How to re-heat or add romance to a relationship?
Over time, many couples feel that the closeness and affection in the relationship are no longer as clear as before. This can be due to work, family care, children or repetition in daily activities. However, maintaining romance is completely possible if both are interested in and proactive in changing. Here are practical and easy ways to restore or increase romance in a relationship, according to Marriage.
Regular communication: Discuss sharing your daily feelings, thoughts and wishes, listening to each other without judgment.
Work together happily: Watch movies, go out to eat, play sports or try new activities to create common fun.
Stay positive and humorous: Speak gently, tease moderately and enjoy moments of fun together.
Recount old memories: View photos, recall memorable moments or return to places that are associated with memories.
Increase physical intimacy: hug, hold hands, kiss and spend time on your private property to express your feelings.
Change your habits: Take a picnic together, try new experiences or plan short trips.
Show respect: Don't be harsh, respect each other's space and emotions.
Recognize and appreciate: Thank you, praise and acknowledge what the other person does for you.
Significate a desire to stick together: Clearly maintain the relationship and set common goals for the future.
Note
romance in a relationship does not come from complicated or expensive things, but from sincere concern and specific, consistent actions. If both of you proactively maintain positive habits and create quality time for each other, the relationship will have many opportunities to develop better and more sustainably over time.
