 Getting Back to the Basics of Love and Romance:
Almost every love story
has the potential to begin as if it were a fairy tale. “Once
upon a time, two people fell passionately in love and their love was
unlike any others before theirs.” Relationship beginnings are
wonderful and they can experience a ‘rebirth’ with a wedding,
honeymoon, and the exciting first year of marriage. Once a couple
begins to grow and their lives change with jobs, children, social
activities and other commitments, the love and romance becomes more
difficult to attend to. Sometimes love and romance seems to be lost
altogether. This destiny is not unavoidable if you want to rekindle
the passion or simply bring it to a new level by becoming a hopeless
romantic.
When you want to ignite
the passion in your relationship but you aren’t sure what you
need to do, the best place to begin is at the beginning. Think about
the things that you used to do for your partner at the beginning of
your relationship. If you don’t remember or never tried to be
a true romantic, don’t worry. It’s not difficult and once
you begin you will find that you will get your own new ideas after
a while.
Most new relationships
or new beginnings rely on the ‘little’ things to show
love and affection. Be sure to remember special ‘couple’
days like Valentine’s Day, Anniversaries and even the date you
met if possible. Be sure to send a meaningful gift or just a dozen
roses and a box of chocolates to celebrate your feelings for your
partner. Women can do exactly the same thing for men here. Not many
men can resist candy!
You may not consider
yourself to be a writer, but writing your partner a long love letter
with your thoughts about how you feel for the other person is one
of the most touching ways to spark romance. If you aren’t comfortable
writing a letter, consider making lists about what you love the most
about your partner. Lists can be about the things they do that makes
you laugh, what they do for you that you appreciate, how they make
you feel inside, how beautiful or handsome they are and other very
personal but attentive details.
Call your partner and
talk softly and loving. If he or she isn’t able to answer the
phone, leave loving messages on their voice mail or answering machine.
Talk dirty when you know that he or she can’t return the same
conversation on the other end.
Sometimes couples feel
more comfortable trying to bring romance into their relationship by
bestowing gifts on their partner. While classics like flowers, candy
and perfume or cologne are almost always successful gifts, try ‘giving’
something different. Make plans to go see every romantic movie that
comes to the theater during the year. Bring home a bottle of champagne
to celebrate even the tiniest accomplishment he or she has had. Randomly
send romantic and/or humorous greeting cards to his or her workplace
or hide them under the bed pillows at home.
These suggestions are
simply ideas to get you started in your effort to bring romance and
love to a new level in your marriage. You may have your own ideas
and those are most likely better than anything offered here. Once
you open the door to romance in your marriage and begin to build a
foundation for future romance, you are ready to move to even more
creative levels of romance.
When entering into
the world of romance with your spouse, you should always keep in mind
that something you may find romantic may not be romantic to your partner.
This is often due to the differences between the preferences and thought
processes of men and women.
