RULE #0: Read ENTIRE thread before commenting...

Today marks 6 years of monotony… err, I mean monogamy… between me and my fiance (she knows I jest). At this point in our relationship, it’s fair to say we know each other inside and out, way beyond the metaphorical.

So today’s message is something special…

I’m gonna to share lessons I’ve learned over that time -- tips on seduction, desire, and keeping a relationship strong.

But as you’re also about to see, you can apply these ideas to marketing and use them to forge unbreakable bonds with your acolytes.

Onward!

RULE #1. Be mysterious

You can’t run up to a looker on the street and yell, “Will you be my wifey!?” Instant turnoff. You gotta slowly peal back the onion (and avoid crying in the process). No matter how vulnerable you get, there should be a part of you that’s undiscovered.

Because if she’s read every page of your big book, she’ll get bored, lose interest, and look for a new novel (one riddled with page-turning cliffhangers). Always remind her that your depth is endless. There’s always more to learn from you.

RULE #2. Break the routine

Routines are easy, efficient, and convenient. But they sap the secks right out of a red-hot relationship. Much like mystery, spontaneity adds more spice to life than Mrs. Dash.

Always sprinkle it in when you can. Because when you stop trying to surprise your spouse, you’ve stopped trying. And so will she. Period.

RULE #3. Encourage separation

If you don't have distinct friends, hobbies, or a Mission, you’re likely smothering her with a pillow of 'love.' normies like to say, “distance makes the heart grow fonder.” I know… it’s cliche. But it’s far from fake news.

Because when you’re out with the boys or ruthlessly perusing your life’s work, it reminds your partner why they’re with you and you stay planted in the forefront of her mind, even when you’re miles apart.

RULE #4. Don’t depend on her

Dependence is neediness. And neediness kills romance. Be independent individuals, fully capable of living happy, successful lives WITHOUT each other.

The phrase, “you complete me,” should never escape the gaping hole in your face. And if that’s how you feel, then you need to fill that chasm in your life first -- else you’ll never achieve dependence-free matrimony.

RULE #5. Make her feel some kind of way

Make her laugh, excited, curious. Get her hot ’n bothered. Even jealousy can be healthy (not in a fake, calculated kind of way. It should happen simply cause you're an awesome guy who can confidently talk to other women without her).

Just like good copy should tug on emotions, your actions should do the same to your lover (just not the WRONG emotions: anger, resentment, pity, spite)

RULE #6. Word is bond

Even though you should keep her guessing, she still needs to trust you without hesitation -- without skepticism. When you say something, mean it. Follow through 300%. You can’t have serious commitment (or salez) without confidence in your claims.

RULE #7. Keep your gut in check

No matter how old you get, you gotta take care of yourself. Dress sharp. Comb your hair. Exercise. Eat healthy. Because if you only look bangable once in a big blue moon, you can bid your secks life a not-so-fond farewell.

Think about it this way: if YOU wouldn’t fantasize about fugkin’ you, she definitely won’t. Instead, she’ll be thinking about some other schmoe (most likely, her ex).

So there you have it amigos.

Print this list out, pin it to your bulletin board and reference it anytime the secksual tension gets saggier than a pair of jeans worn by Lil’ Wayne

And never forget…

Just like love, the relationship with your readers needs constant maintenance

You can’t get complacent, let your skillz rust, or take your bond for granted. You gotta keep your audience intrigued and give them regular reminders why you’re the authority they follow.

Now I’m sure plenty-o folks will pick big freakin’ nits over this list. And every rule has its exception. But if you can’t see the forest through the redwoods, you need to put down the binoculars.
