Keeping Romance In Your Relationship
- True Love!
Mrs. Figgins doesn’t have to tell you that relationships take work, but it does help know the most effective ways to strengthen that commitment.
Simple as it sounds, communicating daily, showing affection and laughter is what keeps romance alive.” YES, it does take work. But if you are committed, with a good partner, you will be able to handle the ups and downs of life.
Begin laying the foundation of good communication and affection early on!
1. LOVE!
SHOW YOUR LOVE. SHOW IT and SAY IT. It will surprise you in the most magnificent ways.
Always say I LOVE YOU before your partner lays that sweet head down to sleep. Tomorrow is not promised…and today is all you have in hand.
2. Laughter
LAUGH!!! LAUGH!!! LAUGH!!!
My goodness, keep the laughter front and center. “Laughing is a cornerstone. It is essential, and irreplaceable.
3. Touch
Touching is critical.. Remember how you felt in the beginning. Begin and end each day with touch.
A kiss and a hug at the very least 3 times a day.
4. Compliments
Keep compliments Flowing EVERY DAY
No matter how insignificant the deed may seem. Let your partner know if they’re special. Go on – make it a habit.
You’ll be the better for it.
5. Stay Connected
Touch Base Mid-Day. Just a quick “Hello, I Love You”.
6. Speak Your Mind
GENTLY (and yes, sometimes firmly, but do it with LOVE).
7. Partner Time
Schedule time for each of you…individually.
Every relationship needs time for the individual partner. Exercise, washing the car, yard work, or fiddling with the autos. After a hard days work, give each other the time and space to “unwind”. You’ll be better for yourself and your partner.
8. End the Day …and begin the Next Day…with Intimacy
For you married couples: Life happens, kids happen, work happens, school happens…things happen. It doesn’t always have to begin or end with sexual intimacy.
This being said…fit it in!
