Has your sizzle lost its fizzle? Keeping romance alive doesn’t have to mean chocolates and roses. These simple ideas will help put a little zip back into your love life.

Simply Kiss

At the end of a long day, before you grab the remote control or head for the dishes, give each other a ten second smooch. Don’t rush it, or just give a quick peck. Take the time to really connect.

Send Your Love

Don’t wait for a business trip. Slip thoughtful sentiments into his briefcase or coat pocket in the morning, and he’ll think of nothing else all day.

Make Romance a Ritual

Whether you bond over music or a morning ritual like a long hug, keep doing it! These tiny traditions are constant reminders of your affection for each other.

Cherish the Little Things

Grand gestures are overrated. Instead, find small ways — such as making his favorite meal or giving him an impromptu back rub — to let him know he’s important to you.

Reminisce About Good Times

Talk about your latest romantic vacation, laugh about how nervous you felt on your first date, and share recollections of life before kids. The memories will help you remember your love for each other.
