Many people think that to have romance in your relationship, you have to have a lot of money but these romantic ideas and tips prove that romance can be free. Here are some romance ideas to help you bring back the spark in your relationship:

• Picnic in the Park. Pack your favorite foods, a blanket, radio, and a bottle of wine or a favorite beverage and enjoy time together outdoors. If you enjoy a game of frisbee or other sports, bring the activities along and just spend time enjoying one another.
• Schedule a massage night. Put the kids to bed, turn off the television, and light the candles. Play soft, relaxing music, and give one another a massage. It doesn’t have to lead to more physical intimacy- but it just might!
• Prepare a candle-lit dinner at home. If the budget doesn’t allow for a fancy restaurant dinner as frequently as you’d like, prepare a menu and both partners can participate in preparing the meal. Sitting down together at a candle-lit table at home is just as enjoyable as going out, and it doesn’t cost anymore than your normal meal for the evening.
• Reconnect with activities you both enjoy. While going rollerblading in the park or playing tennis may not seem overly romantic at first, the fact that you are making time for one another again will surely spark the romantic side of each of you. Relationships tend to lose their spark when couples don’t spend enough time together. Sometimes it’s not about what you’re doing, just that you’re doing it together and the connection you feel with your partner will go a long way to bring back the intimacy.

Little things go a long way to let your partner know that you’re thinking about them and love them. Pick some wild flowers or flowers from the garden and surprise her with them. Send a love note in the lunch box to work. Small things that you may not even think about, or think seem so trivial; really make it obvious to your partner that you are committed to strengthening your relationship. Even relationships that seem perfect can use a little something extra every now and then. Don’t forget to sign up for our free e-book packed with more romantic ideas and tips.
