Rekindle Romance For Your Partner This National Lover's Day
A lot of relationships lose their spark as time passes. Although some of them bounce back, others struggle to make it as interesting and exciting as they once were.
It’s difficult to rekindle romance. No matter how hard it is to bring things back the way they used to be, it just doesn’t feel the same anymore. It’s as though the relationship has already run its course.
If you feel that your partner is distancing themselves from you, then your relationship may indeed be in jeopardy.
Can you fall back in love with your partner?
Yes, you can. But you have to be committed and motivated enough to put effort into doing it.
National Lover’s Day is the perfect time to learn how to rekindle romance in a long-term relationship. It’s a day dedicated to love and will bring back the romance in your relationship.
It is a minor observance day that is celebrated every April 23rd.
The celebration is said to have originated from St. George’s Day, another observance day dedicated to honoring love and literature. Other sources state that this marks the day of when writers William Shakespeare and Josep Pla died.
Regardless of how this celebration came to be, it is a good opportunity for couples to remind themselves of the reasons they love each other.
If you are currently facing a lover’s rut, then we’ve got the perfect solution for you to refresh your relationship:
Give Yourselves Some Breaks
If you feel like you’ve had too much of each other, give yourself a timeout.
Breaks don’t mean break up. They simply mean time spent away from each other in short, manageable doses.
They’re a measure you take when you feel like you’re losing yourself in the relationship and want to connect with yourself again.
Oftentimes, overexposure can cause you and your partner to grow sick of each other. Give each other a little bit of breathing space. The next thing you know, you’re back to your normal, usual selves again.
Of course, make sure to talk it out in a calm and sensitive manner.
Start Dating Each Other Again
If you’re looking for ways on how to rekindle romance in your love life, then start dating each other again.
Bring each other food, give them flowers or gifts, take them out somewhere you want to impress them — all the work that you usually do when you’re in the dating phase.
To make it more exciting , you can pretend that you know nothing about each other. IT can be pretty funny, especially when you already know your partner at the back of your hand.
However, it can be eye opening as well. You get to catch up on the things your partner may have forgotten to share with you, or discover the hobbies that they’re currently into.
Flirt With Each Other
Sometimes, you just need to be a bit more playful to make your relationship feel new again. Even though you’re familiar with each other’s love gestures already, it can help if you try to tone it down and play it subtle.
You can start with the coy smiles. Then you can get a bit more adventurous with your flirting such as lip bites, sly winks, and soft touches.
Put in the effort to find it and you remind yourself of how fun it was to flirt with each other. It may feel familiar, but if you pretend that you are dating again it feels a bit more exhilarating.
You’re going to have to know how to bring excitement back into a relationship if you want to get anywhere, so do something exciting!
Bring Back Your Inside Jokes and Bits
Do you have any inside jokes or bits that got quite old as time passed by? Bringing them back can be a huge help in making your relationship more fun again.
This can make you and your partner feel young again, as though you’re still in your 20s. If you don’t have any you can think of, you can try to make new ones instead.
Make lighthearted and teasing jokes about your faulty washing machine or how Starbucks gets your name wrong. It won’t be long before the joke sticks and it becomes a running gag.
Recreate Some of Your Funniest Memories
Let loose and let the good times roll.
Think of all the times you’ve had some hilarious blunders and try to recreate them. If your partner laughed at your clumsiness back then, then they’ll surely laugh at it again.
Bringing back memories like these can make them feel nostalgic. And when they do, it’s a good opportunity for you to sit down and talk about where your relationship is headed towards.
Just be careful in how you execute it. You wouldn’t want your joke to fall flat. Use this tactic sparingly and be careful not to run the joke to the ground.
Start New Relationship Habits
Rekindle your love with unique commemorative days such as Taco Tuesdays, Game Night Fridays, Lazy Sundays.
It will take a lot of practice to get used to it. You have to be consistent if you want to make these into traditions.
And if you have any traditions that died out, you can attempt to revive them. Just make sure that these activities aren’t too time-consuming or energy-draining. Otherwise, it will be difficult to keep up.
Take a Trip Down Memory Lane
Do you have any mementos or photos stored in your closet or storage? If you do, then pull them out.
It helps to look at things that hold sentimental value to you both. It can be something that you got on your first date, or when you celebrated your anniversary.
It’s a good way to refresh your memories. All these milestones that you’ve achieved — they’re something that you should remember for life.
Good times are easily forgotten. It’s only when you feel down that you start remembering how great your life was.
Think of it like a lost gold coin.
It’s no different from the rest that you already have, so you wouldn’t really mind losing it. But when the amount of gold coins you possess starts to decrease, you start to regret losing it.
But when you find it again, you feel overjoyed. You feel like it’s the most precious treasure that the world has to offer.
This is what it will feel like when you rediscover the thrills of your relationship.
Do whatever you must to bring your relationships back to life this National Lover’s Day. It could be your next couple tradition.
