Romance [verb] to seek the attention of someone, especially by use of flattery, to seduce, to woo
When life gets busy and time runs short, romance often takes a back seat. We mean to do the sweet little things that we used to do, but we get distracted and forget. Or we remember the days when we had time to plot out elaborate ways to show our love. But work, schedules, family, obligation take over.
It can even leave you yearning for a sappy, commercial Valentine's Day card.
Fixing the romantic drain is actually very easy. And quick. And good for you. [wink, wink.]
Write a little love note (it can even just say "I love you"). Hide it somewhere your partner won't find right away, like a purse, wallet, coat pocket, etc. Then, later in the day, text your partner to look in the hiding spot. Feeling elaborate? Hide movie or concert tickets instead.
Do you have a special place? Where you first met or got engaged? Go there. If you can't actually get there, recreate it. Your favorite vacation was to Mexico? Go get margaritas or take tacos to the beach.
