Grab a cup of something yummy, get cozy, and get ready to be inspired to spread the love in easy, everyday ways!
1. Leave Love Notes in Unexpected Places
Who said love letters were old-fashioned? Not me! Imagine finding a sweet “thinking of you” note in your lunch bag or a cheeky sticky note on the bathroom mirror. It’s like a secret handshake only the two of you know about.
Jot down a sweet message on a sticky note and hide it somewhere your partner will find it—like their wallet, the bathroom mirror, or inside their laptop. It screams, “I’m yours!” in the most adorable way possible.
2. Dress Up for Them a Little
Why wait for a special occasion? Deck out in that outfit they love on you, and watch their jaws drop! It’s not vanity; it’s love. Of course, you can be in your sweats all day, but it kinda gets monotonous and boring, isn’t it?
If you can doll up for them once in a while, out of the blue, it will just be a powerful reminder that you still want to impress each other and put in effort, even on a Tuesday! And who doesn’t want to give your boo a reason to keep all eyes at home only and keep the visual sparks alive? 😉
3. Find a Way to Serve Your Spouse Every Day
Doing something as simple as brewing their favorite coffee in the morning, making them breakfast, giving them a shoulder massage or taking care of a chore they despise can be wildly romantic.
It says, “I’ve got your back,” louder than words ever could and almost guarantees that your bae appreciates you more and more everyday.
4. Give Them a Day Off
If your partner usually deals with certain chores, take over their to-do list for a day. It’s a Saturday where they don’t have to lift a finger unless it’s to grab that wine glass you’ve filled. Trust me, it’s the VIP treatment they won’t forget and one of the simplest way to be romantic, right?
5. Spice Up the Fun in the Bedroom
Intimacy is a huge part of keeping the romance alive. Experiment, communicate your desires, and keep an open mind. It’s about enjoying each other and keeping the flames of desire burning bright.
Make use of sexy lingerie, sex games, and tools (like roll the dice or naked twister). Go out on a sexy date night. Ask your babe what their truest, deepest, sexy desires are, and don’t be afraid if they are not yours. I’m sure you both can find a middle ground and still have a hella hot time!
6. Speak Their Love Language Often
You do know that everybody has a different love language, right? And understanding and speaking your partner’s love language creates an unparalleled bond that is SUPER hard to replicate.
Words of affirmation? Shower them with compliments. Acts of service? Maybe it’s time to tackle that chore they’ve been dreading. Receiving gifts? Surprise them with their favorite snack.
Quality time? Set aside an evening just for the two of you. Physical touch? Cuddles, lots of cuddles. It’s all about showing love in the way they appreciate the most.
Not only will it make them fall in love with you all over again, but they’ll also never forget how deeply you love them and are here for them.
7. Compliment Them Genuinely
“I love how your mind works” can be just as fluttery in the stomach as “You look stunning!”. Make it a habit to voice what you adore about them, not just in looks but their qualities and actions too. Keep the compliments flowing; make them blush, make them beam, and make them feel seen.
8. Send Flirty Texts or Suggestive Photos
Who said flirting should stop once you’re committed? A little midday “I want you” message or a playful photo can melt the day’s stress away in anticipation of seeing each other.
Research indicates that flirting often diminishes once a relationship becomes official. And one thing you’ve fallen for while you were dating, a.k.a the honeymoon phase. So randomly throwing flirty texts or sexy photos at each other brings back all those cute emotions.
9. Never Bash Your Partner in Front of Your Friends or Family
Loyalty is sexy! Defending them or keeping conflicts private shows immense respect and care. It’s you and your partner against the problem, not each other.
It’s pretty common among couples to bash each other or talk a lil negatively about their spouse when in a close-knit group, but trust me, no matter how trusting or comfortable you are with your people, make it a habit to never bash your boo in a gathering. This one’s about respect.
Instead, find ways to ‘brag’ about them and see how those little words reward you in bed that night or later in life. 😉
10. Find Hobbies That You Both Can Enjoy Together
Whether it’s cooking classes, biking, pottery, hiking, or video gaming, shared hobbies create shared memories. Plus, it’s a blast learning new things about each other through these activities. And you’ll never get stuck into “we don’t have anything common, so we don’t hang out much together” rut.
11. Make a Fun/Naughty Bucket List
Set aside an evening to jot down all the wild, fun, or simply outlandish activities you both have been itching to try. Randomly pick one to accomplish each month.
Skydiving? A salsa class? A kinky fantasy? Put it on the list! It’s a promise of exciting times ahead.
12. Go on Date Nights
Never underestimate the power of dressing up and dining out (or in)! It’s a space to connect, laugh, and focus solely on each other, reminding you both of the dynamite duo you are.
And no, randomly going out to eat is not a date night. The rule is to make a reservation, dress up and then hang out.
Also, try to keep one day a week for these special date nights with your boo for two reasons. One, you’ll look forward to spending time with each other all week. Second, you’ll not overlook yourself with work if you already know beforehand!
13. Unplug to Connect
In a world where our eyes are constantly glued to screens, taking a moment to truly disconnect can be incredibly romantic. Plan a tech-free evening where the only thing you’re scrolling through is conversation topics.
Play board games, cook together, or simply chat over a glass of wine. It’s amazing how much closer you can feel when the distractions are put away.
14. DIY Gifts that Scream ‘You’re Special’
Nothing yells “I adore you” louder than a DIY gift. And no, you don’t need to be the next Picasso or Martha Stewart. Think simple, like a playlist of songs that make you think of them, or bake their favorite cookies.
The effort and thought put into a handmade gift can sometimes outweigh even the priciest store-bought gems.
15. Master the Art of Surprise Dates
Who said dates need to be planned weeks in advance? I know, I know, totally clashes with my earlier idea of keeping one day a week planned. And that is absolutely right.
But sometimes, you have to throw in a little surprise factor to not let things get monotonous. And that’s where this comes in!
Surprise your significant other with an impromptu picnic in the living room (yes, indoor picnics are a thing and they’re amazing) or a stargazing adventure right in your backyard. There’s no need for a fancy telescope, just a blanket and some snacks, and you’re all set for a night under the stars. Pure romance without leaving your postcode!
There are soooo many spontaneous things you can do with your boo that this is literally one of the easiest ways to be romantic!
Wrapping up – simple ways to be romantic
Engaging in these simple yet profound acts can transform ordinary days into a canvas painted with love, laughter, and deep connection. Remember, romance isn’t about grandeur; it’s about making your partner feel cherished, one little gesture at a time. Now go on, rekindle that flame and keep it burning bright!
