Time is of the utmost importance.
Time is used for work, kids, hobbies, friends...
where do all these leave your spouse? Time flies, and never comes back, and it is difficult to live a life without regrets.
Too often, couples lose that special connection that brought them together in the first place, because they are too busy to even notice the relationship slipping through their fingers.
Yes, you are busy, and yes, you could hardly make do with the time you have on your hands.
But, as it is often said, time is what you make of it, and there are situations you need to make time for, such as romance.
Is it too formal? Some people believe that it is just too formal to schedule a romantic evening with their spouses.
However, sometimes this is the only thing you can do.
If life obligations do not allow you to include spontaneous romance in your life, you need to schedule it.
Even if this does not sound too romantic in the first place, what will happen during your date with your spouse and after, has great potential to be as romantic as you dream of.
Dealing with time restrictions There are certain stages in a couple's life when time is a very precious and scarce resource.
In order to be able to schedule romance in your life, you first need to understand the situation you are in.
If you need to take care of a small baby, or you are starting a new business, there may be very little time to use for other purposes than rest or sleep.
However, under the circumstances, you must think of introducing a bit of romance, even in bite sizes.
Remember, something is better than nothing.
Be realistic about your free time One mistake you should avoid is being overly optimistic about how much time you have at your disposal.
Time does not expand as you wish.
Since you have a limited number of hours in a day, you need to make sure to split it in comfortable chunks, and one of these chunks should be offered, no strings attached, to improving your relationship.
Are there plenty of days when you cannot do such a thing? Do not fret.
Something that cannot be done today can be postponed for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, even next week.
As long as you do not forget about it, you will have the best of chances to get it done.
It's not a bad thing to ask for help Nobody has to struggle with everything on their own.
In case you do not have enough time for romance in your life, you should consider getting some help with all the little things that prevent you from making enough time for you and your spouse.
For instance, it is not a crime to hire a babysitter to stay with your kids, while you and your spouse are enjoying an evening out on the town, or getting specialized services to wash your car.
Sacrifices are to be made You cannot treat your spouse as being the last of your priorities in your life.
Think of the things eating up your time that could be dropped in favor of scheduling some romantic time with your partner.
Sacrifices must be made, but, if you do not make them, you could end up losing more than what you think you are winning at the moment, by putting your relationship life on hold indefinitely.
Scheduling romance may sound like a farfetched idea, but the truth is it can work.
When you want to rekindle the fire in your relationship, there is always something you can do, and scheduling romance is not the worst you can do.
