partner and I follow these simple steps to keep our relationship going in a positive direction.



"Communication. Tell her you love her and what you love about her and make it truthful because she will know if you're lying. Also, if something is bothering you tell her and tell her why it bothers you and how it makes you feel, but remember to do it in a constructive way. Let her know you are listening when she talks and be open to what she has to say.
"Trust. Actions speak volumes, if you say you are going to do something-Do It, No Excuses! Don't give any reasons for her to be jealous, be where you say you are going to be when you say you are going to be there.
"Date Night. Do this at least once a week and try to make it romantic. Cook a romantic dinner and don't forget the flowers, get a hotel room for the night, or just wine and a nice long warm bath with romantic music playing and of course lots of candles. The important thing is you are together with no kids, no friends, and no family.
"Intimacy. While sitting watching television, massage her shoulders and back or rub her feet or play with her hair, you never know where it may lead next.
"Togetherness. Have some shared activities and goals. Enjoy the time you spend together doing these activities.
"Space. Everyone needs "alone" time. Allow her this time and don't take it personally. Also don't forget to take personal time for yourself.
All solid long term relationships take work and persistence but it's worth all the effort. Remember to keep your relationship as your number one priority and you can have a healthy long term lesbian relationship.
