subject: 5 Simple Ways of Keeping Your Relationship Fresh and Healthy [print this page] We often think dating is for singles looking for love but thats exactly where lots of couples go wrong. Dating is essential at every stage of a relationship. Whether youve been together three weeks or three years you should never stop making an effort to spend quality time together. The sad truth is that after a week of endless meetings and tight schedules, thinking of imaginative ways to spend time with your sweetheart takes effort, even if you're in the early stages of dating. Put a date in your diary each week or once a month to spend dedicated anduninterruptedtime together and we can guarantee you'll keep the flame alive for a long time. Go somewhere new: dont just go for supper. Meet at a gallery, go to a concert or watch a foreign film. New experiences inject energy into a relationship and create an immediate bond. Take turns: dont leave it up to one person to arrange a date every week. Alternate when organising outings for each other to make sure youre both making the effort. Surprise: show your date you really care by arranging something you know they will love; something theyve been talking about for ages and never got round to, perhaps? Or something theyve never thought of doing but you know theyd love. What about roller-skating, ice-climbing, or a contemporary art exhibition? Get out of town: book a train ticket to Brighton or South-end on sea, for example. Why not hire a couple of bicycles and tap into your inner child again? There are lots of places you can go for the day, if you dont have a whole weekend to spare. Introduce some old-fashioned romance: dont be scared of doing something a little bit cheesy like watching the sunset together over Primrose hill, having a bubble bath or cooking a candle-lit dinner. We all need a bit more old-fashioned romance in our lives.
