WHO says you need a special day to stay starry-eyed? Discovery Weekend shares some tips on nurturing love and relationships:

1. Focus on feelings, not on judgments or issues because feelings are neither right nor wrong.

2. Weekly dates are a must. Find time to be together.

3. Be affectionate and affirm each other daily. Hold hands, embrace, kiss often, flirt with each other

4. If married, have your own home, no matter how small. No parents, no in-laws, no siblings.

5. Never involve other people (especially friends and family) in a quarrel. Instead, go see a counselor or someone who can ?referee? for the two of you.

6. Have a shared spirituality.

7. Be each other?s best friend.

8. Join an apostolate like the Discovery Weekend Program. DW graduate couples are invited to attend ?DW@30,? the 30th Anniversary and Homecoming dinner on Feb. 28, 7pm at the San Jose Seminary Gym, Ateneo de Manila University.
