routine

i think that is right. i thought of this so my bf and i are always into new things. in fact, every time we meet i change my style -hair, fashion sense, etc... so that he wont be bored. also, i always do something cheesy that i havent done before to come up like a cute and sweet surprise. so far the best was giving him 29 gifts each day for our 29 days together traveling.

For some, routine is very welcome. At work, you have to please the others and act accordingly. Mostly you are not yourself. Coming come, you are yourself, and have a specific routine that ground you. But every person feels and react differently. So, for those who need to get out of the routine, a special "get-out" can be planned once in a while. Once to a movie, or a restaurant, a 2 day night at a hotel, drive to a destination not know ahead of time. Just hop in the car and start driving. Stop in a place that you never stopped before. At a river, a new trail. or, fly to a foreign country for a week. Something that you never dreamt to go before.

Remembering it's value and worth to me, allows me to assure the routine monotony is not part of my relationship.

Invite them to do something different. Try out new things, like maybe some new foods, or some clothes that you never think to wear. Just try to be as unique as possible. When you see something starting to repeat itself, maybe try and say, "Lets try something different today." Always be on the lookout for repetition, because you're right, routine does kill a relationship. It might be weird at first trying out new stuff, but thats what life is. New stuff creates more experience for you and the other person. Oh and never try to repeat your first date. Always create a new idea for a first date because you don't want to get into the habit of creating a routine. :)
