Suddenly, you suddenly understand you absolutely must have this special individual in your life. This is the process of falling in love, as you cannot imagine your life without the other person in your world. If the other person feels the same as you do, the possibility for a love to develop between the two of you could emerge.

Love must be cherished and maintained if couples want it to last. Love can die a slow painful death if over time couples start taking each other for granted. Love is a state of mind that must be worked on everyday by each person in the relationship.

Nothing is more fun than receiving a surprise gift from your partner. It doesn't have to be for a special occasion, nor does it have to be expensive. It's a wonderful feeling to know that your significant other was thinking of you and bought a gift especially for you.

Do spur-of-the-moment things, like taking off from work and having a picnic in the park. Use your imagination, and think of things you did together in the past that you loved doing together. It will start new memories that you can share together.

Keep focused on your partner's life as a part of your routine as a couple. People tend to split up because there's no more interest in the partner's life. The relationship will not survive if a couple doesn't work on nurturing their relationship together.

Keep it physical with the two of you because everyone loves to be touched and held. Feeling cherished by your love is one of the most special feelings anyone can ever experience. Do you have any idea what some single people would give just for someone to rub their shoulders? A lot.

Physical affection is meant to share, so be generous with some hugs and kisses before leaving the house. Why would anyone just give this up? Ask some people who lost their love and they will tell you what it's like to learn about love the hard way once it is gone.
