Romance Can Get Lost in the Life You Built

The longer two people are together, the easier it can become to build a life around each other
while slowly forgetting to build moments with each other.
 Conversations become schedules.  Evenings become routines.
 Romance gets postponed until there is more time, more energy, or fewer responsibilities. 

 The Everyday Romantic Playbook helps couples bring affection, anticipation, playfulness,
and meaningful time back into the life they already share.
 You do not need a perfect relationship, an unlimited budget, or an entirely different life.
 You only need a willingness to notice each other again.

Tammie & Michael - Married 40 years. Still choosing each other.

The Everyday Romantic began years ago as part of Tammie Clarke Gibbs’s original Recipes for Romance project. Now, after many years of marriage, Tammie and her husband Michael are bringing that message forward in a fuller, more practical Playbook for couples today.

This is not advice written from the sidelines. It grew from decades of shared life, ordinary routines, unexpected challenges, laughter, romance, and the continuing choice to make room for one another.
