Here’s How To Be Romantic All Year, Not Just On Valentine’s Day

Step up the type of romance that is most important to your spouse!

So guys, as a result, you probably need to step up your romantic game with efforts that say “love” to your wife, whether that means suggesting a regular date night out, or simply giving of your time. And here’s the encouragement: it doesn’t have to mean regularly arranging a big production. After all, she probably thinks its romantic when you simply put your arm around her in church! So don’t wait for the one day of the year that’s targeted to romance—build romantic gestures and words into the other 364 days of the year.

And ladies, you probably need to step up your romantic game in the words, tone and actions that say “love” to your husband, which most likely includes being sure to verbally affirm him in areas where he doubts himself (“I’m so proud of you for how you handled our daughter’s attitude this morning.” “Thanks for making my coffee. I feel so loved.”) That daily affirmation, respect and trust is his version of romance! (As is, as you might suspect, affirmation in the bedroom.) So be generous with him and build those actions and words into the other 364 days of the year.
