romance_tearsWhat’s a busy woman to do – how does she keep the romance alive? And is it all up to her? Questions, questions and more questions.

Keeping the romance or passion alive for someone, or for anything you need to continue to do on a regular basis, whether it’s a job, a friendship or a relationship takes some work. And lord knows there are enough books written to line the shelves of a university library with advice from people who would like to think of themselves as experts. But when all is surveyed, culled and written – it’s up to you to keep the passion alive in any pursuit. And therefore I consider us all experts in the field of romance and passion. So – I’m dying to hear from the experts out there –

What are some of your ‘methods for keeping the passion alive?

    I’m more a wannabe expert, as I have no test subject to work my wiles on LOL. But I look forward to what the real experts have to say.

    I would have to say change and unexpected surprises to prevent boredom or enui. In just about anything, I need to feel anticipation of something, whether it is good or bad. For example, I like to plan little events or fun activities to look forward to on the weekends. With my marriage (which is going on 11 years), spontaneity is the key. Whether it is him or me, doesn’t matter, all I know is it works.

    Kelly – you’re right – as a married woman of (I ain’t saying how many years) surprises are the best.

    I also find keeping it all alive requires being interested in the other person. Just as if I didn’t know him all my life – so each day I’m expecting to find out something new because I’m interested.
