Day One-Last

Romance seems to be something that is sought after, yet rarely kept sacred throughout the years.  Whether you have been in a relationship for ten months, or ten years...this concept should never fade, or you better plan on the relationship itself fading.

Do you ever compare the beginning of the relationship to where it is now?  Some of us may be disappointed, wondering where the small gestures, long goodbyes, and cute nicknames have gone.  This will not only cause a feeling of unhappiness or lack of appreciation, but it will cause resentment toward your partner. 

This only occurs because after a long while, couple seem to fall into a trance of being too comfortable with each other.  While comfortability is key, you should never get too comfortable.  Keeping each other in a constant state of bliss, excitement, and mystery goes hand in hand with not letting the sparks slip away.  When you walk down the street and see an 85 year old couple, you may wonder how they'have remained together so long, being so happy; the only word that comes to mind is romance.  Whether it be sitting alongside the shore of Del Mar, or walking hand in hand in the Gaslamp district, don't let the feelings and actions you took at the very beginning...diminish.
