Has your relationship become stale? As Mary Poppins would say, all you need is ''a spoonful of sugar.'' Being sweet to each other can add positive energy to your relationship according to the June issue of Redbook.
• Express gratitude: Express thanks and appreciation for even the little things, like making the bed.
• Be polite: Use ''please'' and ``you're welcome.''
• Look, smile and touch: Nonverbal communication can say a lot.
• Celebrate big and small milestones: Don't let little victories slip by.
