Hello and welcome to The Couples Expert Podcast! This is episode 150 of our show. Stuart’s topic today is romance and Valentine’s Day. Stuart has done previous Valentine’s Day podcasts, but this year is going to be a bit different. He’s going to be discussing the other 364 days of the year where you have an opportunity to be just as romantic as you would on Valentine’s Day.

Stuart did a presentation for Podfest 2018 in Orlando this past week and he came back so jazzed about talking to other podcasters about his love for his work. Speaking of love…

Romance is not about Valentine’s Day! You don’t love your partner only on February 14th. If that’s the only day you’re showing love to your partner, there’s something terribly wrong! Listen as Stuart brings you some valuable insight into romancing your partner all throughout the year.

What you’ll learn from today’s podcast:

  • Romance is a living aspect of your partnership 2:48
  • Pay attention to your partner to learn what they think is romantic 4:56
  • Making your gifts meaningful -The most romantic things are not just things 6:00
  • Those little things you do for each other that makes it all worthwhile 7:33
  • Romance is in the details of your daily interactions 12:15
  • The most unromantic, romantic gestures of the year 16:54

Appearances and superficial gifts change and pass away. The love you share with each other, the little kindnesses you share are the things that last. Keep learning and growing together no matter how long you’ve been together. Your connection should deepen as time goes by. Have new experiences and have adventures that are just for the two of you. Be that little old couple holding hands walking down the road. You’re building that romance that will carry you for the rest of your lives.

Our favorite Hallmark holiday is this month. February is the month of romance. Ah so sweet! Just think of candy, roses, romantic dinners and the two of you dancing the night away to celebrate your love. If you’re a couple with small children, the reality of your romantic life after kids could be vastly different! Chances are that your days and nights are consumed by more crying babies than passionate encounters. You are more familiar with dirty diapers than dirty dancing. The meaning of a romantic dinner is one where you and your partner get to sit down to eat at the same table at the same time.

If this sounds all too familiar, don’t despair! It might not seem possible now, but I am here to tell you that there is life after kids. You and your partner have a challenge right now and that is to keep your love and your passion alive during this chaotic time; to find your love among the ruins. It is possible to flirt, to play and to fan those smoldering embers of love while you’re in the midst of young childhood parenting. Think of it as foreplay through the toddler years. [Read More] 

JOIN THE CONVERSATION

My favorite part of doing these podcasts is participating in the conversations they provoke. Each week I present one question, and this week, here is our focus: Question: What is an area in your life that has been impacted by your relationship with your partner?
