RELATIONSHIPS: The Importance of Compliments in a Relationship — MSN Dating & Personals/Match.com

Why are compliments important, how should they be phrased for maximum effectiveness, when should they be delivered, etc.? I’m looking for comments/anecdotes/observations, which I’ll include in the article with full attribution. I’m a freelancer. Contact:XXXXXXXX
