Life couldn’t better if you tried - a successful career, adorable kids, a reliable and caring spouse – it seems tailor-made with a rosy future. But there is something missing amidst all these trappings of a happy and successful married life. The romance and excitement seems to be missing in your life. Okay, so you’ll have any number of seasoned married couples telling you that the romance fades once you get into the daily grind and the burden of responsibilities weigh heavily on your shoulders. Sure, there is a grain of truth in that but whose to say you can’t periodically inject a sporadic burst of excitement and pure adulterated romance into your daily married life, amid the kids and work schedules? Here are some tips that may work in your favor!
Communicate.
A relationship turns insipid essentially due to a lack of communication. So it is essential that you and your spouse set aside some quality time and talk straight from the heart. This period should be restrictively for the two of you – no television, interrupting phone calls or wailing kids – just you and your sweetheart. Talk about your dreams, hopes, desires and the feelings you have for each other, just the way you did in those rosy courtship days. In the course of your discussion, never stray into to the realm of family problems. There’s more than enough time for that!
Get away from the daily grind.
This will you get closer and help you stay romantic. At least once a week, arrange for a baby sitter or leave your children with a trusted ayah or an elder in the family, and simply go out together – for a film, a quiet meal or a drink at the local pub.

Romantic country stars FAITH HILL and TIM McGRAW have a special reminder of the night they decided to get married - a full-length mirror.
