Here on Active Rain, we talk alot about Real Estate. We share ideas on how to do better, we ask questions and we encourage each other. Sometimes, we talk about things not related to Real Estate. And that's okay too. This post is about How To Romance Your Sweetheart this Valentine's Day. I'll be sharing some recent examples that my husband poured unto me.
Valentine's Day is not just a day of love for my husband and I. It will mark our 8th year wedding anniversary. It feels just like a year ago, but the calendar and the age are really starting to show. My heart still skip a beat once a while whenever I look at him.
In order to properly romance your sweetheart, you must understand what your sweetheart's love language is. In Gary Chapman's Five Love Languages, he distinguished 5 different ways of love expressions. They are Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service and Physical Touch. ALL of us respond to all five love languages but some more than the others.
Although Receiving Gifts is not my love language, my husband came home, the past 3 evenings with sweet surprises. They are not expensive gifts but what I translated them to were his thoughtfulness. I love Sushi, so he came home the 1st day with some sushi. We enjoyed it after dinner when the baby was in bed. Then, the next day, I found a rose on my bathroom vanity and after dinner, we had dessert - a piece of Chocolate cake that we shared together (again after the baby slept). I'm not sure what or if I would be receiving something today, tomorrow or the day after but I am curiously wondering. Now, I cant wait till he gets home. See how clever this man is???
I'm not a loud person and I definitely don't like HUGE and over the top surprises. And that's my personality. My husband knows I like little thoughtful stuff. So, he began our Valentine/ Anniversary celebration with little surprises. I'm blown away with his thoughtfulness. It makes me feel extra special. With the baby being fussy and cranky most of the time, I wonder how I was going to get my sanity back. So, these surprises are definitely little "pays" that I enjoy.
Perhaps your sweetheart likes to cook. Give him/ her an opportunity to make a meal for the both of you. Perhaps your sweetheart likes to walk, go down memory lane with him/ her. Yes, sometimes we may not enjoy the things our sweetheart do. But who says this life is about you? Love is fulfilling each other and living through each others' weaknesses and strengths. God said that Now You Are One.
I'm sharing this with you because I like to share real-life experiences about how you, too can romance your sweetheart.
Guys, do something nice and surprise her. She wants to feel the romance again after a long day at work, day after day. Be different.
Girls, men want to feel wanted. Nothing is more important to them than to know that they have been the provider for the family. Simple sweet yellow sticky note that say, You mean alot to me, or Thank you for working so hard for our family gives him the umph to go on one extra mile.
Marriage is one of life most precious gifts. Without tender care, it can break like a broken glass. It takes careful planning to make it into something good, something worth investing your time in. Just as you plan to win in your business, you must make conscious effort in building your marriage. Things dont become on top of the world by themselves. Have you just suddenly found yourself the Top Producer at your office without effort at all?
We don't just celebrate our love for each other one day in a year. But let this Valentine's Day be the first day for you to romance your lover ALL over again.
PS: I plan to take the whole weekend off including President's Day to celebrate my marriage and my family. You will probably not see me posting a blog this weekend. My husband and my son deserve their undivided attention this time of the year. But I will be back!
