INTRODUCTION
In our busy modern world, we seem more crunched for time than ever. With email, social networking, a constantly ringing mobile phone and more, it seems like we can actually end up more disconnected with our partner than ever.
We look around at modern couples in particular, who are sitting right next to each other, apparently 'together' but talking or texting on their own individual devices. Are they really spending quality time with one another, or just sitting next to each other?
We recently saw one couple on the train who were a case in point. He was trying to talk to her and she lashed out furiously because he had gently tugged out one of her ear buds to her iPod. "Don't you ever touch my stuff or mess with my music!" she screamed. Sadly, the guy then tried to reason with her. The result was even more of a tongue-lashing.
She might not have 'been that into him', but the truth of the matter is that things are never more important than people are. However, this story does highlight the fact that even though we have more devices and gadgets and means of connecting than ever, the most important way to connect for people who are dating or in a relationship is to actual spend time together face to face, physically holding hands or touching, and talking to one another.
It also means shared activities that both people can enjoy and bond over, and it means not taking love, romance and togetherness for granted, no matter how many years you have been together. After all, even a cactus needs to be watered to make it thrive. How much more nurturing does it take to grow a beautiful bloom of roses?
If you are looking for ways to put the romance back in your life, this guide was designed with you in mind. Best of all, it doesn't need to take a lot of time, just some advanced planning. It doesn't have to take a lot of money either, so we have incorporated a variety of ideas to suit every budget.
+ Why Romance is So Important in a Relationship
Whether you are just starting to date each other and want to move things to another level romantically, or feel the need to re-connect because you have both been so busy lately, you will find a range of ideas to try in this guide. If you have children, you will naturally have even more difficulty with the logistics of having some romantic time alone together, but it is important to make the time.
