In the beginning of any relationship, romance is relatively easy. Here are some tips from Life Coach, Diana Smith, to keep the spark lit long after the honeymoon is over.

• Genuinely thank your spouse for the things he/she does for you.
• Show interest and learn about your spouse's leisure time activities
• Create an original card that expresses how much you value and enjoy your spouse as your mate and friend.
• Compose a list of the things that your spouse does for you or the things you really like about him/her and put it under their pillow.
• Surprise your spouse with breakfast in bed for no reason at all.
• Be affectionate with one another - even if it is just holding hands at the movies.
• Surprise your spouse with a short day-trip together to their favorite spot.
• Leave a love note where your spouse can find it when you aren't around.
• Massage your spouse's feet after a hard day.
• Light candles and turn on soft music before your spouse comes to bed.
• Leave a loving message on your spouse's voicemail.
• Apologize, even though you may feel you are right. This lets your spouse know that you don't care who is right or wrong.
• Learn how to communicate silently when in group settings. A squeeze of the hand or a wink from across the room will remind them of your love.
• Share your life's dreams before going to sleep. Fall asleep thinking of your future together.
