10 Tips to Romance Your Wife

When a couple has been married for a long time, often the romance can start to wane.
Those early years when we first get together are filled with all kinds of romantic gestures, but then we usually allow life to get in the way. Kids come along, job pressures mount and finances seem to be at an all time low.

When the romance starts to die, some marriages really suffer. Often one or maybe even both of the partners start to fall out of love… or so they believe. This is one of the reasons why it’s so important to keep a little bit of that all important romance going at all times.

Here are 10 tips for husbands to follow to romance their wives:

1. Help her out when she least expects it. This might include washing the dishes, throwing a load of laundry on, or simply dusting off the bedroom dresser.
2. Always say “I love you” before hanging up the phone.
3. Call her once or twice during the day just to see how her day is going, even if she is at home.
4. If you don’t usually cook dinner, take the reins one night every week so that she can have some much-needed time off.
5. Plan a special and unexpected date night. This includes organizing a babysitter to watch your children.
6. Write some special love notes and hide them around the house in spots where she’ll find them during her day. If she works outside the home, put one in her briefcase or lunch bag.
7. Give her a day to herself by offering to take the kids out for a fun time while she gets to do whatever she wants to.
8. Pick her a bunch of flowers and take them home to her. This often works better than sending purchased flowers because it takes some time and effort on your part.
9. Give her an unexpected massage with no strings attached.
10. Hold her hand out in public and show other types of affection.

As you can easily see, it is the simple things that will make the most difference. There don’t have to be huge romantic overtures being made in order for a person to feel like they have romance in their marriage. You don’t have to send a dozen roses or hire a sky writer to tell someone how much you care. By doing these simple acts on a regular basis, you can start to add more of that exciting romance back into your relationship.
