Catching Fire

But Peeta’s intention is clear. 

That Gale really is my family, or will be one day, if I live. That I’ll marry him. 

So Peeta’s giving me his life and Gale at the same time. 

To let me know I shouldn’t ever have doubts about it.

Everything. That’s what Peeta wants me to take from him.

“Only men need to be loved, sweetheart. 

Women need to be wanted.”

Crucial Ingredients for a Great Relationship

1. Shared sense of humour; lots of laughter and fun

2. Little gestures of thoughtfulness

3. Personal space (there needs to be separateness in your togetherness)

4. Having the ability to spend hours together (simply doing routine or humdrum things)

5.  Having “fairness and respect” rules in place for when you argue or fight

6. Having an attraction that goes beyond the physical; liking each other, and your personality

7. Believing that your partner has what it takes to live the life they want to live – believing in them always, especially when they’re down

8. Having a relationship that’s built on trust, openness, honesty and faithfulness. 

One day
