Have your romantic inclinations started to wan? Are you looking for ways to rekindle romantic notions and ideas? There are various ways in which you can renew passion with your loved one.
Cards
Everyone loves to receive a greeting card. There are so many choices available. Take the time to choose one that best expresses your feelings. If you are creative, you can make your own cards.
Letters
Writing a love letter shows your commitment to your loved one. It can be an email or typed and printed on the computer. But in my humble opinion, the best letter is still one written in pen and ink on stationery. You can start by writing your sentiments with a pencil on plain paper and when you feel you have the final draft, copy it with a pen onto the sheet of stationery.
The key to a good love letter is to say what is in your heart. It does not have to be pages and pages. You can convey your thoughts in a few simple sentences and/or a couple of paragraphs.
Letters have a more lasting effect. Many people keep them throughout their lifetime.
Magazines
There was a time when men would not admit to reading women's magazines. Cosmopolitan Magazine and Helen Gurley Brown, after a few years, generated enough interest to make men curious. The quizzes and tidbits about romance spurred the imagination. Today, you can find romantic activity ideas in most magazines and newspapers. You can find recipes for two or how to make the most of a romantic weekend.
Poetry
The Sonnets of William Shakespeare and poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning are ones that most people remember. Other great authors such as Edgar Allan Poe wrote poems to their loved ones. Lines from poems written in a card or on a sheet of beautiful stationery and placed under the pillow of your loved one will bring a smile of pleasure and delight
Reading
Great pieces of fiction generally have at least one romantic involvement. The events of the story may deal with various aspects of life such as death, tragedy, war, and family over a number of years. But there is usually a couple, whether together or apart, stirs the romance in us all.
There are passages from classic love stories that you can read together as a couple. Find your favorite book. Turn off the television and sit quietly together. One can read while the other listens. Or both of you can read silently.
While romance novels are generally considered to be a woman's book, men can learn interesting things about what a woman desires or feels as passion.
Speech
Email has become the most used method of communication. Text messaging on mobile phones is the "in thing." What happened to old-fashioned talking? When we give up human contact, we lose a part of ourselves. One of the most important ways to keep romance alive and keep the fires of passion burning is to communicate verbally with your loved one. Spend some time away from the television in quiet conversation about your day, your dreams, your future, your kids - whatever is on your mind.
Close your conversation with words of love.
Words
No one gets tired of being told they are loved. In a relationship, it is sometimes the smallest action taken that makes the biggest impact. Remember when Mom taught us to say "thank you", "please", and "I'm sorry", and responses such as "you're welcome". These tiny words can make an impact in your daily life.
You can start rekindling the fires of passion using any one of these ideas. Combine several and you will be on fire.
