Romantic Ornaments.

One of the nicest things you can give your lover each year is a wonderful ornament that means something. You can select a specific thing like snowmen or angels and every year make this the first present you give them each year. Picture ornaments are a great ideas if you have children then way you can see how much they have grown each year. Another great idea is to find ornaments that are attached to a memory. Say for instance this summer you took a wonderful trip to Hawaii then a palm tree ornament might make a lasting memento of your trip. Another great thing to celebrate is having a baby, so mom or dad to be ornaments will always remind you of the year of pregnancy. No matte what type of ornament you are looking for today with the internet you are bound to find what you are looking for. You could even pick up a little ornament that would hold another little gift like an engagement ring or tickets to a romantic destination. You can be creative as you wish with this and no matter how you go about it your partner will know how much you love them, and each year you get to relive this gifts as you pull them out for another Christmas season.

What do YOU sleep it?

Recently we surveyed our readers to see what they wore to bed. An outstanding 44 percent stated that they wear nothing to bed at all. Which gives me great hope that the bedrooms of our readers are not just used for sleeping. Flannel PJ’s were wore by 22%of our viewers and the other 33 percent either wore just their underwear, something sexy, or shorts and a T-shirt. Looking at this I would say that the viewers of our blog are pretty well versed in bedroom antics. Maybe we need to focus more post on romantic things that happen in the bedroom?

Be Romantic Stock up on Cold and Flu Supplies

The season is upon us that live in colder climates. Cold and Flu season can hit you and your partner hard at anytime. You can do your best to prevent it from sidelining the two of you but chances are at some point and time you will have to confront it. Nothing says that you care about someone more then when you are prepared for them being sick. The last thing you want to do is to have to run out to a busy store at this time of year and spend a half hour to an hour waiting in line, to get some cold and flu supplies. Go through your cabinets and look for outdated remedies, as well as stuff that is absent from your cabinet. Then make a store run to pick up your favorite remedies to restock your medicine cabinet. Then the first time your partner is under the weather, you can treat them quickly and snuggle with them instead of running all over town standing in busy stores. Doing this can also save you money to as it affords you the luxury of finding coupons or special deals on the products you use. When you run out at the last minute the last thing you are looking for is you coupons or any special deals, you just want to get what you need a get home. If you have any children in your house you should do the same thing for them, to be prepared. Sure we all want to think about candle lit dinners when we think of romance but romance starts with care and concern for someone special and comforting someone that is ill will make you look like a saint in their eyes.

Be Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving! Today of all days is a perfect day to be thankful for all the good things in your life, especially your partner. Make sure today to make them feel special, put a little more love into your kisses. If you don't on a regular basis (which you should) make them see how important they are to you. Be considerate, ask to help them out, pick out a movie they want to see for later in the evening, to show them your feelings. Don't skip the little things, like take their plate to the kitchen for them, ask them if they would like a drink and then go get it, or even let them take a nap if they desire. So much can be said for these little considerate things. On this great day of family dinners, football, and parades make sure to be thankful for the things that are really important on this day. Have a great day and appreciate the people around you as you watch the turkey getting carved.

A great way for both of your to lose weight!

Okay what does losing weight have to do with being romantic. Well you can make anything romantic and anything that improves the way you feel about yourself will help with the way you feel about romance. When both of you team up to make an effort to lose weight you become a team, just like you did when you decided to have a relationship. What I want you to do is become a support team for each other. Every time you feel like getting a little snack I want you to start making out with your partner instead, no not just a quick kiss. We need something to get your mind off the fact it thinks in needs a snack. Wrap your arms around your partner and really get into the kiss, hopefully the kiss will be sweet enough to cure that sweet tooth. If after the kiss you feel a little frisky then go make love it will burn calories and will make you feel great. There are several other ways the two of you can help each other out in the battle to lose weight. When you get up in the morning both of you stand together naked in front of a mirror and tell each other how great you look, this would fall under the positive reinforcement. You can also buy sexy things to wear as a reward for sticking to your weight loss efforts. Find exercises that you can do together and laugh. Most people don't know it but laughing burns more calories then you might think. By replacing your need to snack and looking at each other bodies more often you will start to get in better shape faster then you think.

Get your lists ready.

A good thing to do for each other at this time of year is to make a christmas list for each other. I am not talking about a list of specific things that you want but a list of several things you would like to do in your future. Things you would like to do around the holidays or traditions you would like to start. Maybe you would love to take a trip on day on Christmas to the Mexico or maybe you would love to start collecting special holiday ornaments. Jot down all the little things you think would make the holidays special, maybe watching a specific movie each year around the holidays or making a certain kind of cookie only at this time of year. Make sure you can carry any traditions into the future for when you have children or your partner becomes your spouse. This is a way to kinda play house if your not already married or in a serious relationship. It might feel funny but you might be amazed somewhere down the road when you partner remembers something you said on that day and presents you with tickets to your dream destination or brings home a special ornament for you Christmas tree you have only dreamt about. Dreaming is a large part of your relationship as long as you do it together.

