Keeping That Loving Feeling

I remembered a time when I said that I could never marry a man I didn't love. 
It felt like it was just yesterday when he swore that he loved me madly.
For each of us, love have it's own definition.   
We use the word love to define the feelings of utmost pleasure known to us.

• Treat your most special someone with love and affection, and pay attention to their needs. 
• Please try not to forget the special occasions, however trivial they may seem to you. 
• And every now and then, show just how much you love her by giving her a memorable gift of love, be it a blink-blink thing or a priceless gift like a heartfelt letter of love. 
• To a girl, you mean so much to her, because she shares all the intimate details of her life with you.
• Focus. Make her feel like she’s the center of your universe all the time, especially when she’s with you.
• As humans, respect plays a big part in how we feel about ourselves.
• When we feel disrespected by someone important to us, we feel miserable. And this holds the same effect in relationships too. Don’t dismiss her opinions and ideas without listening to her, and don’t take her lightly just because *she’s a girl*.
• In any kind of relationship, both parties have to learn to listen to each other and respect each other’s point of view.
• By sharing our vulnerability, helpless side, the bond is stronger because we are not afraid of showing our weaknesses to each other.
• Every now and then, compromise your wants for her needs. If she wants to watch a romantic movie while you want to watch something else, give in to her now and then. When she sees how you’re willing to give up something you like just to please her, it’ll only make her feel more loved and happy.
• For a girl, a few hugs and sweet kisses feel just as special as a good round of passionate lovemaking.
• Hold her hand, brush her hair away from her face, make her feel like you’re completely attentive to her needs, and most importantly, don’t hold yourself back from behaving in a silly manner if you can bring a smile on her face.
• Make her laugh!
• Make her feel secure when she feels like she can count and depend on you for anything.
• Misunderstandings arise when there is a lack of communication in a relationship.
• Happy relationships learn to express their feelings clearly. And every now and then, spend a few hours talking about each other’s lives. Be more involve in each other's life.
• When we spend a lot of time talking about our future together, automatically we will feel more secure and loved by the other party. 
• Chivalry is one of those big positive traits in a guy that separates the ordinary men from the gentlemen. Always be chivalrous around your special someone, and learn to treat her like a princess. She’ll definitely love your courteous side and all the pampering that comes with it.
• Let each other know how lucky for having found each other.
• Love should not be predictable, especially when it’s a happy surprise.
• Call her up when she least expects your call and remind her about how much you miss holding her in your hands right at that moment.
• Big birthday surprises and anniversary celebrations are always memorable. But to keep a romance alive, you don’t always need those big gestures all the time. It’s the little things in love that cement a relationship together better than those big gestures. Indulge in sweet romantic gestures every now and then to please her.
• Make promises all the time, but make sure you fulfill them even if it takes years to do so.

For myself, I like to think how it is the smallest of romantic gestures that can bring the widest of smiles and brightens up our days :)
