Does your romantic partner tell you that you aren't romantic enough? Or, have you just noticed that you don't have the romantic moments that you used to? If so, romance doesn't have to be dead in your relationship. You can pick up where you left off before or you can begin to be openly romantic for the first time in your life.

One of the best ideas is to simply write down how you feel. If you aren't good at being openly romantic this is a great way to start. Simply write your partner a letter about how they make you feel, about your relationship, and your love for them. Try not to have this be an electronic letter, instead write it down on a piece of paper or in a card and hand it to your loved one, or even mail it to them to surprise them. This is a simple but heart felt way to express your love and infuse a bit of romance into your life.

Another great idea is to celebrate your anniversaries in a romantic way. A great idea is to start as many days before your anniversary as you have been together. For instance, if you have been together for ten years start 10 days before your anniversary. Send a rose or candy every day for ten days as a build up to your anniversary. This will show your partner that you love them and that you really do want to romance them! They will loved being showered by your love and gifts, too!

Create a "spouse appreciation night" at your home. You can give your partner a coupon that is redeemable for something specific or you can have it be a "your choice", allowing them to choose how they would like to redeem their coupon! You should surprise your spouse every few weeks by presenting them with a coupon or special romantic gift. You'd be surprised how exciting and romantic this can be!

Many people who need to bring a little romance into their life don't have a lot of time. You don't need a lot of time on romance, it is the thought that counts. When you are both home for the night surprise your spouse by lighting some candles, turning down the lights, and simply turning on your favorite song and asking them to dance. This is simple and easy, but will make them swoon! What you do after you dance is totally up to you!

As you can see, romance doesn't have to be difficult or uncomfortable, even if it doesn't come naturally. You will find that when you start out slow you actually enjoy being romantic. The reason is because you will appreciate the result in your relationship and then you will actually be looking for excuses to be romantic!
