We're Back

We had to take a blogging break to take of some things. We haven't been home much  that last few weeks. We are home now and ready to get back into the swing of things again. I want to say a great big thank you to all my readers.

With Valentines Day approaching I am thinking of starting a series on marriage and romance.

A Little Goes a Long Way

Relationships are not always easy. It is normal to hit some bumps in the road or to even have stretches where you and your partner have a hard time connecting. Couples who are lucky enough to seem to get along more often than not have probably discovered a little secret early on in their marriage. That secret is to show love and affection in little ways often- not just when things seem to be going badly or when an apology is in order!

If you are going out of town or simply feel like ‘ships passing in the night’ because of kids, commitments or work, find a small charm or porcelain figure in the shape of a star or a shooting star. Wrap the trinket in a small gift box and fold a note on top of it that says, “Wish you were here” and place it in his or her travel bag , briefcase or purse. When he or she finds it , they'll knows you are missing them and thought enough to share that sentiment, it will stir emotions that may not have been awakened in some time.

In order to change tedious or tired routines or to inspire intimacy, you might be surprised at how little effort is required. Tape a note on the television that says, “Wouldn't you rather turn me on?”  If he or she is enjoying a good book, remove the bookmark and replace it with a note that says, “I bet you’ll never guess where I've hidden your bookmark.”

Remember the small things you used to do when you first got together that would make your heart flutter and put a twinkle in your eye? Do them again! When you go shopping, for a walk or you’re just sitting together watching TV, hold hands, link arms or put your arm around her. Softly whisper into his or her ear and gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes. If he or she wants to know what you are doing, simply say that you are amazed at how much you love them.

These simple, small acts can really go far when it comes to sparking a little romance in your marriage. They can break the monotony of a relationship or help your partner to feel appreciated and loved. You can expect to feel the same in return!
