Romantic Things Married CoupleS Do

Hmm… The list of romantic things in the previous post was more for couples who are still dating each other. Couples who are in a relationship that has no strings attached….. yet.

When you are married, life is different with additional commitments mentally, physically, financially, etc.

Here are some romantic things that married couples do (compiled from my happily married friends).

1. Make sure your other half gets a decent meal when he/she comes home from work. late at night & accompany them for the meal just to find out how was his/her day.
2. Learn to cook his/her favourite dish even though you can’t fry an egg.
3. Take care of your other half when they are sick or invalid.
4. Make sure they are well covered with the blanket in the middle of the night so that they won’t catch cold.
5. Wear their clothes to feel them & smell them when you miss them.
6. You know you will not be afraid to fall because he/she is always there to catch you. You trust them with your life.
7. Snuggle under their arms to keep warm.
8. Do housework together. Wash the car together.
9. Spend your hard earned money on them to make them happy when you have to think twice to buy that pair of shoes to replace your worn out one because it makes you happier to see them smile than wearing a new pair of shoes.
10. You would rather risk your life than seeing them suffer in sickness. Donate your internal organs like one of your kidneys or corneas to save his/her's life.
11. Make up after being angry with each other. No matter how the other half made you angry, you always forgive them and love them just the same. Stick together through thick and thin, for better or worse.
12. Still think that your other half is the greatest person even though they dig their nose, fart, have bad breathe, rings of spare tyres on their waist, have orange peel skin thigh, etc.
13. Groom each other, like cut/comb their hair, shave their beard, dig their ear wax, etc.
14. Work your guts out paying for mortgages to put a roof on your family.
15. Take good care of yourself so that he/she wouldn’t need to worry about your well being in additional to the pressure they face everyday.

The list is endless but the bottom line is saying, “I love you” is not enough nor the romantic gesture of dedicating a song over the radio for your loved ones. When it comes to spending the rest of your life with someone you love, commitment, sacrifice, understanding, communication and actions speak louder than saying “I love you’.

When the both of you are really old and wrinkled like 80 years old and still hold each other hands when you walk, now that is really romantic.
