Spending quality time together with your partner is an essential part of keeping a relationship working.
Different people and groups have varying views and opinions about what love truly is, but here’s the thing: people want to experience love. We all want to be loved and most of us want to love someone in return, and that’s the beauty of it.

The Complexity of Love
Love has been a favored topic of philosophers, poets, writers, artists, film-makers, and many others for generations. Different people and groups have varying views and opinions about what it truly is. Like for instance, Henry Charles Bukowski, a German-American poet, novelist, and short-story writer, defines love as “a kind of like when you see a fog in the morning, when you wake up before the sun comes out. It’s just a little while, and then it burns away… Love is a fog that burns with the first daylight of reality.”
It is a complex set of emotions, behaviors, and beliefs associated with strong feelings of affection for another person, and people experience love in its countless forms, some resonate with them and some leave them broken.
A teenager may imagine love to be joyful, calm, fulfilling, and probably butterflies in the stomach.
A child may see it as his/her mother preparing home-cooked meals for his/her father, or his/her father spoiling his/her mom with whatever she asked for.
For some people, love may be unique. Or intoxicating. Or addictive. Or fulfilling.
It can be an eternal friendship. A lifelong commitment. Days of both happiness and sadness.
Others believe that human beings are capable of loving more than one person simultaneously.
While some idolize it too much that it causes them to develop unrealistic expectations around it, which eventually kills them later.
Love has many kinds, but here’s one thing: people want to experience love. We all want to be loved and most of us want to love someone in return— and that’s the beauty of it. Despite its complications, the sacrifices and compromises of relationships, and the despair of heartache when it ends, there’s a reason love fuels songs, creates art, and builds families.
Regardless of its duration, choose to be grateful it graced your life and that you once felt completely hopeful and alive. Truth is, not everyone gets that chance.
Spicing Up Romantic Relationships
Many people seek love’s expression in a romantic relationship with a compatible partner (or partners). They see it as one of the most meaningful aspects of life, providing a source of deep fulfillment.

Spending Quality Time Together
Spending quality time together with your partner is an essential part of keeping a relationship working. You might have heard of the term “quality time,” but what does it really mean?
Quality time is any time that you and your partner spend together that makes you feel closer, more connected, and more in love than you were prior to that moment. It might be 30 minutes at home, or it might be days on a trip. The amount of time doesn’t always matter, as long as you do it often enough to sustain the relationship. Further, it can be spent anywhere while doing anything that you both enjoy: relaxing and have a good laugh about life, taking a walk in the neighborhood, drinking together at home and talk, going out of town, disconnecting from the devices and the Internet to plug into each other. As long as you are able to smile, feel good around each other, and connect in a positive way while doing whatever you do, it is quality time.
