Prepare to Pace Yourself:
It might seem quite
exciting to have all kinds of romantic ideas and suggestions floating
through your head at this point, but it is important to remember that
romance can’t be rushed or piled on all at once. If it is, all
of the intentions behind every move will be lost or misinterpreted.
It is important to keep in mind that romance is best when you don’t
misrepresent yourself or who you are to your spouse, you always start
with the basics, and you move forward a single step at a time.
If you change your
mental attitude so that you can commit yourself to creating romance
in your marriage, you can make just about anything romantic. As difficult
as it might seem, with the right mindset you can make cleaning the
toilet a romantic task. On the other hand, without a committed romantic
attitude, you can take a beautiful stroll on a moonlit beach and turn
it into an unhappy and uncomfortable experience.
You must have some
sort of feelings for your spouse or you wouldn’t be interested
in improving your marriage by adding romance. Romance is simply about
taking action on how you feel towards your spouse. Because love is
a feeling, your spouse can’t see the proof in the emotion because
it is something that isn’t tangible and can be seen or touched.
You feel the love for your spouse and the romance is the action that
comes about as a result of that love. Romance will start as a new
attitude with the right intentions, but it must grow beyond. It must
be able to show your spouse how much you love him or her through actions
in words, presents, gentle caresses and more.
Once you become a beginning
romantic and you are well into your romantic thought processes, you
will find that your spouse is truly appreciative of all the little
things that you do for him or her. It’s the small things you’ve
added to your daily lives like making sure he or she knows their loved
before anything else is said or the phone call for no particular reason
other than to tell them that they are on your mind. These small actions
tend to stay with the other person longer and have more of an impact
than expensive, materialistic gifts.
Most marriages suffer
from a bland and generic form of romance born of obligation. These
couples honor Valentine’s Day, birthdays, and anniversaries
only because it is necessary if they want to be able to sleep in their
own bed that night. Special marriages that others find enviable take
advantage of a rarer form of romance that is practiced as more of
an option than an obligation. These couples choose to be romantic
not because they have to, but because they want to. While they still
honor the ‘obligatory’ special days, all of the other
days are just as special because they have made them that way with
each other.
Your spouse is the
best resource you have for romantic creativity. He or she may already
be giving you signs and hints.
