 Mark Your “New” Beginnings By Making Memories:
As you and your partner
begin exploring your romantic sides and you are both providing new
and creative ways in which to express your love for one another, you
may find that you want to do what you can to hold on to as many of
these memories as possible. Consider starting a ‘memory’
chest or box with your spouse where you can place all of the important
and considerate items that will remind you how romantic your experiences
have been.
If you and your spouse have started
to enjoy spending nights out on the town together, you can begin by
saving what you collect while you are out and about. Keep all of your
theater ticket stubs, movie theater stubs, concert ticket stubs, and
even restaurant receipts if you choose. If you eat somewhere that
offers matchbooks or something comparable, you might want to begin
picking one up and putting it in a special box when you arrive at
home. For a more organized version of this, those who love scrapbooking
can create a scrapbook around these items or you can simply place
them in photo albums so that you and your spouse can go back to see
all that you have experienced together.
Some couples love to go on vacation
together and romance can play a huge role in most of them. Tropical
or mild vacation destinations are quite popular and can provide a
number of romantic items that can return home at little or no cost.
You can collect shells or fill a small bottle of sand marked with
the beach it came from to keep at home. I know one family that collected
seashells and surrounded the base of their swimming pool with them!
For couples that prefer to take both tropical and wintry vacations,
the colder climates provide similarly beautiful trinkets for couples
to collect like pinecones and even melted snow!
If you and your spouse enjoy wine
and/or champagne, you will start saving the labels and corks from
the bottles. You can save them in plastic bags marked with the occasion
and any other notable information from when the beverage was used.
For couples who enjoy road trips, keep maps from all of the journeys
you’ve taken together or keep a large map on the wall at home
so that you can mark where you’ve been with pushpins.
Make your own special memories just
by staying at home. Challenge each other romantically by trying to
agree on the most romantic kiss that has even been in a movie. Buy
that movie and try to recreate that kiss with each other! Place the
movie in your memory box and revisit it frequently. If you can’t
agree on just one kiss, name the top five and repeat the aforementioned
steps with all five! Next, try and agree on the most romantic song
ever made. Buy the CD (or download the single and burn it) and dance
with each other to that song. Place the song in your memory box and
again, dance to it frequently.
Romance can become to do a way of
life if you chose to allow it. Allow it!
