Create More Romance In Your Life
By: Mark Maxwell
Ah, romance, that wonderful and exciting feeling, that most
glorious intertwining of two hearts. So intense, such a high, but
so fleeting, and so often for so many once gone never to return.
But does it have to be that way? Can we intentionally create and
sustain more romance in our lives?
Most folks profess to want more romance in their lives. Indeed, for
some, romance is a goal unto itself, or at least high on the list
of goals for their love relationships.
But if having romance in our committed love relationships is a
highly prized goal, and if so many people want more of it in their
lives, how can we create, cultivate, and encourage it? What
concrete steps can we take to make sure that romance takes seed and
flourishes?
The purpose of this article is to explore the idea that romance
begins in your heart-center and grows outward, and is, to some
significant degree, a reflection of how you feel about yourself. In
other words, by romancing yourself first you can create the
conditions that allow you to experience and express romance with
another more easily.
Listen: your capacity to love and accept yourself is the measure of
your capacity to love and accept others. The same can be said for
romance: your ability and willingness to create romance within is
the measure of the romance you can help create in a committed
loving relationship.
True romance isnt just about flowers and poems. Flowers and poems
are great, of course, but are really just an extension of a feeling
that comes from within, something that starts in, and flows from,
the heart. Without that heart-felt feeling, flowers and poems are
but an attempt be to romantic, not an expression of true
romance.
So how do you create more romance in your life? Begin by romancing
yourself. Love, accept, and forgive yourself on a deep level. Treat
yourself with respect and understanding. Buy yourself flowers.
Write yourself a poem. Treat yourself with respect and dignity. And
remember: if you dont love yourself first, you cant truly love
another.
And remember that it is far more important to be the right person
than to find the right person. Our relationships are a reflection
of the relationship we have with ourselves. Romance, too, is a
reflection of that inner state. By first creating romance within,
youll be well on your way to creating more romance in your
life.
