Keeping the Romance Alive!

With so busy time schedules, kids, work pressures, differences in opinion etc etc...can we still keep the romance alive between a husband and wife.
Can they stop a moment and realize how much they really love each other and how far have they traveled with each other side by side.

It's not necessary to go on an expensive holiday trip or buy an expensive gift....all it needs is to just spent some quality time with each other.

But with so much happening around our lives, lets just snatch a moment or just a minute of a day to tell our BETTER HALF that "Yes, you complete me"!

So, common all, pen down your unique/wild/ crazy ideas of spending quality time with your DH in our fast lives!

Cheers and Happy Posting!

Re: Keeping the Romance Alive!

  • Well, if my husband starts pulling out cheesy movie lines, I'll be too busy laughing at him to be romantic.

    We just try not to be diicks to one another on a daily basis and to get out of town alone here and there.  It's working so far.

    It might sound cheesy but after seven years we still feel like we're in the honeymoon phase. Maybe because we don't have kids? We love going out to eat, riding motorcycles, and being involved with various groups (running club, homebrewing club, church, etc.)

    This is the method we are using to keep the romance alive... Also open communication, and not making a big deal over little things.

  • We try to find time everyday to spend together, or at least to have a conversation.  We pick our battles very carefully and don't take our issues out on each other.  We take weekend or just-for-the-day trips together, especially if one or both of us has had a stressful month and needs to get away.  We still go on dates.

  • date nights on the weekends...and little love notes in lunch bags/by the coffeemaker/ect, lots of compliments and acknowledging/appreciating one another.  we are only a year in but i think we both work at showing the other daily how much in love we are and how much we appreciate the other.
  • When he's super busy I try to send him text messages during the day telling him how much I love him and how proud I am of him.  But every Friday we do "steak night." We grill up a nice piece of meat, fresh veggies and a bottle of wine.  It's like being on a date but cheaper!
  • At least once a week, we make a point to give ds his dinner earlier in the evening, and then we eat something else after he's in bed.  It's nice to sit there and have a glass of wine and talk without a 4 year old throwing mac n cheese on the floor.
