MADE TO LOVE
1 . VISIT A NURSING HOME AND SPEND TIME WITH THE ELDERLY . If you pay attention , spending time with the elderly can provide some additional wisdom and guidance that may be necessary to grow your relationship . Find a local nursing home or assisted living residence and check-in to their community room with your mate . Quality time reminiscing over old photos and listening to throwback music can quickly and authentically form a bond , creating lasting memories with you two and the community right in your backyard .
2 . VOLUNTEER TOGETHER AT A SOUP KITCHEN . Serving the underserved with your partner can give your relationship a great sense of joy . If you all don ’ t wish to physically go to a soup kitchen , prepare a meal at home , wrap it up in foil and take it to go directly to a homeless person in your area , together . This can serve as a ripple effect that not only helps someone else but can ground your relationship . The gratitude you feel when you ’ ve served together can be a feeling you both won ’ t forget . Looking for a place to feed those in need ? Hashtag Lunch Bag is a popular national movement that empowers communities through organized acts of love .
3 . DRESS UP AND GO TO A CHARITY GALA . There are lots of charitable causes and organizations that host fundraising galas and socials that can serve as an amazing date . Pick a cause , any cause that resonate with both you and your partner . Find out when their next big fundraising gala is and mark it on your calendar as a romantic evening . This gives you an opportunity to connect with new people who support the same philanthropic cause you all care about . Between the auctions , live music and occasional themed attire , you are guaranteed to have a good time for a good cause while dressing up ! If you ’ re
in Chicago , bring your hunny and dance the night away at the Sneaker Ball , an annual black-tie event created to celebrate and fundraise for Kicks 4 the City , a charitable program committed to providing shoes for homeless communities .
4 . CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSET AND DONATE GENTLY WORN CLOTHES TO THE GOODWILL . When relationships become seemingly stagnant , annoying , or boring , it may be time to clean your relationship state . If you live with your partner , physically clearing out the clutter around you can symbolize a committed effort to start fresh . Plan time together to pull items out that you rarely use with the intention of giving it away to another couple in need . While you ’ re in the process , challenge yourselves to give away something you actually each want to keep .
The Power of Reciprocity is real . When you freely put something out into the universal flow of your life , you are more likely to experience more of that thing . If you want more love from your mate , give it to him / her and others around you ! You will be surprised who you can change in the process ( even yourself ).
