7 Smart Tips To Bring Romance Into Your Relationship Again

Romance, relationships, love, passion, commitment. Whenever your partner brings the above topics into the conversation, your heart starts beating faster and your thoughts start racing. “Have I been a bad romance partner?” you might ask yourself. “What is our relationship missing?” “How do we keep going?”

There is no ‘right’ answer to these questions. Yes, something has to improve in order to keep the relationship going – it could be communication, time spent together, or deep conversations. Usually, though, the missing element is romance.

So, how do you bring romance into your relationship again? Today we are going to provide some tips on how to make it work! Start powerful, strong, and connect with your partner again by using the following tips.

1. Have a talk

When you feel like your relationship is destabilizing, it’s time to talk to your partner. Frustrations can accumulate fast and lead to drastic fights if you two do not communicate. Make yourself heard, ask them to just talk. There is no need to hide your feelings and make it seem like “you are alright.” Here are a few tips to get the discussion going:

• Prepare a home-made dinner and light up some candles
• Think about what you’d like to discuss beforehand
• Keep calm and be open-minded to their views
• Hear them well and don’t draw any inaccurate conclusions
• Discuss the things that bother you the most
• Come up with solutions together and make it work again!

2. Go on a special vacation

Warning! Do not skip step one and get straight to step number two. Do not replace communication with a fancy vacation to the Bahamas. So many couples do that nowadays, and most of them end up breaking up shortly after. There is no point in travelling with a person you don’t longer feel comfortable with. Even though you’ve been dating for a while, there are clearly lots of issues to be solved and talked about., so always do that first.

After you’ve communicated with each other, treat yourselves with a special vacation to some tropical/snowy place (depending on your preferences). Enjoy those moments together and reconnect. Talk more if you need to. Have a spa day at your resort. Hold hands. Smile, and just enjoy your time together.

3. Be physical

As much as partners try to avoid this subject, sexuality is very important in any romantic relationship! Do not avoid it only because you feel disconnected. Give your partner another shot. Maybe the reason you are not feeling close to them anymore is that you’re lacking physical attraction. As a woman, you could buy some sexy lingerie and surprise him with some sexy kisses after work! As a man, you could buy her some flowers and a bottle of wine, and give her the physical signs of attractions through gestures and seductive looks.

Tip: Try something new that brings passion into your relationship! You have no idea how much testing new ideas in bed can work towards an improved relationship!

4. Plan a funny date night

Sick and tired of attending work, cooking, showering, and going to bed? If so, plan a fun date night with your partner and make the best out of your time together! You could watch a comedy at your favourite cinema, have a great dinner afterwards, and go home and cuddle. It does not have to be a date night that ends with a crazy sexual experience if you don’t feel like it. Don’t make anything mandatory, go with the flow and be yourself.

Carrie Williams, marketing director at UK BestEssays and professional life-coach, shares her opinion. “Do not try to control your plans too much. Leave space for the unexpected because that is always fun! If, for example, you made a reservation at a fancy restaurant but your partner feels like going on a nice picnic instead, go with it! It’s spontaneous, fun, and original!”

5. Take time for yourself

Having a long relationship requires commitment and a lot of hard work. There are so many times when we find ourselves tired of the person we are sharing a life with. It might be their small, annoying habits that bother us, or we simply feel like spending some time apart from them.

Let me tell you something: that’s completely normal! You don’t have to force anything. No relationship is going to function 24/7. Fights and debates are going to happen whatsoever. There is no point in spending endless time with them in order to reconnect, when in fact, all you need is some time alone. If you feel like spending a few days apart, concentrating on your own self and your own thoughts, do it! If they respect you enough, they’ll understand!

6. Say no to gifts

Gifts don’t solve any problems. They never have, and they never will. Instead of buying your partner a nice scarf or tickets to Sunday’s game, you’d better share your feelings and open up spiritually. Gifts can be appreciated many times, but not when you are in a difficult spot romantically. It can give out the wrong impression. You are not trying to buy off your partner, after all, you are simply trying to develop a better connection.

7. Give them attention

Last but not least, give attention to your partner constantly. You won’t always be able to go on special vacations or funny dates. Simple things matter and they make our lives better, even when we don’t realize it. Compliment her on her sexy outfit, awesome hair, or beautiful smile. Compliment him on his strong looks, amazing beard, or impressive tie. Make sure you always notice your partner. Make time to have short talks in the morning about the day that’s ahead of you both. Congratulate each other on your accomplishments, and always have each other’s back.

Bringing passion and romance back into our relationships is not easy. It takes time and some effort, but in the end, it is totally worth it. Make sure you constantly love your partner, even through their most difficult moments. Make time to communicate, go out together, and take time for yourself whenever you feel like it.
