We all remember when we first fell in love with our partner. Everything was good and nothing else mattered. All we thought about was each other, and neither of us could do anything wrong, in the eyes of the other. What happened?
Life happened, didn't it? Romance relationships always begin at the center of our attention, but the more time we spend with each other, the more we find our attention drawn back to the demands of life, to the responsibilities and things we can no longer neglect. When we come back down to the real world and face our day-to-day stresses, we begin to let our defenses down and show our true selves, and at the same time, start to see the flaws in our significant other too. If we let these other things consume our energy to the point of forgetting about the relationship, we may soon find we have serious problems and maybe even our marriage is in crisis!
It doesn't have to come to this situation. If you discover yourself longing for those good feelings you had once before, that is a sign telling you that it is time to begin taking action now. No, you can never go back to exactly the way it was, because your relationship has matured over time and is much more complex now. That is a wonderful thing. You have weathered good times and bad times together, and now you are prepared to face the world together, a stronger and wiser team than you were in the beginning of your relationship. You merely need to inject 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 only takes a little effort, a bit of 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 sure you realize 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 great skill, talent or even brains to keep your romance alive. All it really takes is a commitment to yourself to make a consistent effort, and just a 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 demonstrates how much you care, and it will be noticed more than you think. Ignore this advice at your own peril, the rewards of keeping the romance alive in your relationship are overwhelmingly worth it.
