Romance: How to keep it in your relationship

Romance: How to keep it in your relationship

If you are a long time suffer of our blog, or our daily ezine at goals-4-life.com, you will know that our beat is goal setting, health and parenting. One thing that is essential to at least two of these aspects (health and parenting) is a solid, genuine relationship, where you feel you have the support of your partner, can tell them anything, and are romantic with each other.

Today, we qould like to explore romance, and how important it is for you and your relationship.

Romance is easy in the first stages of a relationship. You can buy your partner flowers, you can take them out to a romantic meal, you can write them a sweet letter. Albeit, as time goes on, couples tend to say that they feel the romance lessen; kids come in the picture; they suddenly feel that their romance is taking a second step.

This is quite sad. Romance is an integral part of any relationship, and with some simple steps, and a small amount of effort it is easy to rekindle. So lets explore romance and what you can do to get it back in your relationship.

  • Romantic gestures trigger the memories of falling in love (you remember those euphoria type feelings? These are the ones we are talking about!!!)
  • Romance is the show and tell of true love. While women generally need romance more than men (we still need it to!!!), your partner going to an effort to be romantic to you, lets you know that they love you and care for you.
  • Behaviour can affect feelings. The beauty of romance is that you can change negative feels to positive feels in you and your partner, just by been a little romantic.

At the end of the day romance is the expression of love through words, gestures, and actions. It is the thoughts behind these words, gestures and actions that make them romantic. The great thing is that they don't have to be big things. A simple picnic, a night out at the movies, a card etc is all you need to start those romantic feelings again.

So our advice for today: If you are lucky enough to have a partner be romantic with them. Think of all the romantic things you can do together. It will be a major boast for you and your relationship!!!

Cheers
