6 Tips To Help You Rekindle The Flame and Make Magical Moments Together

There comes a time in every serious relationship where you get comfortable with your partner. You let your guard down, stop trying to be perfect all the time, and reveal your true self. While being in a comfortable relationship is a relationship goal in itself, it’s important to remember to take time to keep the romance alive.

Romantic gestures don’t always have to be grand, sweeping, and rival the plot of a romantic comedy. Sometimes, the smaller everyday gestures can be the most thoughtful. If you’re not sure how to be romantic without being cheesy, here are some tips to help you rekindle the flame and make magical moments together.

# Take them on a date

No, not a date night on the couch with pizza and Netflix. We’re talking about a proper date. Every once and a while, it’s important to actually get out of the house together. You don’t have to get gussied up and dine at a five-star restaurant, but it is nice to go somewhere and spend quality time together.

# Pay them a compliment

More than anything, people in a relationship want to feel like their partner is listening to them. One of best ways to prove that you’re paying attention, is by complimenting someone. Tell them that they look nice, that you love their sense of humor, or that they whipped up a delicious baked ziti for dinner. Compliments are an easy but incredibly rewarding way to be romantic.

# Sing their praises to others, too

Sometimes, a compliment means even more when it’s paid indirectly. If your significant other got a big promotion, said something funny, or did something particularly thoughtful, don’t be afraid to brag about them the next time you’re out with friends. It shows that you’re proud of them—and proud to be with them, too.

# Write a love note

This treads dangerously into cheesy territory, but when done well, a love note is anything but cheesy. Write down why you love your partner and leave the note in their pocket, in purse, or on their pillow. They’re guaranteed to keep it somewhere special and look back at it often.

# Give them a massage

The next time you’re watching TV or relaxing in bed, offer to give you partner a massage. It’s an unexpected but welcome offer that nobody can turn down.

# Get them a “just because” gift

It doesn’t have to be expensive; it’s the thought that counts. A new journal, a bag of their favorite fresh coffee beans, or a succulent are great ideas. If they ask what the occasion is, tell them that it’s just because you love them.
