Make Quality Time for Each Other

Whether you are dating, engaged, newly married or married for years, you want to make time for your mate. As an event planning firm we do a lot more than weddings. We’ve helped couples plan romantic getaways, romantic dinner parties, proposals, engagement parties, anniversary celebrations, vow renewals and more. If it can be created we have done it. We help couples recreate their honeymoon, their proposal or the first time they met. We know it is important to keep the romance going.

What do I mean when I say make time? I don’t just mean making time to have a meal with your partner. You want to make sure you find ways to keep your relationship fresh. As individuals we are always growing and evolving. We want to take the time to share this evolution with our loved ones and along with the journey. In our society, it is easy to get busy but you don’t want to let too much time pass before you come together.

Most of us know how much work dating may be. Married individuals may be thinking the purpose of getting married was so they wouldn’t have to work so hard anymore. On the contrary, with careers, children, family and various responsibilities, married couples want to work equally hard to keep the romance in your relationship. When you become bored with your partner, it is a clue that you have lost the connection with the part of you that you used to find exciting,” says Dr. Leslie Parrott. Therefore, solidifying a relationship doesn’t mean you should stop getting to know the person you love. The more you know someone, the more you should want to share in their lives. This is an ongoing process.

There was a time that your boyfriend, fiancée or husband called you on the phone and asked you out on a date. A week would not pass without seeing one another and spending quality time together. There may have even been times when you had a big event coming up and you called your boyfriend, fiancée or husband to attend it with you. Do you remember what it felt like to be asked out on a date? How much did you look forward to the day you would share one of your favorite activities with someone you were crazy about. Suddenly, that day at work wasn’t so much so stressful because your thoughts were elsewhere. Just because you are in a committed relationship now doesn’t mean you have to give up the idea of romance like this.

So you should make dates with one another and keep them. It can be lunch, working out together, brunch on Sunday or just making time to have a drink. Maybe you can try something new, or something you’ve both wanted to do. Just plan carefully because you should view these dates as “unbreakable” the same as you would a business obligation.

Don’t treat your relationship or partner as flexible and accommodating. While your career and other responsibilities demand your time, you don’t want to take your relationship for granted. Even if you don’t have a lot of time to spare, find some even if it is only a little. Think back to the beginning of your relationship, you planned around your responsibilities and found the energy to devote to them because they were important to you. Try to keep those early memories in mind because this is something that shouldn’t change.

Don’t forget creating magic moments is our business. The intimacy shouldn’t end, so compliment them when they look good, court them whenever you can, and keep the special moments you share coming!
