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.

Start Journaling.


I think a very romantic thing for a couple to do together is journal. Not together but as separate entities. Buy your love and yourself little cheap journals at your local discount store and begin writing down the everyday things in life that make you happy or sad depending on the day. Now here is the romantic part. Find a special time where the two of you can sit down together and write your daily feelings out. Then make it an event make some coffee or pour a class of wine and sit down together and journal. If you want to go paper less you could use your computer, just make sure to store you journal either on a service that keeps them for you our on some removable media so that they are not only on your computer. We all know to well what happens when your computer crashes. There are several types of journal you could keep if you don't just want to write down diary entries. You could keep a gratitude journal of all the things you are grateful for or you could keep a expense journal to keep track of your finances a little better.


If you want to journal together you can use it as a means of communication. People who have problems expressing their feeling sometimes have a better time writing them down. This works great if one partner is a talker and the other is more reserved. This allows the more reserved partner to get their feelings out without getting interrupted. You can keep a sex journal and list all the things the two of you have done that have worked or not. When you keep a journal together you both read the others entries and learn from them. This way you really know how your partner felt about what the two of you did together. Then you know if you should do it again or abandon that idea.


Journaling also helps keep everything in perspective. Sometimes when your feelings are running high we don't make the best decisions. If you write down these feelings then go back and read over them you might see that the way you were feeling was just silly and because your emotions were high you were not thinking clearly. So go out today and pick up some journals it can make your life a whole lot better.

Mark those Anniversaries.


One thing that will definitely show how romantic you are is to make sure you celebrate anniversaries. If you are in a new relationship it may sound a little silly. Showing someone that the days you met or your remember your first date will definitely impress your partner. Big anniversaries like the ones associated with weddings are a no brainer, if you don't remember them then you have a problem and your partner will most likely let you know that. However if you can just get a little care on the anniversary of your first date, you will get mega brownie points. For those of you about to embark on your first date with someone and you even remotely hit it off, make notes of the date. Write down things like what they were wearing, songs that you heard, the place that you ate, then in a couple of years if you are still together that will be very impressive. Don't trust your memory, it can fail you when you need it.


One the other hand don't over due it. That will only make you look like a weirdo. If you give them a card for the first time you took a walk together you partner might be wondering why they are with you in the first place. For the major anniversaries go all out and if you are on a fixed budget then work around it. Where there is a will there is a way. Get cheap flowers at the discount store and put them in a special vase, cook them a special meal, or just go on a long hand in hand walk. Those are the things that are important in a relationship. Sure jewelry and sports tickets are nice but they are fleeting but gazing into someones eyes at a sunset last forever.
