Romantic Pursuit

[Samantha Wong]

Recently I was talking to some friends and realize that many don't have really romantic lives anymore. I was oblivious to it as my hubby and me have always been romantic. We are constantly teasing each other and we have good to great sex still. I think the fun should never leave the marriage or even after kids.

I think many people give up after kids and slip into passive mode? I was telling my friend that in life, always try to learn new things, try something unexpected and you will be surprise how your hubby will respond.

Ok knowing many are visual creatures, when I did my self up a little, I noticed, that he notices...than I am always teasing him which makes him feel confident as well, I know he is proud of me as he talks about me on FB, so that is good - no one to hide the family from. (Evil laughter) but jokes aside, we try our best to keep the fun going and surprises and open conversation.

About his fav motorcycle, car and sports....I used to yawn but after reading up about it, he enjoys and engages with me, and I will always shoot something new, like, why the capacity don't balance with BPH and torque...haha or while in the car, I will point out a Cafe Racer.

Ladies, keep the romantic pursuit going. Start small to get the momentum moving. And wishing all happiness.

Oh yes, my daughter and son sees this and they are learning what a happy marriage is about. I am not saying we are perfect or never fight, we do, but we make up before we sleep. We are still working on it.

That sounds like the way a marriage should be! Of all the books I've read about relationships, I really like the one that talks about us as having a love tank, and we should never let it become empty. If our partner's love tank is empty, they simply don't have the resources to fill our tank. We have to keep at it, and balance out each other's love tanks. Thanks for sharing, I'm starting to realise the same thing with some of my friends and it felt weird that I have just a different life. Just this weekend, I was making brunch, we were listening to songs from the sixties, my husband suddenly grabbed me around the waist and then started dancing with me and spinning me around -- all while I'm holding onto a pack of frozen bacon hahaha. To me, that's the perfect kind of life, and makes me so happy. People say, oh you shouldn't expect that kind of scene, those only happen in the movies. I'm glad I didn't believe them and didn't settle for anything less than wonderful romance!
