Often, romance takes a backseat. Complacence and sluggishness cast a grey cloud over your love life. When couples decide to tie the knot or make babies, romance becomes a chore, if not a headache. Does this sound familiar?
A relationship without fantasy and fun is a dead horse. However much you flog it, it will remain limp. Before you know it, the two of you would be sitting with a marriage counselor, or a divorce lawyer.
Think of love as a living breathing entity. You need to feed it, care for it, and nurture it. Romance is the best vitamin for an ailing relationship. Add zest to your marriage with a dash of romance.
Flirt with your partner as if she were an illicit romance. Surprise her with tokens of love. It could be an expensive diamond, or a cozy evening at your favorite restaurant.

Here are some romantic quotes that you can coo into your heartthrob's ears. Watch her blush with happiness, as you read her these powerful love quotes.
Your sweetheart expects you to be the knight in shining armor, or a damsel in distress, and you are unable to fit the bill. Your girlfriend wants you to hold her hand under a moonlit sky and stare into her eyes, but you simply can't peel your eyes away from your iPad. Your boyfriend wants you to accompany him to a discotheque, but you'd rather be at a quiet place with him, holding hands.
What does this mean? Are you two incompatible? Has love gone out of the window?
Love is a deep emotion, and trifling problems cannot hamper it. You cannot be compatible on all parameter, or you would have been identical twins! As long as you are compatible on major issues such as honesty, sex, money, future, family, and religion, your relationship will work.
To keep your relationship growing, do not become complacent. Work on your weaknesses and mold yourself to accommodate your partner's preferences. There has to be a healthy balance of give and take, for your relationship to grow.
Set a romantic mood with love quotes for her. Pamper her with roses and shower her with odes of love. Help your boyfriend get romantic with love quotes for him. If he has forgotten how to romance you, you could egg him on.
Some like a big splash, others like a quiet affair, but everybody likes their birthday celebrations. The morning of your birthday seems like the best morning of the year. Even if a cloud threatens to explode in the skies, you wake up feeling perky. You quickly go through your birthday greetings that come in the form of text messages, phone calls, and piled up emails.

When you think about the happiest moments in life, you will find that many of them involve your family. Family love manifests in the smallest deeds: a warm hug, a tender goodbye kiss, or in tears of joy.
Think about your sister who always stood by you even when you were wrong. She may have been annoyingly meddlesome, but she always cared for you. Spare a moment for your domineering dad, who ran the household like a military boot camp. Without his discipline, you would not have been the best soccer player of your team.
What about your mother who nursed you back to health when you are down with common cold? Have you noticed the worried creases on her forehead? She wears them like an accessory since the time you were a baby.
I know that I am going with common stereotypes, but there is often some truth in them.
Your family is your pillar of strength. Despite their oddities, and occasional quirks, your family is the abode of love. Never abandon your family.
Does heartbreak really prepare us for future relationships? What can one do after a breakup? Become infallible or insensitive? Avoid commitment? Turn sarcastic about life, and scorn other lovers?
If you are recuperating from a breakup, use this time to reconstruct your life. Meet old friends, make time for family reunions, or keep a pet.
Breakups are tough; no doubt. But breakups should not erode your faith in relationships. If you have gone through a bad breakup, take it on the chin. Don't be so embittered that you give up looking for a partner. Instead, find the courage to move on. Moving on means coming to terms with failure and seeking new love.
Love will blossom again. Give it a chance. You might do much better, and find a partner who is perfect for you. The fear of heartbreak is not worth losing sleep over. The risk of breakup will always exist, but if you are strong you will rebound. Every gaping hole can be plugged, if you try.
