Valentines Day can make or break a couple – it can show some couples if their other half is truly committed and it can show others that they are totally flogging a dead horse and it is better to end the relationship now than to try and go the distance and fail miserably.
You have men and women who will go all out for their partner, those who put in minimal effort and those who didn’t even bother at all – or claim they forgot (when how can they, it isn’t like it is so commercially pushed straight after Christmas Day…). Hopefully though, you don’t need Valentines Day to show your partner how much you love them – you make the time to show them every single day.
But how can you keep the love, the passion, the romance alive after a day like Valentines Day? Here are some quick tips that you could potentially take advantage of.
Know What Each Other Means
Yes it would be easier to be straight talking but some people just don’t work like that – and you really have to know them to understand what they mean. Knowing what each other intends and actually means is key to ensuring your relationship lasts the distance.
Write unexpected cute notes and texts
Leave little notes where they least expect to find them. Brighten up their day with words about why you love them.
It doesn’t need to be Valentines Day to give gifts
Gifts aren’t expected but doesn’t it always feel great to receive a gift – especially if we aren’t expecting it? Perhaps your partner has seen a new book they want to read. Why not grab it for them and gift it to them one day when you know they aren’t feeling 100%? They will be so grateful that you were so thoughtful and bought a gift that you knew they wanted.
Surprise Them
I don’t just mean with gifts but with dates, days out, spontaneous cooking for them. Everyone loves a surprise – no matter how many people protest this, we all know its true- and nothing beats doing something spectacular that we weren’t expecting. A hot air balloon ride for two is a lovely surprise as is a meal at the restaurant you had your first date at. These surprises show that you like to make an effort for your partner and that these things mean as much to them as they do to you.
These are just a few ways you can keep the love alive after Valentines Day – do you have any other tips for how you can let Valentines Day help you as a couple – rather than potentially hinder you as it does so many others? I’d love to hear them – lets keep those fires burning long into 2018 and further.
