Original Text
Every Day Beats Special Days.
We often think of romance as special days of celebration and special dates. We think that the perfect confession, the perfect proposal, or the perfect wedding day are the most important parts of a relationship. But guess what? As important as these special days are, they are nowhere near as important as the daily kindnesses that you show each other. If you are kind to each other all the time, every day can be as sweet as your honeymoon. Right now, think about several things that you could do to make your relationship a little bit more special. Perhaps, you could send a romantic text to your other half, give them a drink they like without being asked, or buy them something small but unexpected. It really doesn't have to be a big thing. Remember, much of the time, it's the thought that counts, not the expense.
