 Ideas, Ideas and more Ideas!:
Relationships take work, work and
more work, but it takes hard work to have a successful, happy, and
fulfilling relationship. While you may feel like you are working very
hard at your relationship, you need to work harder. You can never
put enough effort into making a relationship successful. After the
initial ‘work’ it may not seem so much like work once
you’ve introduced or stepped up romance into your marriage.
For those of you who feel that you are hitting a brick wall when it
comes to being creatively romantic in your relationship, here are
a few ideas to get you going.
You most likely have life insurance
for both you and your spouse, so why don’t you have a warranty
for you and your spouse? Show your love and commitment by presenting
your wife or husband with a lifetime relationship warranty. Be as
specific as possible on your warranty! List your commitment and devotion
on several pages if you must, but make sure you ‘guarantee’
your dedication to the growth of your relationship.
Selfless acts are exceptional ways
to show your love and they can be very romantic. Imagine you are both
up early getting ready for work and it is ice cold outside. You go
about your routine, but you try to make it outside a good five to
ten minutes before he or she does. You start their car, turn the heat
all the way up, and brush off the snow (if any) so that when they
come out to head off to their destination they have you to thank for
your thoughtful foresight and initiative. A warm car on an icy morning
is one of the most creatively romantic gestures you can offer your
spouse.
Mark your calendar each week to remind
yourself to take the time a write down something wonderful about your
spouse. It could a reason why you love him or her, one thing he or
she did that you thought was wonderful, an inspirational thought inspired
by him or her or all of these ideas. At the completion of a year,
print out all of your thoughts on a long piece of paper and present
it to him or her as a scroll wrapped with a ribbon.
Unless your job requires constant
communication with work because you are a doctor, firefighter, etc.,
you need to stop depending on your multimedia and electronic devices
for a good amount of time each week. You can do this however suits
both you and your spouse best, whether it be random days, an entire
weekend or any other time that works for you. Disconnect from your
cell phone, computer (this includes email) television, radio and even
the newspaper or magazines. You and your spouse need to spend time
together without the distractions all forms of media present on a
daily basis. You will find yourself looking forward to this time once
you get used to not having to jump each time you hear your cell phone
or worrying about what you missed in your email. You will learn that
it call all wait and is far less important that the time you are spending
with your spouse.
You may feel creative with what are
considered to be the traditional romantic gestures like flowers and
chocolates, but that is more like borrowing. If you had the same meal
every night, you would become quite tired of it. Romance can get old,
too, if it’s the same thing over and over again.
