For The Men~Blueprints
Chasing Away The Blues
Guys, remember how you romanced your lady long ago? Look what life experiences you have shared since that time. Maybe a purchase of a home, birth of children, job changes, sickness, loss of friends, up and downs of life. It's worth celebrating what you have come through together.
So it has not been a bed of roses. But you've stayed together. Both of you are two entirely different people than the two that were married years back. If the two of you recounted your experiences together, it would sound like two different settings. Two views of the same lives. How individual we can be! So of course, there's been conflicts, differences of opinion, mind boggling frustrations. But here you are after all this time. (Or maybe your relationship is new!) 
Either way, there should be a celebration. So celebrate!
You have someone to love and someone loves you.
Below are some suggestions to get you started.
~ Send a love note through the mail to her office (or for her to open at home.)
~Surprise her with a little "happy" like dinner reservations or a new restaurant you have found.
~If feasible, go by work and put her favorite music in the car player so it will play when she starts the car.
~Have her car picked up at the office for a wash job. (Don't tell her.)
~Whisper compliments to her in public.
~Rediscover coffee houses and pick a favorite table to call your own.
~You can pick up fresh flowers, even in the supermarket now.
~Buy a rose bush to plant on your anniversary.
~Need more time to be romantic? SHOOT THE TV!

Gregory Godek, author of 1001 Ways To Be Romantic, has defined an A+ relationship as:
1. The best intimate relationship you can possibly create.
2. A loving monogamous relationship that is excellent, superior, awesome, exciting, passionate, growing, fulfilling, fascinating and romantic.
3. An act of creation involving two individuals - two artists whose lifework is creating love through the medium of their relationship.
4. A relationship that, while not perfect, ranks in the ninety-fifth percentile.
Mr. Godek goes on to say, "Great relationships are acts of conscious creation, and the two of you are artists working to create one life out of two. While falling in love does "just happen," staying in love never happens by itself."
If you are having second thoughts about whether or not this relationship will work, remember a new face only is new for a while. Then, you have the same problems to contend with if you don't conquer them now. Romance has to be planned sooner or later even with a new person.
