Learn How Couples Say "No" To Divorce In today’s era of high divorce rates, couples who not only stand the test of time but seem to grow more and more in love are always being asked, “What’s your secret to preventing divorce?” Here are three secrets to help your own romance last past the honeymoon stage: 1. MAKE ROMANTIC GESTURES BOTH PLANNED AND IMPULSIVE. Love itself might be effortless, but the gestures that help sustain it aren’t. As with any sort of interpersonal arrangement, you get out of romance what you put into it. Romantic gestures can be as spontaneous as a hug from behind while you’re doing the dishes, to something planned beforehand like a card or gift. While spontaneity reflects whimsy and impulse, sometimes a sweet nothing means something more when it involves forethought. Your lover wants to know you were thinking of them even when they weren’t around. Lovers also want to be surprised. So mix it up between the planned and spontaneous gestures, from the deeply meaningful to the silly fun. I always say that romance is “effort-full”, but the pay-off can be a love that flourishes. |
