*I got this as an email a few years ago.*
I believe in love and romance. I believe it is something that can last forever, if it is carefully cultivated.
Here are some tips for keeping romance alive and for staying in love:
FIND time to date... time to be alone and tell each other of your love. You spent time alone at first...why did you quit? My wife and I get away alone every week. Just to refocus on each other. And to fall in love again.
UNDERSTAND what delights the other and make it happen. "The romance is over," says Marlys Huffman,"when you see a rosebush and start looking for aphids instead of picking a bouquet." Does she like to be surprised by flowers? Does he have a favorite dish or activity? Does she enjoy spontaneous affection? Know what brings pleasure to your partner -- and delight him/her!
NEVER forget why you got together in the first place. When you focus first on his faults you're not thinking about his strengths. When you're busy pointing out her imperfections, you're not enjoying those qualities that attracted you to her initially. Choose to appreciate that which first drew you together and your romance
will grow.
The first letter of these three tips spells the word FUN. Have fun together. Laugh. Go on outings. Plan time to enjoy one another. Remember, "the family that PLAYS together also STAYS together"!
