Simple Ways to Make Your Relationship More Romantic

Sharon Moore September 20, 2013

It’s easy to start a new relationship, but it’s definitely hard to keep it without losing track of romance and excitement. Many long-term couples find trouble in keeping the fire burning between them, especially those who already have children. There are plenty of reasons for this. One is that many couples no longer have time to spend intimate moments with each other. Even if they’re sleeping in the same bed, they are both occupied with their individual responsibilities that they rarely have time to talk about their relationship.

Bringing back the romance

There’s more to keeping the romance alive than candlelit dinners, movie dates or bubble baths. Both partners should work hard to keep their relationship thriving, exciting and fulfilling. Here are some tips to feed your romantic fires in a deeper and more meaningful way:

A hug or a kiss can do great wonders. Before going separate ways for another work day, don’t forget to hug and kiss each other. These simple acts of affection will make both of you feel connected, even if you’re physically apart from each other. It also washes away the worries of not being loved or wanted anymore.

Compliment him or her. Anyone can say that your partner is looking sexy and gorgeous but the compliment becomes more endearing and fulfilling when it comes from you. We all have doubts about our looks but knowing that our partner thinks we are attractive makes a big difference.

Make your partner feel assured. Before you leave for work, tell your hubby you’re looking forward to seeing him or her when you return. It’s like saying that wherever you are, whoever you meet, and whatever happens, no one can ever change how you feel for your partner.

Surprise him or her. Make an unexpected visit to their workplace and kidnap your partner for a lunch date. If they couldn’t leave, just bring some takeaways. This is wonderfully romantic yet very simple thing to do.

Give your partner all your attention, whenever you can. Weekends, holidays, and evenings give us a perfect opportunity to make up for the hours that we weren’t able to spend quality time with our special someone. When you’re having quality moments with your hubby, avoid checking your phone or computer from time to time. Make your partner the apple of your eye.

Bring back play to your relationship. When was the last time you had fun together, just pure fun and silliness? Chasing each other around the house or playing ‘hide and seek’ might sound a little ‘corny’ but it can greatly help both of you feel more connected to each other.

Express your love the way your partner want it. We often show our love and affection in the way we like it. But sometimes, it is not the way they need to receive it. It’s really fine to ask your partner what you can do to make him or her feel loved. At the same time, you also want to be honest about what you want. Telling them about your concerns is one way to resolve issues that might be affecting the romance in your relationship.

Set the stage for romance. Sometimes, you have to take the lead to make positive changes in your relationship. You can create a romantic mood by dressing up, preparing a sensuous dinner, putting on the music, and so on. In a little while, expect to see your partner joining the fun!
