Love is a tricky affair. It requires loads of understanding, commitment, sacrifices, and compromises to be in a romantic relationship.
However, if you are with someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, then all the struggles and hardships are worth it.
In a relationship little things matter, the tiniest of gestures could keep the spark alive. Here are 8 unexpected romantic gestures that your partner will love:
1. Do a chore that your partner hates doing
Find out whatever it is that they hate doing the most and do it for them. Even if it’s just a one-time thing, it will mean the world that you have listened and remembered.
2. Make one of their bucket list dreams come true
Whatever it may be, make a plan to surprise your partner with something you know they have always wanted to do or see. It doesn’t matter how small or how grand it is. The fact that your partner felt like you listened to them will show them that you care and are paying attention.
3. Bring them back a souvenir from your trip
Whether you were gone on vacation or a work trip, bringing back a little something for your significant other will show them that you were thinking about them while away.
4. Take an interest in their favorite hobby
Even if you have never found a personal passion, taking an interest in your spouse’s favorite hobby, especially if you’ve been resistant to doing so in the past, can be a great way to give them a romantic surprise.
5. Surprise them with something nice if they have had a bad day
Everybody has bad days. Maybe work was a bit rough or maybe they got some bad news. Either way, a nice bouquet of flowers or some of their favourite ice cream might make them smile, if only for a minute.
6. Pick them up at work
Whether your spouse had a stressful day at work or they just got a promotion you want to celebrate with them, picking your significant other up at the end of the workday is a romantic surprise they are sure to love.
7. Try to read their emotions
When something happens that you know will upset or anger your partner or you see in their face what they are thinking, let them know that you have a feeling they are feeling sad or mad and ask what you can do about it.
8. Have a picnic at home
Who says you have to make reservations at a fancy restaurant to surprise your spouse? Instead, try surprising them with a picnic at home. Prepare a meal, get their favorite wine and dessert, and have fun.
