Romance Regulations:
You know that you want
to make your relationship with your spouse special and romance is
the ideal way to do that. Romance keeps the passion and love alive
in any relationship, but just like most good things romance comes
with a few rules in order to make it work. Romance can be planned
or spontaneous and both are perfectly acceptable. Spontaneous romance
is almost always wonderful because both you and your spouse are often
caught up in the moment and you are both sharing an intimate experience
together. It is often when you plan romance that mistakes can be made
if you aren’t aware of the rules of romance.
The first and probably
most important rule of romance is that your relationship should always
come first in your life. While this may be a difficult concept for
those who have put so much time and effort into your career, but when
you are retired and cuddling with your spouse on the front porch you
probably won’t be wishing you had spent more time at work. Everything
in your life should be an outpouring from your relationship. Everything
you do should be because of your marriage and the love you share with
your spouse. When considering this idea, be sure not to mistake it
with being the one in your relationship who must always suffer for
the sake of principle. That can only hurt your relationship. A good
marriage consists of two people who always support and encourage each
other.
When you bring romance
into your relationship, it is crucial that you understand it is your
spouse who defines what is romantic. You can give her chocolates,
flowers and jewelry until you are broke, but it won’t do a thing
for your marriage if she doesn’t like chocolate, flowers and
jewelry. The same goes for wives giving to husbands. Pay attention
to his or her likes and dislikes. There’s no point in cooking
a special meal all day long if he’s got a craving for chicken
wings.
When two people get
married and their lives grow together, there seems to be less and
less opportunity for spontaneity. This isn’t a bad thing! Planning
is simply creating the opportunity. Plan goes out a week or even an
entire month of romance. Plan your Anniversary celebration. Plan a
surprise night out on the town. The element of surprise is just as
good as spontaneity. In fact, it’s probably better. You spent
time putting thought and effort into your gesture. Impulsive is great,
but planned can be better.
Romance doesn’t
always mean presenting gifts. Gifts are wonderful gestures, especially
if they are something he or she can truly appreciate but they cannot
compensate for some of the more important romantic gestures in a relationship-
special time with each other. Special time with each other doesn’t
mean going out and doing things each weekend. Spending times together
on the sofa or not rushing through dinner and enjoy each other’s
company is very romantic. Give it a try and you’ll see how romantic
simple time together can truly be!
Something that most
couples treasure for a lifetime is when their spouse presents them
with an original love note. Do you have a love note phobia?
