How to Keep the Romance in Your Relationship
They say that relationships have a honeymoon period, the time when everything is new and fresh in a relationship. Then, all of the sudden, that period passes and you are left with a person you love and know well. One of the keys to prolonging the period of discovery in your relationship is to keep the romance in your life. This is a simple task, but takes work and dedication. Follow these steps to keep the romance in your relationship.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step One
Donââ¬â¢t sweat the small stuff. If your partner does something that mildly annoys you, donââ¬â¢t feel the need to let him/her know every time.
Step Two
Keep the lines of communication wide open. Many problems in a relationship can be traced back to a breakdown in communication. Be honest and open with one another.
Step Three
Remember what you did to make her or her fall in love with you in the first place. Try to be the same sweet person you were when you started dating.
Step Four
Be spontaneous. Everyone loves surprises. Try to incorporate off-the-wall and fun things into your daily life.
Step Five
Take time for the two of you. Set a night each week for a date, even if it's just renting a movie and getting a pizza. You need to have quality time together.
Step Six
Get away. Take a vacation. Or at the very least, stay overnight in a nice local hotel and act like you are away.
