50 Little Ways to Be Romantic Every Day

50 little ways to be romantic

Romance isn’t about big gestures or planned events. It’s an accumulation of the little acts done repetitively over time that creates a true sense of romance and intimacy. In fact, doing small acts of kindness for your partner generates a feeling of gratitude that can benefit both yourself and your partner.

A study of couples found that the emotion of gratitude helps people find and then bond to the people who care about their welfare. So when you are doing small, frequent romantic acts, you are helping both you and your partner stay in a constant state of gratitude for each other. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense.

While large gestures are certainly appreciated, when it comes to the big picture, relationships need a constant amount of attention. Just like a garden won’t grow if you only give it a large watering once a month – a relationship can never flourish to its full potential without day-to-day care and attention.

Luckily, it’s pretty easy to be an everyday romantic. Romance is about making your partner feel loved, so anything that creates that feeling is going to strengthen your bond. It’s just a matter of finding what specifically speaks to your partner.
