Life is tough, and if you’re not careful, it may dilute your willingness or ability to express and desire romance. That’s why from time to time, it’s good to replenish that sense of inner energy, appreciation and love. Not only can this help you dissolve your stress, but look anew at your partner, your job, or just the world outside with fresh and appreciative eyes.
That said, it’s not always easy to figure out how to invite romance into your life again, particularly if you’ve been taking a break from “the market” since your last break-up, if you’ve just been too busy to plan any great events with your partner, or perhaps you’re still waiting for your first bite at this whole love thing.
Never fear, as sometimes inviting a little more romance into your life is easier than you’d imagine. In this post, we intend to help you find those techniques, and express them with confidence and love:
Romance Pulp Books Are Totally Valid
Sometimes, you need to get cheesy. After all, it’s all well and good to make romance into a super intellectual exercise (and reading some wonderful classic literature and poetry can help you with that), but the heart doesn’t move in predictable patterns. If you’d prefer to read some romantic pulp about a rugged cowboy falling in love with a beautiful bounty hunter, or a vampire falling in love with a mortal, that’s totally valid. Sometimes you just need to get the momentum going, and connecting with accessible characters that work for you can be a wonderful way to invite more romance into your life. From there, you might opt for more classic love stories, or perhaps even write your own.
Watch Romantic Movies With Your Partner
There’s nothing quite as romantic as watching a love-filled movie with your partner. For instance, these best Christmas in July movies have the spirit of love, cooperation and romance at heart, and it’s good to remind yourself of those positive perspectives from time to time, especially if you’ve been watching a lot of more conflict-oriented media lately. When you’re relaxing with your partner under a blanket and perhaps with a glass of wine, you’ll thank us for the suggestion.
Cook A New Meal For Your Family Or Partner
Nothing speaks of romantic love like spending time at the stove cooking a meal with heartwarming herbs and spices. Even better if you make a real effort to cook something beautiful and fresh, be that a gorgeous pasta dish, some seafood, well-spiced, or even roasted meats that are both moorish and delightfully delicious. Romantic cuisines involve Italian, Mediterranean and French cooking. Don’t forget the dessert, as something delectable and sweet always caps off a meal in the best way. There’s nothing that says “I love and appreciate you” like a heartfelt new meal you can both experience, that you spent time learning and maybe practising before the special night.
With this advice, you’re sure to invite a little more romance into your life, in the best possible light.
