Keep The Romance Alive!
It’s human nature to desire companionship. Some of us will “settle” for any kind of relationship in order to have that bond we so need with another human being. As a matter of fact, some of will settle for the companionship of our pets at times – it’s much preferable to being alone.
The beauty of a relationship that works, one that “is meant to be” is simple but oh so complex. When you find that someone that you feel so intense about, so strongly about that you feel life just wouldn’t be the same without him/her, then it is time to cherish and nurture that relationship.
Relationships are like beautiful flowers. When cared for properly they grow and bloom, bringing joy to our life. But left unattended they will wilt and die. So what are the proper steps to be taken when caring for a growing or mature relationship?
It can be summed up in one word – Romance! Life has a way of dulling romance as time goes by, but only if you allow that to happen. There are some simple keys to keeping romance alive in any relationship.
Start by setting aside quality time that is reserved for only the two of you - do this on a weekly basis. Do not let anything change this. This should be a top priority. Call it date night or your special night or whatever, it doesn’t matter. The important thing is that this time belongs to the two of you alone.
Consider for a moment the fun things that the both of you enjoy. Whether that’s indoor or outdoor activities, find some pleasurable times that you can share. Enjoy the bonding interests you have in common together.
In addition to the routine of life, such as keeping house, paying bills and raising kids, find an activity that you can enjoy together that is a long-term venture. This could be anything that will enrich your lives. Consider dance lessons, fitness training, basically anything that isn’t a quick activity. The purpose of this is to find a bonding activity.
Disagreements and conflicts are a natural part of any relationship. There may be times that you agree to disagree or other times that the argument ends with each of you going to separate ends of the house. It’s okay to have a cooling off time but it is not okay to allow things to fester. At a time when things are going well in the relationships make some rules related to an agreement to resolve any disputes within a given period of time. The sooner the better.
Some relationships seem to become stale over time. Keep spontaneity alive. Consciously create romance. An ideal way to do that is by surprising your significant other with a romantic gift. 10 Ways To Rekindle The
Magic In Your Relationship
Are you frustrated that
your relationship doesn’t have the magic and romance that it once had?
You’re not alone. Living
with the same partner for a long time can become stable and comfortable, and,
as a result, can also cause the loss of the spark that made your relationship
so special in the first place. Here are some simple, fun and creative ideas
to reignite that magic:
1. Send them a
unique gift at work - Get
a piece of paper and some crayons. Draw a bright childlike picture with a smiley
sun and two stick figures holding hands. Add labels with your two names pointing
to the stick figures. Write ‘I Love You’ inside a heart. Next get a large formal
envelope. Place your drawing inside and type up a formal address label of your
partner's workplace, such as: “For the immediate and urgent attention of: Rebecca
Jones, Level 20, Collins & Smith Solicitors, New York.” Mail it to your partner
so they receive it in the middle of a busy day.
2. Become kids
again - If you are walking by a park, visit the swings and give your
partner a ride. This will often bring back happy memories from their childhood.
3. Fun with water
- On a hot summer’s day, buy two large water pistols and take them
to the beach with you. Pull them out and throw one to your partner and then
have a huge water fight.

4. A massage with
a twist - Buy a small, decorated cardboard box, a sheet of colored
tissue paper, some massage oil and a blank card. Line the box with the tissue
paper. Place the massage oil in the box and write the following message on the
card: I know a great masseur. For an appointment call: (Your Phone Number)
5. Bring back childhood
memories - Contact your partner's family and ask if there was anything
she always wanted when she was a little girl. For example if she always wanted
a porcelain doll, buy one for her birthday. She will not only appreciate the
gift, but also the fact that you were thoughtful enough to find out what she
always wanted. You can do this for your man too.
6. Stare at the
clouds - Drive into the country, find a grassy hill, and lie with your
partner and look up at the clouds.
7. Go for a walk
on the beach - Trace out the shape of a large love heart in the sand.
Sit inside the heart and cuddle your partner as you watch the sun go down.
8. Organize a backyard
picnic on a warm summer’s night - Spread
a picnic blanket on the ground and get together some snacks, chocolates and
champagne. Lie down on the blanket with your partner and gaze up at the stars
together.
9. Show you’re
grateful for your partner - Leave
a long-stem rose where your partner will find it, with a note on it saying:
"Thank you for coming into my life."
10. Spice up your
lovemaking - Probably the most profound way to rekindle the romance
in your relationship is to spice up your lovemaking. Surprise your partner with
a little gift after you make love, try a new position, learn to give your partner
a sensual massage before or after, or just spend some time staring into each
other’s eyes and caressing their bare skin before making love.
Many people underestimate
the affect passionate and intimate lovemaking has on a relationship. If you
spice it up, chances are you and your partner will naturally do romantic things
for each other. Why? Because passionate lovemaking connects two people in a
meaningful and unexplainable way that nothing else can.
