We all remember when we first fell in love. Everything was good and nothing else mattered. All we cared about was each other, and neither of us could do anything wrong, in the eyes of the other. So what happened?
Life happened, didn't it? Romance relationships always start out at the center of our world, but the more time we spend with each other, the more we find that our attention is drawn back to the necessities of life, to the responsibilities and things we can no longer ignore. When we come back down to the real world and wrestle with our every day stresses, we begin to let our defenses down and show our true selves, and in the process, begin to see the shortcomings in our significant other also. If we let these other things consume us to the point of forgetting to nurture the relationship, we may soon find we have serious problems and perhaps even our marriage is in crisis!
It doesn't necessarily have to get to this point. If you discover yourself wishing you had those good feelings you had once before, that is a sign telling you that it is time to start taking action now. No, you can never go back to exactly the way it was before, because your relationship has matured over time and is much more complex now. That is a good thing. You have gone through good times and bad times together, and as a result you are prepared to face the world together, a stronger and wiser team than you were in the beginning of your relationship. You just need to add the romantic component back into your relationship to make it as whole and fulfilling as it can be.
So how do you keep the romance and love alive? It just takes a little effort, a little commitment and a willingness to put in a little extra energy. The reward will be well worth it. If you think about it, I'm confident you know what you have to do.
Plan time together. Schedule it in if you have to, turn off the electronic devices and pawn the kids off on grandma - - this is your time!
Be more spontaneous. Even in little ways - take a different route on everyday trips, stop at a shop or restaurant you never even noticed before, just because it's there and your together, give him/her a little gift "just because..."
Be more affectionate. Take a few extra moments for a kiss and a hug.
Think of your partner first and often in everything you do - - you will be rewarded!
It doesn't take much skill, talent or even brains to keep romance alive. All it takes is a commitment to yourself to make a consistent effort, and a wee little bit of imagination. Don't convince yourself that you need a complicated scheme like you see in the movies or on tv, it is a series of little things that shows how much you care, and it will be noticed more than you think. Ignore this advice at your own risk, the rewards of keeping the romance alive in your relationship are overwhelmingly worth the small investment.
