Relationship Cpr: Bring Love Back

If your relationship is getting dry, boring, tedious and utterly difficult to bear, then do read on. Losing the "spark" does not mean that you have to go separate ways. You simply have to bring the love, the passion back and here are practical, foolproof ways to do it.

Whoever said that love never dies is greatly mistaken. It can die if it is not nourished and properly taken care of. The good news is there is such a thing as a relationship CPR.

You can revive the flame and the magic that once left you starry eyed and dreamy. You can still be the "heroine" of the film called life with your prince contently back in your arms. Here is how to do it.

Tragic love stories like Romeo and Juliet may be good on stage and in theaters but never in real life. Please do not create a catastrophe in your relationship, hoping that it would spice things up a bit. It might set things on fire and it might get too big and far beyond your control.

Choose to be happy.

Focus on the positives and see the good in your boyfriend or girlfriend - that would surely make a long list. Avoid drama and heartbreak, hoping that making up would make things so much sweeter - that only works in movies.

The gift of gab is not just for hosts and emcees - it works great in relationships too. Have you spent time just talking to your girlfriend or boyfriend lately? It doesn't have to be about profound and intellectual things. Just speak your mind, no holds barred about anything and everything - from light stuff like the best thing that happened to you today to heavier things like future plans and the like.

For a relationship to stay fun, exciting and worthwhile, it is important to acknowledge the importance of the open line, meaning two way communication. Nothing can work better to revive the magic than spending quality time with your special someone.

Go the extra mile.

Your special someone should feel just that - special and there's no better way to do that than to do something for your boyfriend or girlfriend.

It does not have to be something grand like candlelit dinner in the most posh and expensive restaurant in town. In fact it doesn't even have to be downright fancy.

It can be as simple as passing by your boyfriend's or girlfriend's office just to bring him or her breakfast. Who cares if it's just from Mc Donald's? What's important is you went the extra mile by driving all the way there to deliver pancakes and coffee yourself.

For married couples, a dinner and movie date on Wednesday night or a romantic weekend get-away for two would help to spark up the love and the passion in a marriage relationship.

Relationship CPR is as simple as 1,2,3 - at least in paper. The truth is bringing love back can be quite a challenge - a challenge that can be overcome if you truly love your partner.

Doing relationship CPR is a choice. Have you made yours?
