Relationship Advice If You Think Romance Is Dead…

We’ve been seeing a lot in the media these days suggesting that when it comes to relationships…

“Romance is dead…”

While this isn’t true for everyone or for every couple…

The truth is that for MANY women and couples, this is absolutely true.

Women especially tell us that they want more love, more connection and more romance these days from their partners–and they’re angry.

Women are telling us that they want the men in their life to once again make them feel like the most special woman in the world… but they think their men just aren’t stepping up.

Guys are expected to know what romance is and then do it, right?

Well it’s nice if it works that way but usually it doesn’t.

When a woman doesn’t think her guy is romantic enough—she pulls away, she silently (or not so silently) punishes him, complains about all kinds of things.

When that happens, a man pulls away, gets even more absorbed in work or sports—and they move even further apart.

Reality of where most couples are…

When couples get together, there’s usually connection and romance between the two people. Then inevitably the honeymoon period ends and the spark dies.

After that, people may find that their relationship has turned into one of these kinds of relationships—cordial roommates; fight all the time; lead separate lives; bored; live for the kids; focused more on work than each other; no surprises; no touching; no sex.

What happens?

Most people stop doing those things that keep the spark alive. They hold their partner to higher standard, they get lazy, they take partner for granted, they stop looking at one another, they focus anything other than their relationship.

So if you’re a woman and can relate to what we’re saying, what can I do to get him to be more romantic?

Here are 3 ways to experiment with in your relationship…
