One of the biggest “Love Myths” I hear a lot is that, after awhile, the romance in a relationship begins to fade. When I think of “fading,” I often think of a flashlight that’s had the same pair of batteries in it for a while. It will still give off some light, but eventually, the light fades completely. Well, thank goodness for rechargeable batteries!
Seriously, romance does not have to “fade.” What it needs is to be kept alive. And that happens by simply being intentional about continuing to demonstrate love, respect, gratitude, and tenderness. It’s making time to connect with and listen to one another. It’s about bringing fun and laughter into our conversations, dancing in the kitchen, and doing the things we enjoy doing together. And, of course, it’s about making time for physical, sensual, and sexual connection, as well. In essence, it’s about making sure that we make keeping our “romance batteries” charged a priority.
Might “romance” look different as the years go by, when kids enter the picture, and as our roles and responsibilities change? Maybe… But remember that “different” can also mean better, more exciting, and even more fun!
What will you do to keep your romance batteries charged this week?
