How to Keep Your Romance Alive and Well By Bj Moorer
If you have managed to weather the storms of life and still remain in a long-term relationship – Congratulations! Well done! Hopefully, you and your partner enjoy good communication, closeness, compatibility and the comfort of each other. You are familiar with each other and may often find one can start a sentence and the other can finish it. You flow well together.
You may be thinking, yes we did make it. Ok snap out of it. You still have work to do! Yes work! You have accomplished much but you have more work to do. Both of you must work to keep your relationship going in the right direction.
Here are five things you can work on beginning now:
1. Consider your love a privilege. Never take your partner for granted.
2. Have interests that are separate from your partner as well as doing things together. It is important that you find many things you enjoy together, and then continue to do them together. But, there should be things of interest you pursue on your own. If you play volleyball with your friends on Thursdays, continue doing that. If the two of you love to eat Seafood on Friday nights, keep that up as well. It is just as important that you have one or two hobbies you do by yourself, just to make sure that your individual needs are being met.
3. Take time to explore new things together. What have you two talked about but never got around to doing? Is it travel? A new sport? If you love to travel and play tennis, start doing just that. You could take day trips to different places to play tennis. Mix both activities together. You may want to take some classes together. Think of cooking or even ballroom dancing (Yes, that is one hot off my personal list).
4. Have conversations like you used to. Do you recall when you listened to everything your partner said? You know, hanging on their every word? If you find yourself having conversations while watching TV or half sentences over dinner, stop! Really listen and tune into your partner. This one change can make all the difference in the world.
5. Work on You. Yes you! Whatever extra things you did when you first fell in love, pick them up and start doing them again. I am not talking about wearing those old disco platform shoes. Keep those if you must only for old times sake. Take inventory and see if there are areas you can improve yourself. If there are, begin to make changes. Small changes will have big payoffs if continued.
The idea here is to broaden your horizons. Think of things you both like to do as well as things you would enjoy solo. Get busy working on keeping your relationship fresh.
