#4. Don’t stop motivating each other

When was the last time you motivated your spouse to cultivate their hobbies, like enrolling for a music or dance class or taking up a sport? Don’t remember? Well, this year make sure you encourage them to learn or do something new. They will definitely respect you, and love you a little more for all your motivation and support.

#5. Don’t spend ‘quality-time’ with gadgets

Gadgets are a necessary evil these days, but at least don’t make them your life. Else your spouse will become no less than a stranger for you. Try to spend quality time with each other and make every moment count. Switch off your phones and laptops for some time to give each other undivided attention. Don’t let gadgets overpower your life.

#6. Don’t buy unnecessary stuff

Take a look around your house and you will spot many objects which you both bought just because they were on sale or looked pretty. Or, you simply picked them because one of your friends had the same. So, this year, only buy things when necessary, not otherwise. Don’t turn your house into a museum.

Even if you have the busiest of days at your office, try to keep the romance alive. Don’t let that spark die in the hustle-bustle of life. Surprise each other with gifts or take them for candlelight dinners. Plan a weekend getaway or simply say those three magical words, 'I Love You’ with a rose. Do something that appeals to your partner and expresses your love for them.
