5.Plan a vacation.

　　计划一次度假。

　　Sometimes we just need to get away and go on vacation with our partners. Family, too much work, stress in the relationship, worries about bills or kids can also affect the relationship. Find a romantic getaway even if you are taking the kids with you. Book things to do and try new things with your partner to bond. Drink some champagne, listen to soft music, and light some candles. Romance is the key to staying in love. Do everything in the vacation with your partner.

　　有时我们只是需要走出去，和爱人去度个假。家庭、过多的工作、各种关系上的压力、对账单或孩子的担忧也会影响到夫妻关系。即使带着孩子旅行也要找一个浪漫的度假地点，计划好要做的事，和另一半一起尝试新鲜事物来增进你们之间的关系。喝点香槟，听听轻音乐，再点上几支蜡烛，浪漫就是爱情保鲜的关键，在度假期间和你的爱人做一切你们想做的事。

　　6.Always remember your partner's birthday.

　　牢记爱人的生日。

　　There’s nothing more awful than your partner forgetting your birthday or you forgetting theirs. No matter how old we get we should always remember their birthday and they should do the same. Even if you can't buy them an expensive birthday gift, just saying happy birthday and acknowledging their birthday will make them feel good.

　　没有什么事比你的爱人忘记你的生日或你忘记他们的生日更糟糕了。无论我们多大年纪，都应该牢记他们的生日，他们也应如此。即使你不能给他们买一份贵重的生日礼物，只说一声“生日快乐”来表明你记得他们的生日也会让他们很开心的。

　　7.Renew your vows.

　　重申你们的誓言。

　　Relive the moment of when the two of you decided to become one and you can even make it better this time.

　　重新体验一次你们决定结为夫妻的那一刻，这一次你们能做的更好。

　　When renewing your vows, you don't have to have a big celebration with all the friends you know and your partner know and the whole lot of people like the first time. It can be a small family and close friends’ celebration. The important thing this time around is creating your own vows. Take the time and think about all the things you like about your partner. This will make both of you remember and think of why you love each other and the things that you like about each other.

　　重申誓言时，不必像第一次邀请所有亲朋好友那样隆重，仅限于家人和亲近朋友在一起庆祝就可以。这次的重点是说出你们自己的誓言，花时间想想你喜欢他/她的哪些方面。这会使你们两个人想起，并明白你们为什么爱对方，你们爱对方的哪一点。

　　8.Hygiene is important for romance.

　　想要浪漫，个人卫生很重要。

　　There is nothing worse than cuddling at nighttime with your partner only to find out they don't smell so good and then the moment is ruined.

　　没有什么比晚上和爱人依偎在一起却发现他们身上味道不好更糟糕了，美好的夜晚都被毁掉了。

　　9.Write love letters.

　　写情书。

　　This is something we, both women and men, have completely forgotten about. Don't we love those romantic movies about a letter such as message in a bottle? Why can't we have our own fairy tales? Well we might not have a fairy tale life but we can have our own romantic story.

　　这件事我们(无论男女)都已经完全忘掉了。难道我们不喜欢那些把信(比如留言)装在瓶子里的爱情影片吗?为什么我们不能拥有自己的童话故事?可能我们没有童话里的生活，但我们可以有自己的浪漫故事。

　　Sit down and think about all the things you like about your husband or wife, think about what made you fall in love with him or her and write it down in a piece of paper, then think about something you want to say to your love one. If this is difficult, think if it was your very last day on this earth or last day you were going to see them what did you want them to know?

　　你要坐下来，想一想你的丈夫或妻子所有吸引你的地方，想一想是什么使你爱上他/她，把这些写在纸上，然后想想你想对你的挚爱说的话。如果这对你来说有点困难，那你就假设如果这是你的最后一天或者你能见到他们的最后一天，你想让他们知道什么呢?
