Romance is More than Words

It’s true, that romance is more than words. Thanksgiving affords us a time to reflect and count our blessings. It’s also a time when you can show your love and appreciation of your lover by introducing a little more romance into your relationship.

==No place for complacency==

So often couples become complacent and even negligent when it comes to taking the time to make those little gestures of love. These nuances of a relationship are vital to a healthy romantic relationship because when it comes to romance, actions do speak louder than words.

== Romance is more than words==

Are you in a lip-service mode? Do you go through the day on remote control when it comes to wooing your lover? What an antiquated word – wooing, and yet it’s such an eloquent word for the artform or romancing your lover.

==Gestures Vs. Words==

When you say, I love you, do you back it up with a little romance or are you just mouthing the same phrase over and over without feeling anything new or without giving any gestures that demonstrate just how deep your love runs? Next time you say those three words all lovers wait to hear:

• Surprise your lover with a dramatic flare when giving her/him a kiss.


• Literally sweep your lover off her feet and dance around the room, humming in her ear.


• Present a single red rose as a token of your love.


• Kiss her hand in a gesture of devotion.


• Whisper ‘I love you’ softly in her/his ear.


• Hand him a love letter where you’ve shared your deepest thoughts of love.


• Surprise your lover and brew a special blend of coffee for breakfast that just the two of you can share in a quiet morning before setting off for the day.


• Steal your lover away to a movie or play at the best theater in town.


• Surprise your lover with a carriage ride through the holiday lit streets.


• Take your lover on a surprise holiday house tour.

==Many ways to show appreciation==

There are so many ways you can show your lover how thankful you are for having her/him in your life this Thanksgiving. Just remember romance is more than words.
