Friday Night Date: Rescue the romance
By Katie on 20 November 2009 | 6 Comments
The beginning of a
relationship keeps both people on their toes. You’re constantly learning new things about each other, and every evening spent together is a big deal that often requires prior planning (and definitely some anticipation). But once that stage has passed and you’ve fallen into a comfortable routine, what do you to keep things fresh and interesting? We’re going to give you some suggestions on spicing things up with someone you’ve been dating for a long time.
1. Have a designated weekly date night. This works for some couples can who commit to putting aside an evening for quality time together and make an effort to incorporate new activities and outings into this time.
2. Spontaneous dates. Commit to planning a surprise date for your significant other, say, once a month. Switch off by months. Think of a fun, out of the ordinary activity for the evening and don’t drop any hints. When the day of the date rolls around, tell your guy or girl how to dress for the evening (for instance, recommend old clothes if the plan is to go paintballing, or a dressy ensemble for a gallery opening). The element of surprise is the most essential thing when it comes to keeping things interesting.
3. Break routine as much as possible. Keep the romance alive. It falls by the wayside in relationships all too often, and couples lose the spark that brought them together. Hide a gift somewhere unexpected in the house. Put on some slinky lingerie. Experiment with whipped cream next time you’re getting it on! Whatever it takes, do your best not to let things get stale!
What are your tips for keeping things exciting between you and your significant other?

Cover yourself with butter, or better, lowfat margarine, and hide in the refrigerator overnight. When he gets up and goes to make breakfast, what a surprise he will have! Er…nevermind.

A romantic relationship is the hardest relationship to have and it takes work. Once the honeymoon stage has passed and even when you are married to oneanother you may look at your partner and wonder how you ended up with them…to bring it alive again you have to bend and have compromise…do things new together and do this because it will be a short time compared to starting over again with someone new…and well worth the endurance to get past the downs in a relationship…it builds deep roots and you will be happy with that person again I assure you. Unless of course it is far beyond the means of relinquishing the romance…if you stray it will be harder to keep together so think twice before you make that move. Trust and communication is key.
