How do you get the romance back in your relationship?

You start out always holding hands, being sweet to the other person, sending them notes to read when you are a part and you can't keep away from each other. Then you are together for a few years and suddenly those little things are gone. Heaven forbid you go to a dance and dance every dance like you did when you were dating*L* What can bring back that spark you had when you first started out?

This is hard specially for girls. I experienced it as well. I need those little things to make me feel like someone cares. I do it all the time. I like to hug and send notes. My boyfriend is very introvert, he shows his love, but I have to guess - he didn't go to his friend's Bday, but stayed with me, so he loves me!!! To us little fights work:) Funny, but that's how he always opens up - after fights.

Relationships need lots of communication, especially about this. But, it needs to be talked about and worked at for it to last a lifetime.

It is a natural thing to happen, as people get used to one another. First, you must discuss it with your partner. If you feel it, so does he. Second, you may have to start it. Maybe a special dinner appointment, and go out to that special resturant when your partner gets home. Or, make it, with good china and candles. Also, change the way you look. Dress up before hubby leaves to work, and before he comes home, so you look different. Rearrange furniture. Greet him at the door in nothing but whipped cream. Send a love note in his wallet or lunch bag. I am married 30 years. It takes two to work at it to keep it alive. Sometimes men slack though. It's the nature. I rated you a +++, excellent post. Good luck and thank you sugar.
