THE FUSE

Whether a couple has been together for five months or five years, their romantic bond will always benefit from an infusion of loving care and attention. Investing in a partner takes time and effort, however, which most people are willing to put in at the beginning of a relationship, but it often tapers off over time. To ensure partners do not begin to take each other for granted, couples can take intentional steps over the course of their relationship to revitalize romance. The key is committing to making a fresh start, not a false start, by following through on the promises and commitments made.
