It’s not always easy to bring romance into a relationship. Over time, both partners may lose inspiration and show a lack of initiative. In this article you can find some useful tips to get your partner back on track.
Romance: gone or never had?
We regularly see this phenomenon crop up in long-term relationships. Partners have somewhat forgotten how to make their loved one feel that they still love each other. With a small gesture the flame can be rekindled and a relationship remains worthwhile. In addition, we see a completely different phenomenon emerging among young people. They are too often concerned with the visual aspect. They think they can only score with an impeccable appearance and/or a fantastic performance in bed. Romance is therefore less and less useful and as a relationship progresses this can be a negative point. Relationships that involve romance are usually more resistant to the test of time.
Communication
In these modern times we are busy with mobile phones, Facebook and Twitter, which means we sometimes forget to pay attention to other things, such as our loved ones. But what if you now used these channels to surprise them? It takes little effort and you can immediately win back someone’s heart. A romantic text message or email can do wonders! Letting them know that you miss them will confirm that you are thinking of them and make them feel important. It can also be done the old-fashioned way. Leave a post-it in their daily use drawer or in their lunch box. It can also always be placed in their wallet, jacket pocket or car seat.
Spontaneous gesture
Yet another idea that requires little effort is shaking hands. A very simple gesture that shows that you are proud of your loved one and are not shy to show this in public. It shows the world that you are one with each other!
A small gift.
Who doesn’t like to receive a little something from their partner every now and then? When thinking about gifts, everyone immediately thinks of big budgets, but a gift does not always have to be expensive. It’s still the gesture that counts. Your loved one will simply appreciate that you thought of them and also took the trouble to find something for them. From a whole bouquet to a single rose, there are plenty of options.
Compliment
Most of us will see compliments as something very normal, yet it is often forgotten. Giving a compliment every now and then gives your partner a sense of security that makes them feel loved. It may sound cliché sometimes, but you can always drop something about their hair, cooking skills, performance in bed, new outfit, household chores, …
Leave a trail
The classic that has been featured in various romantic films for decades. A trail of rose petals that will lead to a beautiful setting where a love game will eventually take place. Nowadays there is also a modern version in the form of a treasure hunt. Tip: combine the rose petals with small gifts. A second way is to organize a treasure hunt through the house and garden with tips from one gift to the next. The last surprise is you!
Weekend trip
A slightly more expensive remedy, for example, is a small city trip. Take your loved one and discover a new city + rediscover each other. Take enough time to pamper each other and give your partner enough attention. Start the day by giving your loved one breakfast in bed. Reminisce about the past so that your partner realizes how many things you share and that you still remember all those valuable moments. Don’t forget the intimacy! Shake hands and hug, take a romantic walk and let nature surprise you. Undoubtedly moments that you will cherish and think back to often. Don’t forget that by going away for a weekend you can leave the daily worries of work and children behind you. This is valuable quality time that every couple needs every now and then.
