Keeping Romance Alive

Would these book titles grab your attention:  "Bring Back the Fun in Marriage", "Date Your Mate", or "Romancin' Your Marriage"? They do if you realize that one of the most common challenges  a married couple has is keeping a life-time committed relationship healthy and exciting. Unless you are a brand-new couple, it takes a lot of concentrated effort to keep your love, well - lively. I want to challenge you to do something out of the ordinary to change things… do something that will break the routine of your relationship. Think about what you can do to show your spouse that you love them. Here are just a few ideas to help you get started. These hints may help keep love alive and perhaps bring back the romance. Here’s a few ideas to get you started in reforming your relationship. These aren't difficult - they are all fairly simple to do. But if they aren't the usual behavior in your marriage, just doing one or a few can make some positive changes in your relationship. Here's one: write notes and leave them everywhere that your mate can find them. Leave them in unexpected places like in a suit pocket, a lunchbox, or taped to their cell phone. Volunteer to watch your kids for your wife while she takes a nap. Get your children to write notes of appreciation to their dad or mom.  Leave a loving message on his or her voice mail. Bake your sweetie their favorite dessert or dinner. And how about this one: take an unexpected, surprise trip out of town for a weekend. Now that I’ve got you thinking what can you do to show your spouse that you really do love them? The key to reviving the romance in your marriage is to revive the love... by acting loving.
