“Romantic relationships are all about mirroring the love that is already present deep within each and every one of us. When our love is pure, honest and sincere, our romantic relationships become the boat that lead us back to ourselves, and back to that eternal love we thought was missing from our lives.” ~ Luminita D. Saviuc

Romantic Relationships

People often think that it is the great, bold and grandiose things that have the power to improve our romantic relationships and deepen our love. But that’s not really the case.

Love is simple, humble and free. It needs no grand gestures to be felt, known and appropriated. And the truth is that it is the small things that have the power to make a huge difference when it comes to our romantic relationships and our love life.

6 Small Things That Make a Huge Difference When It Comes to Love and Romantic Relationships

1. Making time for one another

If you love your partner as much as you say you do, and if you want them to feel and know this to be true, you have to make time for them. 

Time is an incredibly precious gift. And when you offer someone your time, you are in fact proving to them that it is true, you honestly love, adore and want to be with them. 

2. Listening more & talking less

If there is one thing you can be sure of, it is this: everyone longs to be heard and understood. This is something we all desperately crave for, especially when we’re in a romantic relationship. 

If you can make an effort to listen more and talk less, not only will your relationship with your partner improve, but you will also help the one you love realize that it is safe for them to be vulnerable… it is safe for them to be heard and seen. Which of course, will help them to relax, feel more at ease, at peace, and safe in loving you and being loved by you. 

3. Hugging more and arguing less.

Nobody in their right mind wants to argue. Nobody wants to lose their peace of mind just so they can prove a point. What people really want… What they desperately need is to love and be loved. 

This is what we all want!

If you can remember this whenever the urge to get into a fight over who is right and who is wrong… if you can shift from wanting ‘justice’ to remembering that love makes everything melt away, you will be able to bow your head to the wisdom of your heart. And instead of getting into an argument with the person you probably love the most, you will walk towards your partner and give them the greatest hug of all. 

4. Looking for the good in one another

Here’s the thing: as human beings, we’re all flawed. Nobody’s perfect—not even you, and not even your partner (I know, what a shock!) And if you can both make peace with this great truth; if you accept that there will be things about your partner that you might not like. And if, instead of obsessing and fixating about those thing, you can make it a habit to look for the good, the beautiful and the noble in one another, not only will you both be a lot happier, but you will also be able to experience a level of love you never even knew was possible.

5. Replacing judgment with kindness and appreciation

Do you like it when people pick on you? When they criticize and judge every little thing you say and do? I’m sure you don’t! In fact, I’m sure you hate it. And I’m sure it makes it quite difficult for you to like and want to be around those people who act towards you in such violent and unloving ways. 

Well, guess what? The same applies to romantic relationships. 

The people who love each other deeply, appreciate one another more than they judge, condemn and harshly criticize. In fact, if there is something that needs to be addressed; something that bothers them and affects the relationship, they have learned to address it with so much love, care, tenderness and compassion that they never feel like they are criticized. Because they’re not!

6. Saying ‘I Love you’ more often

If all we want is to love and be loved, it makes sense to say ‘I love you’ and say it often, don’t you agree? When love is felt, it has to be affirmed. And what better way to do this than to say: ‘I love you’ and really mean it. 

And these are the small things that can help make a huge difference when it comes to romantic relationships. What about you? What else would you add on this list? And what do you think is the number one thing that can help make a huge difference in the quality of our romantic relationships?
