Marriage is one of the hardest yet most blissful unions you could ever embark on in life. After being married for several years, and after the children come along, it can be hard to rekindle that old flame. Romance can fizzle and going through the daily routine can become more mundane than enjoyable. So how does one put the romance back into a marriage?
One of the most common complaints among women is that they do not feel special anymore. After a woman has been up all night with the children and cleaned the house, done the dishes and laundry, she hardly feels romantic. The clue for the man is to make the woman feel special. While most schedules are truly chaotic, make at least an hour an evening for each other. After the children go to bed, talk and laugh together. There are many things to talk about like the day, and it may be fun to revisit past history together. Make time for each other is the first and foremost way to put romance back in marriage.
When most marriages begin, there is usually some sort of romance. Revisit ancient history and begin writing love letters and poems again. A lady can slip a love letter into a briefcase or a man can tuck one into her purse. Just when the other person is in the middle of their day finding a love letter can bring a smile to their face. Remember how things were when you were dating. By doing some of the things that the other person loved during that time, it is possible to encourage and strengthen the romance between each other again.
Gifts are always a nice touch to show how much someone means. Try sending flowers to the wife, or the wife can send a singing telegram to the husband. Most people just need something to break up the routine of the daily grind and show how important they are. Every time a wife looks at her flowers she will think of her husband. Sometimes it is just the little things that mean so much.
The best way to bring romance back to a marriage is by having a date night. Hire a sitter, if necessary and slip away to dinner and a movie. Enjoy time together holding hands and snuggling. It is easier to talk and laugh when the children are not present and the stress from life has been put on hold. Visit an old spot where you first fell in love, or start new traditions. By having a special night that is dedicated just to the two of you, each partner will have something to look forward too. Dating is the perfect way to ensure a marriage stays romantic.
