When a recession starts to sting and we have to begin watching over the pennies it's impressive how resourceful we can be. Particularly when it comes to loving couples who want to express their appreciation for each other with remarkable romantic gestures.
Affectionate gestures are typically affiliated with spending money, commonly the amount is used to measure the seriousness of the gesture. But do you really need to say it with an expensive meal, a surprise trip to an exotic location or a shining piece of jewelry?
In a sincerely loving relationship none of these things will in reality make that much of a difference, if they do then there's something wrong.
However, it's still nice to go out of your way and do something really specialised for your loved one aside from the day to day small things.
So when presented with a situation where you need to preserve money how to you 'say it with..' and not hazard sleepless nights over the financial ramifications?
The truth is that it is viable to spoil that special person in your life without some luxurious gesture that you can't afford. In fact by thinking a bit creatively and factoring money out of the equation you can actually go that bit further and really wow them with just being the someone they fell in love with.
When it comes to love and romance some of the top-grade things in life really are free, and one of those things that everybody appreciates is a cozy, loosening massage. Regardless of how stress full or tension free your life may be a massage is always a welcome gesture.
People pay big bucks to go to pricey wellness health spas to relax and unwind with a soothing massage so why not make that gesture yourself and offer that tension respite to your loved one instead of an overpriced meal or sparkling diamond?
If you're going to be staying in and entertaining yourselves while times are challenging you may as well relish it as much as possible - who knows possibly it will catch on and the money you save can go toward something that will make a larger positive affect on both of your lives.
Your loved one didn't fall in love with you because of what you purchased for them or did for them with money - if they did then it's not love. They love you for being you and vice versa. Hence why not show them in a genuinely affectionate and credit crunch friendly way. Say it with a massage!
