Romance is an important part of giving life to any marriage and is all about letting your spouse know how much you care about them. What works will vary from one person to the next. Some people like to be told they are loved, others want to feel the love through physical contact and for others its all about what you do.
Work out what resonates with you partner and then try out some of the following suggestions for romance:
Tell them you love them by
. Sending a
love letter, you know, the old fashioned way through the post.
. Composing a
to send to them while they are at work
. Get your fingers moving and send them a text message
. Leave a love note someplace they will easily find it - you could try taping it to the steering wheel, leaving one on the fridge door, on the clock by the bed.
. Get some colored chalk and scrawl a BIG heart with "I love you" right in the center.
. Put together a list of the reasons why you love your spouse and have it framed and give it to them.
. Give out compliments about how wonderful they look, or how proud you are of them, or how they make you feel when they smile at you
If touch works best for your partner you can:
. Treat them to a massage - feet and back are common stores for tension
. Touch each other often. For example, hold hands as you walk along or touch feet under the table during dinner.
. Practise giving random hugs
. Romance in public - an arm around their shoulders, a gentle squeeze or touch.
. Get into your pajamas and put on a romantic comedy
. Kiss often - especially when you say hello and goodbye
If actions are what your loved one needs then concentrate on gestures that illustrate your feelings . You can try:
. Place your partner's towel on the heater or in the dryer while they shower
. Organise for flowers to be sent to your partner's work.
. Arrive home with your spouse's favorite magazine or snack.
. Make time for a lunch date. After send them a
loving text or email. Let them know how enjoyable lunch was.
. Draw up some love coupons - you could offer to be their love slave for the evening.
. If your partner is always the one to do the cooking offer to organize dinner one evening. You could either cook up something or pick up takeaway.
. Buy a CD that has the music you listened to when you first met and give it to them with a note saying how happy listening to the music makes you feel.
. Phone just to say "I love you."
You could also try out a combination of all of the above. You are only limited by your imagination and willingness to make it happen.
