Put Romance Back into Your Relationship to Save Your
Marriage
Do you feel as though your
marriage is going downhill and headed for a divorce? Do you wish there was something that you
could do in order to save your marriage?
Many couples go through hard times in their marriage even though they
might still be in love. Before you get
to a place that is too hard to get out of, start fixing your relationship now and put romance back into your
marriage.
Plus,
remember to be open and honest with your spouse about your expectations for
affection, sex, and romance in your marriage.
Now is the time to start even if the course of your life is not where
you expect it to be. Telling yourself
that "someday" you will have the time to be romantic will only hurt
your marriage. Sooner or later you will
find out that “someday” never comes and you have wasted the time that you once

Through the years, things do
change between a couple. Most often
romance is the first thing to go. Things
like finances or the needs of the kids can get in the way and out- weigh the
needs of the parents. But the need for
love and affection does not lessen. By
ignoring these needs, the bond between the couple becomes stretched and may
break. Plus, if one person is committed
to keeping the romance alive while the other puts it on the back burner,
resentment can build; and resentment will, without a doubt, crush a marriage.
So what are some ways that you can put a little romance back into your marriage
before it is too late?
When children are involved in a
couple’s relationship, it can be hard to find time just for yourselves. In order to keep the romance in a marriage
alive, make sure to hire a babysitter or allow the kids to spend some quality
time with grandma and grandpa at least once a month or even once every two
months. Sometimes just the chance to
have a dinner out alone is a wonderful relationship refresher. It is also possible to show affection to your
partner on an everyday basis without being intimate or even being home.
Write your partner a love message
where they will find it during the day.
Something as simple as writing “I love you!” on a piece of paper hidden
in their wallet, or drawer will boost the romance between you two and make your
partner feel loved. You can also take a
walk together. Put your responsibilities
like the dishes, the lawn, and bills aside and show your partner that the most
important thing at that time is to spend time with them. A walk is a great way to leave distractions
behind and focus your attention on your partner.
Remember to take your partner’s
needs into consideration. Maybe romance
is not on your to-do list at the moment.
But, it might be at the top of your partner’s list. Be open to the suggestions of your
partner. A relationship will quickly
fall into the gutter when someone cannot make time for their spouse. We all lead busy lives, but it makes a big
difference when you put your schedule aside for your spouse even if it is just
to hold onto a lingering kiss.
