What better way to grow old together is to start making good memories while we were young…
For me, there are more than a thousand and one reasons to fall in love. And there are more than a million ways to express and share love to and with someone. I know many couples who have gone on candlelight dinners, river cruises, and country tours on their anniversaries.
And I think those are just some of the great and romantic ways to celebrate a partner’s love and sacred lifelong commitment. In this article,
I want to share my own concept of love and how to keep it for eternity through simple ways.
Love Is Not One, But Two. True love is not one-sided. When you find it, you will love not one person but two—the good and the worst. If you will only love her bright side, you will only enjoy her sweet heart. But to embrace the worst of him means you see the beauty of his soul. Fully loving is not just about seeing someone’s flaws, but learning how to nurture those imperfections and grow them into lovable attributes.
Rest And Rise Together. Isn’t it sweet to face each other in bed, look each other in the eye, half hug, and talk about what happened to your day? How beautiful it would be to close your eyes with the last thing you saw was his face. And when the sunrise wakes you, that same handsome face will greet you with joy and inspiration. Then you will make a wish and a prayer that when you grow old, you want to see the same beautiful face, even though it is wrinkled, every time you wake up. Sleeping and waking up together is a concrete way to describe growing old together.
Find Love Puzzles. Make it an endless quest to find something new from each other every day. Tell him how he surprised you with something you just learned from him. Marriage is an endless journey and look for bigger surprises. What you learn from each other every day is just a piece to help you solve and unravel the beautiful jigsaw puzzle of your twilight years. Imagine when you got to see something fresh from your husband, wouldn’t that excite you?
Play Childish Games. Be a kid once in a while and relive the memories of youth. Playing childish games will help you remember those great times and maybe want to try them one more time. Love is always a thrilling game and relationships want fun, adventure and surprises. Having fun together strengthens your bond. Play tag games in the rain or on the beach, tease each other, pinch each other’s cheeks, tickle each other’s armpits or soles of feet, play video games, and just have fun together.
Grow With Technology. Indulge in a craze for high-tech gadgets and keep up with the latest trends in technology. Why don’t you shop together? Find the latest phones, buy iPads, iPad keyboards, iPad keyboard case, and other gadgets you can explore together while you’re in bed or on the couch. Then, create your Facebook or Twitter account together. Download an app that lets you connect with each other even when you’re both working, and join your mutual friends online. Use these gadgets to teach others about technology and to forge closer bonds.
Travel Together. Traveling together is definitely enriching. It makes beautiful and unforgettable memories that both of you will cherish time after time. Visit places you’ve never seen. Go to Paris and fall in love with each other all over again. Embark on a cruising expedition and spend some time kissing the sun down. Intimacy means having alone time together. Travel will help you continue to forge deeper, stronger, and better relationships.
Keep the Romantic Fire Burning. Test. Trying something new. Be brave every day and every night. Never settle for the ordinary. Turn your romance into an inviting game where you can play beyond your limits. There’s so much to explore when it comes to this department. Add new sensations, learn something new and surprise each other.
Capture Beautiful Memories. Enjoy every moment you spend together. Why don’t you keep a journal and document every event in your life together. Always celebrate love. Don’t fail to kiss. Don’t fail to touch. And don’t forget to cuddle. Don’t forget to say “I love you” every day. Love will no doubt have a secure hold when partners have precious things to protect, value, and live for.
When we find true love, we can do great things. Some of them are so stupid that we will regret later, but most of them will always remind us of how love blooms from humble beginnings. There are things we may regret, but we don’t care because we know there is nothing we can’t get through as long as we have each other. And when we find the right one, we will never try to learn to let go.
