Romance Awareness Month is this month. Since the Summer season is coming to an end; why not set some time aside to do some special things with your significant other?
Romance Awareness Month
When I looked for information on how this month came about; I couldn’t find how it originated. But surprisingly, more people consider the summer months more romantic than Valentine’s Day. Since my birthday is Valentine’s Day; I don’t know if I agree with that. However, the Summer season is a time to plan activities outside, and what better month than August?
Whether you are in the early stages of a relationship or have been together for several years or longer; it’s important to make your partner feel special.
6 Ways to Celebrate Romance Awareness Month
