One of the major reasons why marriages or long-term relationships don’t work is because couples fall into a typical routine and often ignore the most important element in their relationship- ROMANCE. No matter how exciting a relationship may be initially, the romance soon fizzles out, as couples get busy with their daily chores. Its the time when you see your partner everyday in different roles except that of a lover. There is so much to do that you barely find some time alone with your partner. This is the time to take hold of your love life and see to it that you salvage your relationship from permanent damage.

It’s natural that you may hardly find time for each other especially if you have small kids or a baby. But, don’t let that steal away the time from you that was rightfully meant for you and your partner. If possible, request your parents or a close family friend to watch the kids for a while and use this time for a quiet romantic dinner or a movie together. You may also consider having a baby sitter watch your kids at least once a week so that you can spend that time with your partner. One thing that simply kills the romance in your relationship is the way you start ignoring your appearance. Just because you have found that special someone who loves you for what you are does not mean that you stop paying attention to the way you dress or the way you look.
