| Seize the day-and the hours and the minutes. |
| Don't wait for perfect moments. |
| You have the power to create them yourself… |
| A stolen moment, the gift of time, |
| a thoughtful expression of love, |
| all help to make love grow and set the heart aflutter. |
 |
| Romance isn't just for the special occasions on your calendar - |
| It's what makes any time you have together special. |
| Celebrate what you have! |
| Time together balanced with time apart, |
| along with healthy doses of trust and humor, |
| will make your every day sparkle. |
 |
| The things that you and your partner do for each other |
| reaffirm your love and your commitment each day. |
| These acts of kindness may range from large to small, |
| but it's important to acknowledge all of them. |
 |
Say, "I love you" first.
Say it many times and say it for no reason at all. |
Remember all of the reasons that you fell in love with your partner in the first place.
Write a list and leave it somewhere where your spouse will find it. |
Reread your old love letters.
Be warned: This can bring out a torrent of emotion!
When you are done, write your spouse a new one. |
Revisit a place that has special meaning to you.
It might be the place where you first said: " I love you",
or the country inn where you enjoyed that memorable getaway.
Wherever it is, return to it on occasion.
Not only will the trip stir up tender feelings, but it will let you reflect on how your love has grown. |
Do you remember what you did during the first year you dated - what music you listened to or what films you watched?
Bring out those CD's or videos and experience them again.
You'll bring back wonderful memories. |
Remind yourself to savor every moment.
Too often we think about the things we wish we had or could have.
Yes, it's important to plan for the future,
but make a conscious effort to savor the precious gift of your love every day.
We only have today; we don't know what tomorrow will bring. |
 |
| Everybody loves a celebration, but too many of us save the bells and whistles for the big days like holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries. |
| Do not wait for the big events to reveal your romantic inspirations. |
| This Friday, tomorrow morning, tonight - |
| It's your time to celebrate. |

| Show that you think of her/him when you're not together. |
| Never forget that a present is a way of saying: "I love you!" all over again... |
