info_outlineRomance is often associated with grand gestures, candlelit dinners, and passionate declarations of love. But the art of romance in marriage goes beyond these clichés in maintaining a strong and loving bond.
Think about how you define romance, specifically romance in your marriage.
Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co
To define romance in the context of marriage, we can look at it as the intentional nurturing of love, intimacy, and connection between spouses. It involves making each other feel special, appreciated, and cherished on a regular basis.
In marriage, romance is not just about sparks and butterflies; it's about building a deep and enduring emotional connection with your partner.
Also, think about how you see romance now versus how you saw it before you were married. Was it different? What has changed?
Romancing your spouse doesn't have to be extravagant or expensive; it's the thought and effort that counts the most.
It's about building your romance on a daily basis!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Lead with vision!
Small, meaningful gestures done consistently can keep the flame of romance alive in a marriage. Here are three simple yet effective ways to romance your spouse:
1. Surprise Them: Whether it's a spontaneous love note left on the mirror or a surprise breakfast in bed, unexpected gestures can reignite the spark in your relationship. As relationship coach John Gottman puts it, "It's the small, everyday acts of kindness and affection that make a marriage strong."
2. Quality Time: In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to let quality time with your spouse fall by the wayside. Make a conscious effort to spend uninterrupted time together, whether it's watching a movie, taking a walk, or having a heartfelt conversation. As marriage expert Dr. Gary Chapman advises, "Quality time is essential in keeping the love alive."
3. Physical Touch: Physical intimacy is a crucial aspect of romance in marriage. Simple gestures like holding hands, hugging, or snuggling on the couch can communicate love and affection in a powerful way. As renowned author Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
How do you make your spouse feel?
Extra thoughts:
1. Be aware of your environment.
2. Stay committed to your relationship so your passion doesn’t turn somewhere else.
3. Don't pressure your spouse to be everything. Find other ways to feel whole.
4. What you put into your marriage is what you will get out of it.
"Romance is the heart's way of saying 'I see you, I cherish you, and I choose you every day.'" ~ Kristianne Wargo
By prioritizing romance in marriage through thoughtful gestures, quality time, and physical touch, couples can strengthen their bond and create a love that stands the test of time. But you've got to be willing to create your now!
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
