If you scored low in the tests you’ve taken as you read this book, DON’T GIVE UP!

 

You should sit down and come up with your best approach, talk to your partner if you feel it is appropriate and start the plan as soon as possible. 

 

Don’t be embarrassed to talk with your partner about this subject.

 

If you care about each other, you are only going to improve things in your relationship.

 

You don’t have to start with the MOST intimate discussion or decide who has been the most neglectful. 

 

Remind your partner that the both of you WANT things to be the best they can be and that you both care about each other, and take it from there. 

 

As we’ve said before, you will get more comfortable with this romantic role as you proceed with your plan.  So, for now, don’t try to be the most romantic person on the face of the earth, or blow away your partner with a new, overwhelming effort every day. 

 

Just get on track with the small stuff, and then build your romance as you go.

 

It will give you something to look forward to in the coming months and years!

 

The Personal Touch

 

As you prepare to energize your romantic life and send your Romance Meter soaring, remember to keep it personal!

 

No romantic suggestion is likely to work for you if it is something that you KNOW you and your partner will not like. 

There is a difference between feeling uncomfortable because you still have to form those romantic habits, and feeling uncomfortable because the romantic event or gesture you chose is something that DOESN’T FEEL RIGHT for you or your partner.

 

 

You want your life as a couple to be renewed and romantic, but not awkward.
