Be Romantic Today
I HAD AN AFFAIR BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROMANCE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP. I have heard this one a million times or more. With so many couples running hectic life's today it is not surprising that there is very little romance in relationships.
Romance isn't just about going out to a posh restaurant, or a dozen red roses, but a relationship does need romance to survive. Our life's run in a routinely pattern, we get up, shower, go to work, take care of the kids, spend time with friends, and so on then go to bed.
On average we spend 10 hours a day with our partner, at least 7 of those sleeping. So how can we make time for romance as well as everything else that needs taking care of? Don't fret it can be done.
It started with a kiss
As soon as you wake up give your loved one a kiss and tell them how much you love them. Then before he/she leaves for work give him/her another kiss. This will make them feel good all day and will let them know how much you love them.
Give him/her a call
How long does it take to say "I love you"? A second. Even the high flying executive can afford to take a second out of their day and it is a second worth using. Phone him/her and tell them that you love them and have being thinking about them all day. The two of you will feel loved and will look forward to seeing each other.
Flowers
On your way home stop at the local park and pick a few flowers. Most people would go out and buy a bunch but I personally think that it is more romantic to pick them. It shows how much thought and work went in to getting them. Then when she greets you give her them.
Wait for him/her
If you are home first, be waiting at the door for him/her and greet him/her with a kiss and cuddle.
A surprise cuddle
When he/she is sitting doing what ever it is they do sit beside them and give them a cuddle. You could rent a film and snuggle up together for the night. (Go on forget the housework it will still be there tomorrow.)
A meal for two
If you are the one that rarely does the cooking in your house, surprise her with a candlelit dinner for two.
A bath together
Run a bath ready for when your loved one comes home from work and join him/her.
These are just a few ideas to help you out. Remember a kiss and a cuddle is just as romantic as being wined and dined. But spending an evening out is also needed at least once a month.
