Romantic Things to do for your wife

 After a long period of time, the passion in a marriage can begin to fade. Keep the flame alive with these ten ways to romance your wife:

The strength of your marriage depends on the choices you make to improve it. Unfortunately, many couples have lost the spark they shared before they married. Instead, it has been replaced with a humdrum routine. Dating and romancing your spouse can change those patterns, and can be a lot of fun. But it will require some hard work. Planning and energy are imperative for making romantic things happen.

Is it worth the trouble? I’m convinced that the lack of dating and romance in marriage is one of the major causes of broken relationships. Marriages usually don’t collapse overnight. They become bankrupt gradually because they lack daily deposits of love, communication and affirmation.

[Below are a number of ideas that could help you in your romantic expression with each other.] A few of these ideas may be too outrageous for your style. That’s okay. Read the ideas, shake your head in wonder, and mutter, “Some people are really bizarre.” I developed this list with the hope that each couple would add to or subtract from it in order to meet their individual ideas. You may find the outrageous ideas are helpful in stretching your imagination and pushing you toward becoming more creative.
