Romantic Ideas...
Welcome to my blog! I hope you're taking notes or book marking many of the sites so you can revisit them later. There are so many ideas out there to take note of. They'll keep you busy for a long time along with all the new books and authors we hope you're book marking, too! I'm no different in wanting to give you some ideas on keeping that flame alive between you and your partner. Love is what makes things happen but we know it takes more than just love to keep the heat level going! I'll go through a list but I know that list can be added to so mark us all and come back later. Here goes...
1. Mutual trust begins with a strong self-esteem and knowing who YOU are. If you're comfortable in your relationship, you'll not have mistrust seeping in to destroy what you two share.
2. Give each other space to spread the wings and be yourself. Feeling trapped in a relationship will only feed resentment.
3. Compliment each other even if it's to say I'm glad you're with me today.
4. Give each other a sexy wink several times a day!
5. Hugs are NOT over-rated! Give them out!
6. Post sticky notes on the bathroom mirror, inside cupboard doors, etc.
7. Holding hands while you're watching TV or walking outside confirms what's in your heart.
8. Old but true...never go to sleep mad at each other.
9. Be a good listener...ask how their day was.
10. Make eye contact when you say 'I love you'.

Can I add an #11? Remember and celebrate the "little things".. especially when you feel unwanted. Remembering that he brought your favourite snack, or you found an old recipe from his mum that you then made (with hours on the telephone to get it right).. then you see that it's just a rough patch. And this too will pass.
ReplyDeletethanks for participating. It's the PATH to the HEA or HFN that always makes the story.

Great advice. I focus on respect and being a good friend. I've made mistakes along the road of 43 years of marriage but, thankfully, my hubby and I have grown wiser because of the hiccups.

Thanks for participating! Really like the hop so far!! I love reading, especially romance. I love reading contemporary, historical and erotic romance. I love the happy ending that is garenteed at the end. My favorite book is Lover Mine by JR Ward! I love John Matthew and Xhex. My favorite romantic moment was when my fiancé asked me to marry him! We meant two years ago right around when summer was ending when my friend and I went out for our last big night out before classes started again. I think it is romantic when he brings me flowers because no one else has ever done it! Thanks so much! Hope everyone else is having a great long weekend!!

For me, romance is all about the trust and respect built between the characters. Since I write BDSM, these elements are very important.
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in the blog hop!

My favorite thing about romance is when two people gradually fall in love and have their happily ever after. The journey is what makes the happily ever after even more special. :) Thank you for the giveaway!
