Romantic ways that you can show your partner you love them
Romance – seems simple enough right? With the number of poems that have been written, countless books, films and TV shows that cover the subject, you’d think that we would all have a strong grasp on romance and how best to go about it. However, this is not always the case and that’s ok. Being romantic with our partners – no matter how long we’ve been with them – takes a certain level of vulnerability that isn’t always easy.
So, if you’re struggling for ideas to express your love to your partner, you’ve come to the right place. Here are our top tips for how to show your partner you love them!
Start Small
A great place to start is to ask your partner what you do or can do to make them feel loved. If you aren’t familiar with the concept of love languages, it essentially comes down to how we feel love from others and how we express it ourselves. These vary from person to person so this is always a good place to start. Don’t fall into the trap of just assuming you should know this already. As an example, your partner may prefer you doing things for them, like cooking a meal, over getting them a gift.
Tell Them
In the mad rush of our day to day lives, sometimes we forget the little things – like telling our partners we love them. We are by no means saying you need to write them a sonnet, but perhaps a spontaneous text send to them randomly throughout the day could be what brings a smile to their face? Perhaps you could try leaving little notes around the house to surprise them?
Surprise Them
Surprises are a great way to express your love to your partner. It could be in the form of a gift, a date night, or anything else that shows you care. One romantic idea could be to surprise them with a romantic meal cooked at home? You could light some candles, put on some music and create a romantic setting. They are sure to appreciate your effort, and the best part is you get to share the meal together!
Renew your vowels or commitment
If you’ve been with your partner for an extended period, you may have done quite a few romantic gestures already. So, to really show you care, why not suggest renewing your wedding vowels or commitment to each other in a simple ceremony? You could even exchange brand new wedding rings to symbolise this next chapter in your relationship.
Take a Trip Together
Few things say romance quite like a trip together! You don’t have to jet off to a faraway tropical island, even a simple staycation will do the trick. Turn your phones off, get away from the TV, and focus on reconnecting and spending time together.
