August is Romance Month: Woo Your Partner and Celebrate Your Love
Why is August the National Romance Month?
That’s right! August is National Romance Month, and Romance Awareness Day is August 14th – exactly six months from Valentine’s Day. National Romance Month serves as a prompt to check in on your relationship; it’s also a reminder to celebrate love and intimacy with your partner throughout the year, not just on Valentine’s Day. The timing couldn’t be better as August is nestled between the winding down of summer vacations and activities and the wind-up to the Holiday season. It’s a moment of respite and the perfect month to focus on your relationship.
How to Observe National Romance Month
Use this time to take a pause in your busy life to appreciate your partner, show gratitude, and enjoy the closeness and companionship you have. Do this by making an effort to be more romantic and create special moments that will reaffirm your love for each other.

Top 5 Ways to Celebrate Romance Month
Bring Home a Bouquet of Gorgeous, Fresh Flowers
Flowers have a language all their own, as each stem bursts with symbolism. This August, send your partner a jaw-dropping bouquet of romantic blooms like alstroemeria, violets, lilies, lilacs, pink hydrangeas, orchids, carnations, larkspur, and roses. These are some of the most brilliant flowers with meaning linked to love, passion, desire, adoration, affection, dedication, support, devotion, gratitude, respect, and love.
See a Comedy Show
A comedy night is a fun, joyful, and exciting way to spend time together and enjoy a change of scenery. Laughing together is also a fantastic way to strengthen your connection and bond even further.
Create a Photo Book Together
Sitting down to create something meaningful is another way to further connect and bond with your partner. Reminisce on your life together, scroll through old photos, and choose the ones that speak to you most. It might be a simple selfie that brings out your partner’s eyes or a picture of the two of you on a big vacation that you will remember forever.
Do Something Adventurous
High adventure activities like parasailing, skydiving, scuba diving, white water rafting, or even riding an impressive rollercoaster are all chances to dominate your fears and strengthen the trust you have with your partner. With your significant other by your side, surely there is nothing you can’t accomplish.
Go to a Wine Tasting Event
Take your significant other on a wine tour to visit a few local wineries and vineyards, or if they prefer beer, map out the best local breweries. Sip the day away as you explore new flavors and delight your taste buds.
Stay Connected With Romantic Gestures
While big romantic gestures and date nights are lovely and special, sometimes it’s the little things you do daily that genuinely make your partner feel seen, heard, and loved. It doesn’t matter if you are in the honeymoon stage or have been married for over 40 years; make an effort each day to fill your relationship with romance.
Small Romantic Gestures that Make a BIG Impact:
Holding hands
Leaving love notes
Watching a movie together
Checking in with each other during the day
A daily “good morning” kiss
Saying “good night” every night
A shoulder rub
Flowers “just because”
MY FAIR LADY
