Passion, sleepless nights, surprises, adoring each other... people which are in long-term relations forget about all this... very often, unfortumantely. I have receipe how to keep romance in relations and I want to share my thoughts with you.
1. To go on dates
Do not just eat outside the house, incidentally discussing all the same pressing everyday problems. Carefully choose a place, and, preferably, where you have not been. Dress up - not for business partners and superiors, but for each other. In other words, to be together - not in a hurry and on the run, but voluntarily and thoroughly.

2. To give gifts without an occasion
Practice shows: on gifts on the occasion of holidays usually those who are for whom the red calendar day is the only chance to get a present are fixed. Girls who from time to time receive a gift for something nice "just like that" - not necessarily "Tiffany", and even if the box with her beloved meringues - are unlikely to find fault if on a conditional Valentine's Day you do not come up with something stunning.
Spontaneous gifts broadcast a very valuable thought for the partner: "I remember and think about you not only when you are near or as circumstances require, but always."

3. Watching yourself
Joint living is usually fraught with the fact that over time people begin to walk around the house, devil-what, do not close the door to the toilet, shave your legs / get rid of the vegetation in your nose, not secretly, but show off ... Do not do it! :)

4. Do not touch each other's nerves for nothing
I even have a special theory on this score - called the theory of tears. And if in brief, the essence of it is that for each person we have measured the number of tears. And the more often you will ruffle your partner's nerves, the faster they will be spent all the time, and, accordingly, the indifference, alienation and general numbness of feelings will inevitably come.

5. Admire each other
Those who have only found each other, compliment turnover, the endless process of mutual strokes and positive reinforcements is natural and, as it were, by itself. Why do people eventually begin to perceive each other's dignity as a matter of course? Where does the magic ability to notice and celebrate the best in a partner go with the years? No idea. But it goes away clearly in the same direction as mutual love. And if you live together for 5 years, and all these years the girl is perfectly preparing, then like as it is not necessary to praise her with lasagna. What's the point of this? And the meaning is. As soon as a person begins to receive from the outside more positive emotions than inside the family, thoughts inevitably come, why does he need such a family?

6. Remember that the main thing is "WE"
More precisely, you. Both, two. And no matter how many children you produce, do not focus your life only and exclusively on them and their needs, which - experienced parents will confirm - are endless, like the universe. And no matter what career ambitions you feel, you can not declare that work is more important, let's say, celebrating the anniversary. To redistribute resources - yes, of course, as without this. But do not sacrifice! Always, under any scenario, YOUR common interests and YOUR time should remain.

What do you think about ingrediends of receipe for amazing relaions full of tenderness, respect and passion to each other?:) Maybe do you have own thoughts how to make long-term relations better?
