Romance is an essential element of a relationship, bringing excitement. However, many people gradually find relationships dull and lose their romantic spark. How can we maintain romance in a relationship, or even make something that wasn't initially romantic become more so?
1. Talk about your day
In any relationship, sharing daily experiences benefits both parties. The person sharing can release pent-up frustrations and thoughts, while the other gains a better understanding of them.
2. Playing together
One of the most important things in a relationship is being able to have fun and do silly things together. Find a sitcom or internet joke you both enjoy and have a good laugh. We've all heard the saying that laughter is the best medicine, right? You can also grab a beer, play a board game, and have a fun-filled, competitive evening together.
3. Cook together
Whether it's cooking a meal or baking chocolate chip cookies, food can bring foodies together. You not only spend time together in the kitchen, but you also create delicious food and enjoy a wonderful meal together.
4. Cuddling
Physical contact is also very important for intimacy between two people. A popcorn, your favorite movie—enjoy a cozy evening together.
5. Send a text message to wish someone a good morning or good night.
To start or end your day, why not send her a text message to show you're thinking of her? It can help strengthen your relationship. You could send a text saying "I love you!", but that's too obvious and doesn't feel natural. We interact with electronic devices every day, so take the time to write her a handwritten letter; she'll feel your thoughtfulness, care, and romance.
6. Encourage each other
Whether your loved one is a student or already working, they need your support for everything they do. Leave them an encouraging note and give them a special surprise.
7. Sweating together
Physical health is very important, but if you're in a relationship, why not spend time together at the gym? Why not work out together? Most people find their partner most attractive when they're sweating it out!
8. Praise the other person
The external environment is full of pressure, and we all want to be our best—our best physical and mental state—to achieve the most successful state. A romantic relationship should be a warm harbor, so why not praise your partner for how charming, adorable, and successful they are? There's always something about them that you love, making them incredibly attractive and sexy. Be sure to praise them often and let them know what you like about them.
9. Travel together
Exploring a new place, basking in the sun, trying a new restaurant—these can all strengthen your bond. If you're driving, you can talk the whole way. This allows you to get to know each other better.
10. Surprise your loved one by bringing coffee or breakfast to bed.
This trick works for guys too. Start your day by serving your partner a hot cup of coffee (they'll be very grateful!). If you want to make them feel special, bring them their favorite breakfast to bed: two fried eggs, chopped strawberries, and a cup of yogurt—it's very effective!
