How to Improve Your Romantic Life

A relationship is about more than just what happens in the bedroom. It is more than just an intimacy and a

friendship. A good relationship is one that has a little spark of something extra, a commonality that comes

from true respect, understanding and love. Here are five things to think about when you think that your

romantic life with your partner could use a little work.

Make an Effort

Firstly, in order to enjoy a good romantic life with your partner, in and out of the bedroom, you will have

to work on the foundations. A romantic relationship with a good, solid base of understanding, empathy,

respect, friendship and love is one that will last. But making an effort does not end once the relationship is

firmly established. It is important that you continue to make an effort throughout your relationship, in all

sorts of ways. You need to make an effort with physical and mental things and show you respect yourself

by maintaining your appearance and health and encouraging and helping your partner to do the same.

Communicate

Another thing that needs some effort is communication. It can be easy to lapse into patterns of behaviour

when it comes to how we communicate with our partner. Try to think about how you communicate, not

just verbally but in all sorts of different ways. Work on really saying what you mean and meaning what

you say. Communicate with your mouth, your eyes, your body and your heart.

Share Opinions

Sharing a life with your partner and perfecting your communication is not just about discussing mundane

details and the minutiae of the practicalities of daily life, it is also about creating common bonds,

engaging with the wider world together in a way that emphasises your togetherness on the big things that

really matter. Your romantic life can be improved by sharing your opinions with each other and

thoroughly understanding the way your partner thinks.

Work Towards Goals Together

Sometimes, it can feel as though you and your partner are being pulled in different directions by all the

varied demands and responsibilities of everyday life. To make sure that your romantic life is in tip top

condition, it is important to do things together. You should have shared goals that you can work on

together, so you are pulling in the same direction and feel a closer bond that comes from shared

endeavour.

Learn New Skills Together

Learning to do something together can also give you a shared sense of purpose that can make you feel

closer. Perhaps you could try cooking together, or learning how to do some simple DIY, perhaps

something more recreational like dancing or camping. Choose something that you both really want to do

and something that will fit in well with your life and you will soon find that spontaneous moments of

romance await around every corner. MissBella
