Romantic getaways are all around you if you know how to spot them.

Most people think romantic getaways are just about romantic vacations — exotic love, field of dreams, trips away flush with love and romance. But you don’t have to get away to have  romantic getaways.

Love and romance are everywhere in your own home and you can enjoy them every day.

What is love and romance if it’s not the connection between you. Those feelings of sweet, emotional intimacy that take you out of your daily routine into romantic getaways that can last beyond just a few moments, in fact you can enjoy romantic vacations that take you to the center of the love that lives between you—and that lead to the most passionate sexual intimacy.

How can you spot them? It’s all about your alive romantic imagination and it doesn’t take much at all.

What about a pat or pinch on the butt as you pass each other in the hall and then a quick smiling glance? Whoosshh— right to the intimacy center of your relationship.

Doesn’t sound like much? But when you enjoy those moments of love and romance two or three times a day (or more) your need for romantic getaways in the form of romantic vacations fades into the background.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t plan romantic vacations. They are rejuvenating, and can take your love and romance to deeper and deeper levels.

But the fact is, most of us can’t go running off every day. But we can live our love every day. Why waste the opportunity to keep love and romance alive?

So start paying attention to how you relate to each other so you can spot those romantic vacations that are right there in front of you . . . romantic getaways that come alive in a look, a touch, a smile, a “Thank  You.” 

Paying attention itself is very romantic.

Too many people think of love and romance as something exotic, like romantic vacations to Tahiti or someplace. And then they spend their lives going hungry for the romance that is all around them. 

Just remember, the love and romance between you are the source of your romantic getaways that will turn your home into a wonder of romantic vacations.

Your engagement ring tells a number of stories. It talks about your taste, about what you can afford, about your need to show it off - or not. But your engagement ring tells a far more important story. A far more romantic story.

It tells the romantic story of your relationship.

If you’re like most couples you are always looking for unique wedding ideas. . .

You rack your brains, ask your friends, exhaust yourselves searching for unique wedding ideas and overlook the most romantic idea possible — the story of your love.

Okay, so let’s look at a few possibilities waiting for you in the choice of your engagement ring.

The size of your engagement ring talks about your need to be seen. Maybe you have to outdo those you know. A large engagement ring would reveal that without you saying a word. That’s certainly not very romantic.

What about the design of your engagement ring? Did you have it designed? If you did, your engagement ring will express the time and thought you both put into this deeply unique expression of your love. Now that’s truly romantic.

Looking for unique wedding ideas? Shop for your ring together. Your friends may say that’s not very romantic. But just imagine how romantic it can be when the two of you talk about what you want and what your engagement ring will say years later about this special time before you’re married?

You can find unique wedding ideas everywhere, but they won’t be your unique wedding ideas.

The only unique wedding ideas that will be truly romantic for the two of you are those you discover and create yourselves.

So what about your engagement ring? What do you want it to say about your love — during your engagement, your wedding, and when you are grandparents? If you give your heart to it, your engagement ring will say, over and over again, just how romantic, romantic, romantic you are. It will be all about the two of you, and that will remove the burden and time of having to search and search for unique wedding ideas that are waiting for you right there in your engagement ring.

Relationship recovery is hard enough without having to toe the line with relationship rules. I know it’s hard when you’re in the middle of a breakup, but to be told that conforming to relationship rules is the only way out is simply NOT true.

Beware relationship books that dictate what you should be doing. Yes it’d be nice if you could get through your recovery by just doing what somebody tells you. But you know that’s not the way it works. So . . .

Don’t read this article as though it’s a set of relationship rules. It’s not. And don’t look for relationship books to find relationship rules that exactly fit who you are. You won’t.

You are the person you should trust, even when you’re feeling lost and depressed, because you’re the only one who can lead you through your relationship recovery and back to life again.

Begin by making the commitment to face into the pain. It’s there. It’s real. And it’s not going away right away — especially if you deny or avoid it. Your relationship recovery depends on this commitment.

Relationship books filled with relationship rules will tell you just the opposite. Pay no attention.

That’s not to say you can’t get what you need in some of the relationship books you’ll find. It’s just that you can’t treat them as though they are rule books. “Just follow me and everything will be okay.”

Those who make up relationship rules — and I do mean “make up” — don’t know you. So how can what they dictate apply? Yes, you’ll connect with some of what they write. But then it’s up to you to see if you can make what you find relevant to your unique life.

Relationship books and relationship rules can be dangerous if you’re not following your own mind and heart on your way to your personal and unique relationship recovery.
