My wife has taught me that it pays to be a romantic to your spouse through out your time together. Marriage or just living together. We all spend lots of money and do special things when we are dating, but sometimes those special little things go away after time.
But showing your other half that you care, makes them feel special.
Sure we opened cars doors, or pulled out a chair years ago. When did you do it last for your spouse?
I know one husband that runs his wife's bathwater now and then and lights a candle. How about a foot massage or any massage? How about picking up a inexpensive bouquet for no reason on the way home for work? How about doing a job she always does to give her extra time for herself?
I have written I love you in lipstick or shaving cream all across the bathroom mirror. No she didn't kill me. In fact she left it up for a month. I have cut out hearts and wrote special messages on them. My wife would write I love you on a post it in a lunch she packed. I have taped a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper saying I love you in the Fridge or the microwave before. (Don't do the oven!)
A friend of our quit buying gifts for his wife. We both told him he was crazy. Sure your wife might take the cloths back because we have bad taste. Sure it may not be exactly what she wants. But something is better than nothing. Besides take the time to think about what she really wants. Talk to her and you will learn what she really wants.
A "special" date night out with just your spouse is great too. Doesn't have to be expensive. A picnic in the park. Or even cooking for her. (I could never do the cooking one because my wife would kill me because I didn't buy the right ingredients) Though looking back on it she would have been happy with that too.
So be a romantic. Make your spouse feel special. It will help your relationship. This is what my wife Marianne has taught me.
