The Romance Calendar - Romance isn’t just for Holidays and Special Occasions
Ooh I need romance babe , I hope you know it’s true Hope you
need romance babe, Just like I do too…
Okay, it’s not exactly the same lyrics to the Beatles song,
Eight Days a Week, but it’s true (for most of us, that is). And
just like the lyrics to the song “Eight days a Week, Is not
enough to show I care…” Romance is not reserved for holidays and
special days, it’s the wise person who is romantic on a daily
basis. And being romantic every day of the week is not that
difficult. It just takes a little forethought and imagination. I
call it planned spontaneity. And let’s face it, sometimes we
need a little help to add more romance to our relationship.
That’s where The Romance Calendar comes in. Take a look at your
calendar. What day is today? Is it Relaxation Day – the perfect
day for you and your love to sit around the house and read the
paper or have a movie marathon? And what could be more romantic
than Make a Difference Day? What could you do today to make a
difference in your love life? Why not volunteer for a special
cause together. Having a cause that you both feel strongly about
and believe in is a sure way to deepen your relationship. These
are just two ideas to show how much you care about one another.
There are 363 other days to be romantic. Use The Romance
Calendar to help you plan more of those special days.
