Love lessons – how to make it last

When you fall in love, everything is ‘magical’. The first six months of any relationship is known as the honeymoon stage. If you can get past the honeymoon stage and still love him, even when he leaves dirty socks next to the bed and forgets to replace the toilet roll holder, things will be fine!
You don’t need to go on romantic dinner dates daily to keep the romance alive in any relationship. Always remember, it’s the small things that matter.
Here are some tips on keeping the love alive in your relationship:
Every day:
• Take time to say “I love you” and mean it
• Cuddle with each other
• Kiss him long and slow, tingles and butterflies in your tummy are guaranteed
• Talk to each other for half-an-hour about anything and everything
• Be affectionate towards each other - don’t underestimate the power of touch
• Laugh together, this can soothe a stressful day
• Make each other a cup of tea or coffee first thing every morning.
• Take turns making each other breakfast or even supper - create romance in your own home
Every week :
• Try a gesture that will make your partner’s heart flutter - anything small that will let them know you are thinking about them. You don’t have to break the budget, just be thoughtful
• Ask how the other is and listen to the answer
• Make love. The passionate ‘stare-into-my-eyes-and-tell-me-you-want-me’ kind
• Get sweaty with him during a tough workout
• Argue. Mildly. Get your feelings out into the open, raise your concerns and your annoyances. Then make up
• Spend an hour or five apart, doing something you love. Make sure you always have some ‘me time’
• Sit in silence together for a while in some place you both love. Don’t say a word, just enjoy the moment
Every month:
• Have a date night. Get ready in separate rooms or places, put in a big effort and enjoy the reaction you’ll give each other
• Watch the sunrise together, or even the sunset
• Dance and party a night away, even if it’s at home!
• Bring up a personal joke from way back
• Clean the house together, this can be quicker and so much fun
• Try a new activity together like bungee jumping or volunteering for charity work
Every year
• Celebrate anniversaries in a big way. When you think about all the relationships that don’t make it, you will realise that another year is a big achievement
• Be creative in your intimate life, try making love in different rooms in your home, the pool and even the garden. Just make sure you keep it all private!
• Write your partner a letter. Keep it a secret, pop it in the mail and watch his face light up when he reads it. Many years of love letters make a pretty romantic love story
• Go on holiday together
• You could even go on holiday without each other. Yes, this sounds crazy, but when you are apart you will miss each other and realise how much you cherish special times together
Once in a lifetime
• Make it through a major relationship obstacle
• Go on an overseas trip. Take time to save up for this and decide to go when you are both financially able to
• Invest in something like property or shares
• Get lost in another country or city, it will be terrifying at first, but you will soon discover the romance in getting lost
• Become parents - if kids are not for you, adopt or buy a pet
• Celebrate your time together. Get married or have a big anniversary party
