"Hello, my name is Reka Morvay. I'm a psychologist and I'm going to talk to you about how to have a romantic marriage. Keeping the romance alive is one of the most difficult things in any long term relationship, especially a marriage. But it is also equally important to keep the romance alive because that keeps your relationship alive. The first step is respect. Now this may sound pretty simple, but play nice. Very often, couples when they have lived together for a long time begin to use tones of voice with each other that are not very respectful. Try to keep your tone respectful and keep your attitude respectful to your spouse because these things have a way of escalating. And you want to keep an atmosphere of loving and respect in your relationship. The second thing is, take time. A relationship needs time. It is something that has to be built and has to be worked on. If you just leave it and expect it to go on, it will not go in the right way. You have to take time out to spend with your spouse; to spend time together, to build your relationship, and keep reaffirming your commitment to each other. Do something with each other that you enjoy. Maybe you need to schedule time every week. Our lives are pretty busy. Everybody has a job. You have kids, you have other commitments that are all very, very time consuming. So it can be important to schedule regular time with your spouse to go and do something that you both enjoy where you can reconnect and take time off from the worries and cares of the world and just focus on each other. Also, find out what it is that your spouse enjoys. Maybe they like compliments? Maybe they life gifts? Maybe they like favors? Try to find out what your spouse enjoys and try to do things for them that they would enjoy. And also make sure you communicate what you need out of your relationship to your spouse and give them the chance to do something nice for you."
