How To Bring Back Romance
1) Change your routine. Do something
spontaneous like ice skating or going to a comedy club - laughter will help you
both escape the stresses and strains of everyday life.
2) Learn something new. By taking up a hobby
together, you’ll not only spend more time as a couple, but also develop a
shared interest. Look up classes at your local leisure centre or adult
education centre.
3) Small gestures count. There’s no need to buy
any expensive presents, but a tiny moment of thoughtfulness is guaranteed to
make your other half feel special. Place a note in their briefcase, a flower in
their lunchbox or run them a bubble bath after a hard day at work.
4) Talk. Yes, it’s that easy! It’s important to
discuss what happens in your day to help you understand and show interest in
each other’s lives.
5) Compromise. It’s easy to put number one first
after ten years together, but it’s still important to make your loved one feel
supported. Going to the football or theatre are good ways of not only spending
time together but also making an effort to share each other’s passions.
6) Light a candle. Have dinner by candlelight -
the soft and romantic ambience will make even beans on toast feel special.
7) Go back in time. Revisit a place that has
memories for both of you. Reignite old emotions by taking a trip to the place
he proposed, or perhaps even having a second honeymoon!
8) The magic words. I love you: the simplest way
of keeping romance alive. Make sure you say them on a regular basis.
9) You time. If you have children, ask friends
to look after them for a night. Reserve a table, buy something new to wear and
make an effort to look your best. It’s important to set time aside and don’t
allow anything to encroach on that.
