It is neither diamonds nor flowers that will ensure that a love relationship will always remain warm, affectionate and intimate as in the early days. It's the little things. So read the following advice carefully.
1. Thank your partner for the little things.
If there's something about your partner that makes you happy, whether it's his delicious scrambled eggs or his exquisite taste in decorating the bedroom, tell him. Gratitude is a reminder of your love.
2. Be thoughtful
The good we do always comes back to us. If you take care of your partner, he will repay you well. So remember to treat each other to your favourite dessert, set aside an item or e-mail that your partner might like, or take on some of his or her chores so that you can give your partner a day off from work with no chores or worries.
3. Keep your promises
Breaking one's word can destroy the unity and trust of a loving relationship. It is better to say "I'll think about it" than to make promises that will not be kept.
4. Share your passions
Each month, take turns choosing a cultural or artistic event that you will attend together. The purpose of the exercise is to show your partner what you like so that he or she can be as sensitive to it as you are (or as much as possible). For this to work, you both need to be flexible: the preference can be as different as between a football match and a play. The pleasure lies in discovering the passion of your loved one. And who knows? Chances are you'll have had a lot more fun than you first imagined.
5. Kiss under the full moon
On a beautiful evening, lay a blanket under a starry night and toast together to the beauty and tranquility of your surroundings. You can talk, if you wish, or simply enjoy the silence and the pleasure of being together, side by side under a benevolent moon.
6. Relive your honeymoon
Do something for your partner that you did at the beginning of your marriage or on your first dates. Prepare an exclusive meal. Send her flowers the day after a passionate night. Hide notes in unexpected places or leave sensual messages on her cell phone.
7. Discuss life's big moments.
In the early days of your love, did you talk together for hours about current events or the meaning of life? If all you seem to talk about now is groceries or how much money to put on a new couch, it's time to reintroduce meaningful conversations into your relationship. Try this: One night, while sitting in front of the TV or in the car, make a provocative (but not hurtful) remark about something your partner is very interested in: the government, a sportsman or a woman. Something that will surely provoke a reaction. Your partner will undoubtedly object, which will provoke discussion. All you have to do is feed it!
