How to Keep Romance Alive in a Relationship
No one can compare the first days of a loving relationship, where sparks ignite to give way to fiery romance and dates. This later on fades with time as the couple get to know each other more. In most cases, individuals will give priority to other things in life and completely disregard the emotional part of life. Neglect breeds neglect and sometimes, no one will give back attention when they don’t receive. In the end what started out to be a fiery heated romantic relationship turns into a routine, cold and passive one. What most people forget is that when dealing with emotions, you deal with an inner child. You dig into that vulnerable place where no one likes to reveal. And just like a child, the heart always craves attention. A simple “Hello,” “How was your day?” can go a long way. Here are a few ways to keep the romance alive.
Random Gifts
Life can be harsh at times but it is important to always be positive and never focus on hard times. With this said, even when you are going through financial crisis, health issues or any other kind of drama, it is important to still acknowledge your partner. A random gift doesn’t have to be expensive; it is a simple gesture that reminds the person how dear they are to you. Romance doesn’t necessarily evolve around great sex, a connection has to be festered and this can only be done with a show of affection.
Open Minded
Familiarity can easily breed boredom in the bedroom. Once you know what to expect in bed there isn’t much to look forward to. This calls for creativity and may include but not limited to, role playing, sex toys, oral sex and in some cases dressing up in sexy lingerie and sliding down a pole. Having an open mind and trying out new things in bed gives you something to look forward to when you get home from work.
Romantic Getaways
Nothing rekindles a relationship like a romantic getaway. Taking time away from work and kids and focusing on the two of you will light up that fire that you once had for each other. It all goes back to feeding the emotional being in you. Once you are fed love and affection you give it all back in three folds.
Forgiveness
Learning to settle disputes, forgiving and moving on from them releases you of any bitterness with your ex. Everyone wants to feel loved but no one is perfect. Once you harbor bitterness from what your partner did, you will always look at his flaws. This leads to you loosing the connection in your relationship and being distant from each passing day.
Relationships are hard work but it needs two people to make it work. You will always know when the two of you are not connected and this can be rather frustrating. However, learn to count your blessings and fester your relationship with unconditional love, the fire will always burn bright.
