Romance- Keeping it alive
Every couple has experienced romance. It is that unique spirit of adventure leading us into a deeper place of intimacy. For some it has been simple things like holding hands or sharing a special moment. For others it may be more passionate or ornate. However, for every relationship, it is romance which provides life and energy to face the routine of living.
We have couples come to us who have lost their romantic spark and, unfortunately, their relationship reflects the emptiness of life. A tactic we use to help find a romantic connection is the following:
Each partner, separately, sits with a sheet of paper and creates the following list:
- These are the things you used to do that made me feel loved.
- These are the things you do now that make me feel loved.
- These are the things you have never done that I would like you to do to make me feel loved.
We suggest at least five things in each section. Then exchange your lists and review them. The suggestions can be sexual, intimate, adventurous, etc. If something is listed the partner is not comfortable with, then it is dropped (i.e. running naked through the park, etc.)
Once the list is set, then each partner has the assignment of doing at east two of the suggestions each week. If the other partner realizes something on their list has taken place, they need to express gratitude for their partner’s effort.
Try it for at least a month and see how it works. Let us know your thoughts by sharing in the comment section below or write us at nyccc1@aol.com Sign up as a follower in the box on the right and we will notify you when a new posting takes place.
