Romance is not just flowers, hearts and violins but rather when we savor an experience, we make it a priority by investing time, energy and by making it memorable and vivid. |
 Make
ordinary into extraordinary--doesn’t have to be a trip to
Hawaii but simple ordinary activities that add romance. Like a back
rub, foot massage, a trip to the store… |
 Be
spontaneous--unplanned enjoyable moments like: positive conversation,
dates, unexpected adventure where one takes the other to a hotel. |
|
|
 Plan
for good times--Couples need to have more fun times to create
a spark in their marriage. Take a 2-night honeymoon: sports, picnic,
play games, go on walks… Must schedule on calendar or won’t
happen. Schedule just like you do anything else in life. |
 Express
kindness and consideration--makes couples more romantic towards
each other. It shows a high regard and respect for each other. Like
helping the other when they are over-stressed. It makes one feel loved,
important and supported. Kindness overshadows shortcomings and irritations.
Creates an atmosphere where romance can blossom |
 Meet
each other’s needs in marriage--men and women have different
needs in marriage. For example, a wife needs to be listened to and
understood while a husband needs to be admired and respected. Ask
each other how you can better meet your partner’s needs and then
act on them. |
 Communicate
daily with each other and with God--open your heart and talk freely
every day. Husbands and wives who keep the lines of communication
open, get along better and enhances more romance. There’s no
hidden feelings or tensions that haven’t been aired between them.
The same is true with God--we love Him more and have a better relationship
with Him when we communicate daily. |
