Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is for romance

Romance can mean many different things, receiving expensive gifts, a bunch of flowers, nights out or a weekend away. Yes, these are lovely to have, however, romance really comes down to the way we treat our partners daily. Have a look at this check list:

Do I look at them with love?

Do I treat them gently, lovingly?

Do I tell them why they are special to me?

Do I attend to their needs?

Do I make time to be present with them?

Do I show them I care about them, that I think about them, even when they are not with me?

If you can implement these into your relationship the happier, the more satisfying and successful your relationship is likely to be.

So, sure, go ahead and celebrate Valentine’s Day but don’t just do it on February 14. Try to make a goal that you will put them into your every day!

Hope Springs can assist couples in bringing romance back into their relationship.
