5 Ways to Keep The Romance Alive

Keeping romance in your relationship is important in order for it to last. Once the romance fades from a relationship there is very little holding the couple together. It will become boring and dull, leaving both parties wanting more.Throw kids in the equation and you might just send the romance six feet under if you neglect it.

To avoid this, get creative with romantic ideas to maintain the flame. However knowing what exactly to do is a problem. There are so many ideas and tips out there you might be lost for what really would be a good romantic idea for your relationship. Well it ultimately depends on you and your partner, but there are some basic ideas that can help you out.

1. Getting away for the weekend is a great way to not only relax and get rid of all the stress of your daily lives, but also to re-light the spark that brought you together in the first place. A lot of couples consider this briefly before deciding against it. The reason they decide against it is because they think it would be too expensive, or they do not have the time. People often make mistakes when it comes to planning this sort of mini-vacation. Your getaway does not have to be grand or expensive, something as simple as staying in a nearby town can be all that is required. The goal here is to have fun and enjoy a change of scenery after all.

2. Relieving stress and spending time together is important, but you may not have the time for a weekend getaway. Getting a couples massage is the perfect alternative. Don't let money be an issue here either. You can stay at home and take turns giving massages. Make it romantic by dimming the lights, adding romantic music and getting a nice massage oil. You might end up with happy endings for both of you. It is relaxing and you can spend that time together enjoying it. 

3. Not all romantic trips have to be something traditionally romantic. Having fun together is important, so instead of going out to eat, go to a concert or experience something new together. Some out of the ordinary dates for us have been to a climbing gym and going into a float tank. Spending time out having fun together is a great way to build up your relationship and strengthen the bond between you. Doing something new together gives you some new conversation about the experience. 

4. Romantic dinners are often at the forefront of romantic ideas, but what a lot of couples forget is that you do not actually have to go out to dinner. A nice quiet night at home together can be even more romantic. If you go all out, gourmet meal, candles, fancy china, you can really lay on the romance. You can even make it a surprise for added effect. Or get in the kitchen together you might cook up a wonderful time. 

5. Being together is important, but sometimes life pulls you apart, for some gifts are the language of love. It doesn't need to be expensive or extravagant. The gift just needs to let the other know that you have been thinking of them. 

Keeping the spark in your relationship fully lit can be hard, but also important.
