It is important that your relationship with your partner blossoms and becomes better with time. But when you and your partner have been together for a long time, especially if you live together, chances are you end up treating each other more as friends or roommates than lovers.
The last thing you want is for the flames of your relationship to die down. Below are five beautiful ways to rekindle the romance in your relationship.
1. A date with your partner is a good idea
When was the last time that you and your partner went on a real date?. Often, when you’re in a long-term relationship, you forget to create time to go out and do things together, especially if you live together. Going grocery shopping together is NOT a date.
Why not plan the perfect date together? It can be a candlelit dinner, a lunch date, just something fun that you both enjoy doing that might bring back the spark of the excitement you felt in the early days of your relationship. Go on a road trip, go camping, a vacation; just have fun.
2. Enjoy a couple’s spa day
Spa days and pampering are often associated with women but men can get just as much enjoyment from it too.
It can be very romantic spending a day relaxing together. A growing number of spas now offer couples massages and other treatments to enjoy together.
Alternatively, you may want to set up a spa in your own home. Have a relaxing bubble bath together and then treat each other to massages. Many stores have massage oils and lotions a range of scents that will leave both of you feeling relaxed.
3. Have a romantic meal at home
Rather than going out for the traditional meal at a restaurant, create a special meal in the comfort of your home.
Choose your favorite dishes and create a perfect meal for both of you. Stock up on some good wine, light some candles and play your favorite music. The result will be more romantic than in any restaurant because it is personalized just for the two of you.

4. Cuddle more
Start and end your day with a few minutes of cuddling and you will strengthen your bond as a couple.
We often neglect cuddling unless it is to leads to s* x . While that can be great fun, it doesn’t always have to lead down that road. Just taking the time to cuddle and reconnect with each other can do wonders for your relationship as well as elevating your mood.
5. Your time is the greatest gift you can give your partner
When you factor in all the commitments you have outside your relationship such as work, household chores, and, perhaps, children, you are left with little or no time for your relationship.
Sit down together and create a “couple calendar” and schedule a time when you are both free. It may not seem terribly romantic to plan everything in advance, but when you make an appointment with each other and then commit yourself to that promise of time, you will realise the value of your relationship.
It can also give you something to look forward to, knowing you have a date with your lover. Just ensure you are not too busy for each other.
Romance is not only about grand gestures. It can be found in the smallest of day-to-day details. Start putting some of these tips into practice not just on special occasions but all year round.
