♡ Hand kisses, slow caresses tracing the lines of a lover’s palms.
♡ Bubble-baths taken in the dim light of candles and two glasses of champagne.
♡ Weekend dates at the theatre and opera delighting in the arts together.
♡ Massages offered frequently and lovingly, to stay familiar with the sacred map of the other’s body.
♡ Discussing your differing love languages and how to harmonize them in the most healing manner.
♡ Giving and receiving flowers. Any day, simply because it is lovely.
♡ Gifts of perfume, satin scarves, gloves, poetry books, dainty beautiful things.
♡ Slow-dancing in the dark to romantic music: vintage, classical, jazz …
♡ Small gestures of mindfulness to each other’s needs, preferences, tastes; small gestures of kindness to show that you’re always on each other’s mind. Having a cup of their favorite tea ready when they wake up, making the bed for you as soon as you wake up, or cooking your favorite meal / fitness-oriented menu when they know you’re having a tiring day, etc.
♡ Instead of settling for unsatisfying compromises, actively engaging in open conversations where the best possible outcome for both is striven for. Knowing that it’s not a battle, let alone one where the victor is the one who gains more ground. Knowing that it is a harmonious partnership, to change the mentality to one where both always win if possible.
