50 Loving ways to Keep Your Relationships Alive

My list is designed to be a quick check for you to review. Use it to give you ideas to maintain your relationship, to give it a positive boost, or just simply for some ideas. My advice is to print this list off and give it to your partner and then take turns each on fulfilling what each other wants.

Always remember that just because you have started dating and may be seeing someone in the beginnings of your new relationship that you do not forget how to be romantic. If anything, the longer you date someone the more romantic you become.
