Every woman craves a little romance. Romance makes a woman feel worthy of her relationship. And a relationship gesture doesnt just make butterflies take flight in our stomachs.
Getting romanced can actually build self esteem, as well as bond a woman to her husband.
If you're wanting a little extra loving, you can get it and its relationship-boosting benefits with a few simple tips even if you've got the kind of guy who's not a natural romantic.
Men can make their women feel great about themselves, their husbands and the marriage, simply by creating romantic gestures. But if they don't because it's not their inclination, or they're distracted, or simply don't feel that romance is important there are things that women can do to nurture the mood.
Compliment him
Tell him he's really good at something, he's really sexy when he does a particular thing, or he looks totally hot in a particular outfit.
You are so good at this,' is a line that any wife can use on her husband whether it's because he fixed a broken chair or performed a particular sex act and make him want to be romantic and offer romantic gestures to her in return.
