Most of us women harbour the idea of a romantic married life. Of course, we are well aware of the mendacity of life, but that doesn't stop of us from dreaming, right? Well, I harboured such dreams too. Although, I wouldn't call myself a hardcore romantic, but the idea of going on beautiful dates and love-filled vacations is just too tempting to ignore. However, once I tied the knot--reality struck me like a bolt of lightning.

Everything that I was hoping would happen, really didn't. Instead, my husband and I lived like rats (not literally of course). We ran the rat race called life, stuck between traffic jams, office, deadlines, and responsibilities to make time for each other. And soon enough, the spark dimmed.

An Advice That Changed Everything

I will not lie when I say that the lack of romance left me heartbroken. I stopped trying to jazz up my relationship and it reflected on the way how I dressed. I stopped paying attention to what I was wearing, how I did my hair, and broke all my ties with make-up. Of course, it didn't make the situation any better. However, one day a friend of mine convinced me to wear a little make-up and changed my hairstyle a bit. I didn't think much of it, until I saw my husband's reaction that night.

Appearances Matter, Believe Me

My husband was overjoyed to see me all dolled up. In fact, we went out for a spur-of-the-moment date that night. And that, my friends, taught me something very important: appearances matter. Now, some of you may call this way of jazzing up a relationship shallow and superficial--but it works. At least it did for me. And to come to think of it, it's really not a cardinal sin. It's a fact that people feel attracted towards appealing appearances but this shouldn't be the basis of any relationship. For a couple to live a life together, it's imperative that they accept each other the way they are. But, spicing things up in a relationship is something you can't ignore.

Looking Good Makes YOU Feel Good

To be honest, it's not just about creating an impression or making someone happy. Dressing up well and looking presentable makes you feel good and I realized it only after a few genuine compliments came my way. When I looked a little glamorous, I felt happy. And that made me feel confident. I was more sure of things and took control of my relationship. Maybe it was not just about the exterior, but a change in personality and attitude that made my husband see me in a different light. Whatever it was, but it sure did spice things up.
