Wrap up a memory

The economy is hoping that you are going out and spending a bunch of money this Christmas, and yes that is the way to break out of a recession. However, a romantic thing to do for your partner is to give them something for Christmas that reminds them of a special time the two of you had together. Maybe it is a picture from you last vacation, or the baby booties of your first born child. Think back through out the year and try to remember anything monumental that happened to the two of you during that last year together. Firsts are always something to remember such as the first marathon you ran, your first house or even the first time you kissed. Now the job is to find something that you can wrap up that will take them back to that time. A picture of the event is a great way, go out a purchase a nice frame and place the picture inside it, the will immediately remember that event. Items from that event are another suggestion, say you had a child together during this year then the little beanie that they but on the baby in the hospital in a frame would be an extra special thing you could hang on your wall. You can pick up brochures from your last vacation destination, or programs from events you attended. If a special song was playing during your memory you could pick up that song for them. The important thing about wrapping up a memory is that it will get your partner thinking about the wonderful times the two of you have together.

Another Great Romantic Movie

Adding another great romantic movie to your collection is a great idea. One of my favorites (as always with a little comedy) is "50 first dates". Staring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore it is a story about a young lady that loses her memory everyday so the suitor Adam Sandler has to get her to fall in love with him each and every day. It is a hilarious romp through some beautiful scenery. Don't miss this one it will make you laugh and cry and then laugh some more.

Journal great events in your relationship

Journaling is a great way to remember and sort things out. Why not do this in our relationship also? You can call it a diary but for the men we will call it a journal. Jot down short notes to make you remember things as the happen in your relationship. This such as the first kiss, or experiencing something for the first time are great suggestions. You partner will be amazed when down the road you can remember things about the early part of your relationship. With each entry make sure to include the date and anything that would stand out to you. You can also include things like what both of you were wearing or if your partner looked especially nice on this evening. Write down things that make you love your partner even more, like if they help an old woman cross the street, or just playing with the kids. Then when you partner asks you "Why do you love me" you have plenty of ammo to fire at them. Unfortunately some times we forget little things that mean so much, but with journaling these memories are just a page turn away.
