Break the Routine for Valentines Day

You take her to the same places and buy her the same gifts for the past five years.  You stopped having the make out sessions with her and forget to tell her that she means the world to you.  What has brought you to this lowly state?  I bet she has started to fill her time with other activities away from you, which prompted you to spend time away from her doing the make bonding stuff.  On and on the separate lives go as you both have landed in the land of routine and boredom.

Maybe you need to kick start this relationship by planning those activities you enjoyed on your first months of dating.  Take time to rediscover what unique qualities and values your better half possesses as you did when you were just starting to fall in love.  Spend time connecting emotionally and intimately as you begin to bring the focus back to just the 2 of you.  Instead of being depressed over the mounds of snow that recently fell, go out and play in the snow together.  Have some hot beverages and spend time discussing how you plan to spend the next fifty years together.

Valentine’s Day is about love and connection.  You do not have to reinvent the wheel.  You just need to travel back in time when you discovered what made the both of you happy together.  Continue to shower each other with the gifts of the occasion, but also find the time to really connect and find what you both have been up to the past five years.  If you listen close enough, you may be surprised what you discover!
