What can you do to "fit in" romance
into your busy life. It can be done if you follow the eight romantic tips below:
1.Plan
date nights: Actually schedule one night a week that you
will spend with your significant other. Put it on the calendar and don't let
anything (other than life's emergencies) interfere with your date. This is as
important a commitment as your next shift at work
2.Take
a vacation with your significant other: only Family
vacations are great, but it really is okay to leave your children with grandma
and grandpa and spend a long weekend alone with your significant other. You are
not a bad parent. By doing this you are not only revitalizing your relationship
with your significant other but making all other relationships in your life
more successful and happy. A positive side effect is that your kids will miss
you and realize how much you mean to them.
3.Do
something romantic always: It doesn't have to be Valentine’s Day or an anniversary to send
flowers or an "I love you" card. Surprise your significant other at
every opportunity and watch the sparks come back into your relationship. This doesn't
take much time or money, but it does remind him/her that in this busy life, you
are still thinking about him/her.
4.Say
"no": Say no to any new commitments that
will take away from your time with your significant other. If you have plans for the weekend, say
"no" to that extra shift. Yes,
the money would be good, but what does this tell him/her? That work is more
important. Not good for success in the romance department.
5.Remember
that it's the little things that mean a lot. You do
not have to spend a dime to remind your partner how important he/she is to you.
A surprise kiss on the cheek while cooking dinner, or a gentle touch while
you're breezing by with a basket full of dirty laundry, will remind him/her how
important the relationship is to you.
6.Compliment
please: compliment your significant other on
his/her looks. I'm certain you can find something good about him/her in either
the hair, clothing, or make-up arenas. Say it! Again, this reminds your
significant other that you are emotionally connected to him/her and appreciate
him/her.
7.Take
quiet time alone whenever you can: Yes, plan the
date nights and vacations together, but also take the opportunities that arise
to spend quiet time together. When you have an unexpected night alone, do
something romantic instead of watching television or reading a book.
8.Be
partners in everything you do: You do not have to be with your significant
other 24-7, but be on the same sheet of music when it comes to household
responsibilities and raising the family. This partnership will help your
romantic lives grow.
