Getting Back to the Basics of Love and Romance
Almost every love story has the potential to begin as if
it were a fairy tale. “Once upon a time,
two people fell passionately in love and their love was unlike any others
before theirs.” Relationship beginnings
are wonderful and they can experience a ‘rebirth’ with a wedding, honeymoon and
the exciting first year of marriage.
Once a couple begins to grow and their lives change with jobs, children,
social activities and other commitments, the love and romance becomes more
difficult to attend to. Sometimes love
and romance seem to be lost altogether.
This destiny is not unavoidable if you want to rekindle the passion or
simply bring it to a new level by becoming a hopeless romantic.
When
you want to ignite the passion in your relationship but you aren’t sure what
you need to do, the best place to begin is at the beginning. Think about the things that you used to do
for your partner at the beginning of your relationship. If you don’t remember or never tried to be a
true romantic, don’t worry. It’s not
difficult and once you begin you will find that you will get your own new ideas
after a while.
Most
new relationships or new beginnings rely on the ‘little’ things to show love
and affection. Be sure to remember
special ‘couple’ days like Valentine’s Day, Anniversaries and even the date you
met if possible. Be sure to send a
meaningful gift or just a dozen roses and a box of chocolates to celebrate your
feelings for your partner. Women can do
exactly the same thing for men here. Not
many men can resist candy!
You
may not consider yourself to be a writer, but writing your partner a long love
letter with your thoughts about how you feel for the other person is one of the
most touching ways to spark romance. If
you aren’t comfortable writing a letter, consider making lists about what you
love the most about your partner. Lists
can be about the things they do that makes you laugh, what they do for you that
you appreciate, how they make you feel inside, how beautiful or handsome they
are and other very personal but attentive details.
Call
your partner and talk softly and loving.
If he or she isn’t able to answer the phone, leave loving messages on
their voice mail or answering machine.
Talk dirty when you know that he or she can’t return the same
conversation on the other end.
Sometimes
couples feel more comfortable trying to bring romance into their relationship
by bestowing gifts on their partner.
While classics like flowers, candy and perfume or cologne are almost
always successful gifts, try ‘giving’ something different. Make plans to go see every romantic movie
that comes to the theater during the year.
Bring home a bottle of champagne to celebrate even the tiniest
accomplishment he or she has had.
Randomly send romantic and/or humorous greeting cards to his or her
workplace or hide them under the bed pillows at home.
