I’m feeling sad today.  A lovely young man has rung me to cancel his night away this Saturday as he and his partner are no longer together.  This booking was made only a couple of weeks ago and when I asked if it was a special occasion he confided in me that the purpose was to refresh their relationship.  It would now appear that a night away was too little too late and it’s this that makes me sad – and to be honest a little cross!

Why is it that people get complacent in their relationships?  Think about it, how often have you waited for your special someone to complain about being unhappy. Or express their concerns that your relationship is in a rut before you do something romantic for them?  It’s something most of us have been guilty of at some time.

This is a dangerous situation to get yourself in, because one day those complaints could be followed with those dreaded words, I just don’t love you any more.  There is a quote from Will Rogers – “Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there”.  To me this is very true in your relationships-don’t rest on your laurels, put in the effort to nurture your love & you’ll reap the rewards for years to come.

The best time for romance is when you are happy.  That thought of your special someone that flits through your head at work and makes you smile, act on it and take home some flowers.  That hint they dropped about how nice a romantic getaway would be, act on it and call us to make the booking.  Those tips you get from Romantic Gestures each week, don’t just read them, take action!

I do what I do because I am passionate about love and I don’t want you to become another statistic.  I know you are busy, we all are but your relationship is important and without some time and effort it will stagnate.  So call me and lets make a plan together to keep your love alive so you don’t end up in the same situation as my lovely client has.
