Romance Through Words

 A marriage without love is worst than riding a horse with a broken leg. And romance is the spark that will keep the fire of your relationship aglow.

But how romantic are you? Do you have or spare time for romance? And how do you really begin?

Well, when it comes to the most important relationship in your life, don’t be normal. Do the unusual. Be creative and adventurous.

Unfortunately, in many relationships, “normal” represents a life of mediocrity and going through the motions. It is simply too easy to succumb to the busyness of life and lose sight of how precious our spouse or better half really is to us.

And it is even easier for our partner to feel disconnected and a bit underappreciated. We know how we feel, and (if asked), we are quick to tell others that our spouse is a clear number one on our priority list...  But does your partner really know how you feel?

Well, tell them! It may sound ordinary. It may seem too simplistic. But clear communication is THE KEY to a healthy and extraordinary relationship.

§    When you think a kind thought about your spouse, let them know how you feel.

§    Take the time to listen to them about their day, and respond with some exuberance or empathy.

§    Show them you care by telling them you care.

These are the little things that make us all feel appreciated and affirmed in the face of a rush and rush life.

Write How You Feel:

Talking is good, but writing is great. To leave a really meaningful and lasting impact on your partner’s heart, take a few minutes to write them a romantic love letter. This doesn’t have to be some classy Prof. Wole Soyinka write-up. Yes, though it could be; but writing shouldn’t be difficult. And you are not facing WAEC – it’s your better half! Anything goes!

Make it simple.

All it takes is a few minutes to create a sweet little letter that expresses the feelings you usually don’t take the time to consider or (especially) to deliver.

With just a small effort, you have the ability to rock your relationship and make your sweet heart feel as special as they truly should feel.

Yes, it is time. Take the motivation you feel right now, and start to jot down your thoughts. Follow through with a heartfelt romantic letter, and deliver in an awesome way.  You and your spouse will be so glad that you did.