Make a delicious desert for your Thanksgiving dinner

Sure we all need to watch our weight but at Thanksgiving everyone needs to try a little of the sweet stuff. Whipping up a tasty treat will have your partner standing in amazement of your talents as they bite into this tasty treat, who's instructions are below. Now you don't have to make this exact item shown above but make something that will make everyone's mouth water. This is great for when everyone is sitting around watching football or playing games. We all know that whatever you make will have way to many calories in it, but think of it this way how are you going to work all those calories off later in the evening? Sound inviting doesn't it. You will also get a big feeling of accomplishment as you pull off this desert masterpiece and the Thanksgiving table is the perfect place to display your work of art, so that your sweetheart and see how talented you are. You can find the turtle pumpkin pie (pictured above) recipe by clicking on the title of this post.

2 pkg. (3.4 oz. each) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding

1 cup cold milk

1 cup canned pumpkin

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided

A little surprise that says I want you!

As we near the holidays there will be lots of opportunities that will give you a chance to tell your partner that you want them, when they can't respond. Call it teasing, or maybe foreplay but one thing it does do is let your partner know that you want them and they will have to wait. You can do this at any function that you both are attending, and great times are during family gathers that include Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. All you have to do is a quick grab, pinch or squeeze that cannot be detected by others at the function. Maybe you squeeze your partners butt as you waiting for the door to be answered. You out grab their crotch under the table at dinner. Anything that is suggestive will do. After you do what ever you decide to get your partners motor running you will see it in their eye. They might get mad at you at first but believe me as long as no one else sees it they will be anxious to get home. Words of warning be discreet and it has to be quick and to the point, don't be surprised if a retaliation grab might come later. Remember this is good fun and it will be something to talk about for years to come. This might give new meaning to the term "Happy Holidays"

Opening Doors

One of the lost art of chivalry is opening doors for others. You should always open the door for you partner no matter where you are going. A good way to practice this is to start opening doors for everyone. It is just polite and will make you look good in everyones eyes. Not only will you look like a saint in the persons eyes you are opening the door for but all the other people who see it will think you are a well mannered person. Once I opened the car door for my wife and a women pulled up beside us and thanked me for keeping romance alive. It made me feel so good that day that I have made it a point to do it from now on. Opening doors might not get you in the building faster but it will give you lots of points with the person you love.

Worst Pick up lines ever!! (Click this title for more)

Guys we need to cut out the corny pick up lines. Never have I heard of a one-line opening that worked well. Especially the ones that jump straight into “I want to have sex with you” Do yourself and all the ladies out there a favor and introduce yourself and tell them you would like a chance to get to know them. If you get a phone number or some conversation congratulations you are doing wonderful. These corny pick up lines only get you punched or kicked in the groin so if you’re into the abuse thing here you go. Check out the link attached to the title of this post for some of the worst all time pick up lines in the history of modern dating. Below is in my opinion one of the worst of the worst.

“I may not be a Flintstone, but I can sure make your bed rock” Scary that someone would use that.

Take your Vitamins

We all understand that vitamins are good for us. However, do you realize that they are important to a vital sex life also. Keeping health is essential for you to remain sexual active but some specific vitamins help directly with your sex life.

Vitamin A - Lack of this vitamin will decrease you sex hormones

Vitamin B-1 - This vitamin helps with your energy without it fatigue sets in and we all know what fatigue does for our sex lives.

Vitamin B-3 (Niacin) - Aids in the functions of sex hormones and your stress reducing hormones. and less stress means a better chance at making love.

Vitamin C - This vitamin helps with the absorption of iron into the blood this helps the blood carry oxygen and other needed things to the organs. With a good blood flow to the organs, you won't need that Viagra.

You can get most of these vitamins through a well balanced diet, or you can pick up the specific supplements at any place that sells vitamins.

Have your own little Thanksgiving for the two of you.

If your like us, you spend your Thanksgiving going from one partners parents to the next. Eating and roaming the country side. While I am not in the least bit saying you should skip these family gatherings, I am suggesting you make your own little Thanksgiving dinner on the night before or after. Pick on of the nights and make a little dinner for the two of you, heck you can even use left overs if you brought some home. You could also make a specific dish for the two of you to enjoy this time of year. Sit around and tell each other why you are thankful for their being in your life and don't just say the big things, use the little ones to show how much you value them. Things like "I am so thankful when you get up a little earlier to let me sleep in" or "I am thankful that you pushed me to apply for my new job" Spread them out through out the whole day and retrace the entire year. Sure being thankful shouldn't happen just once a year but when the word is in the title of the day you can't help but make it a focal point.

Give a late night call.

Have you ever laid awake thinking about the person you love. Well next time you are sitting their wondering about them, give them a little call. Pick up your phone call them and tell them you were thinking about them and just wanted to call and say Hi. Don't do this if you know they have to get up early the next day. Most likely they will feel great that you called and a smile will grace their face. This works great if you are on a business trip or away from home for a long period of time. Springing a call on a person at the spur of the moment tells them you really care and makes them realize that your mind is on them. You can even do this when you are in the same house if one of you stays up later then the other pick up your phone and call them just to tell them you love them. You will most likely get extra snuggles once you get into bed with them. Don't keep them on the phone long let them get back to sleep and there is a good chance they will dream about you.

How often do you say "I Love You"

"I Love You" the three little words that say so much. The question lies in do you use it to little or too much? I hear both sides on this question and it seem like if one partner says they use it to much the other says that they use it to little. We have a sort of "I Love You" war going on here and both sides are not wrong or right. The trick is to find a balance a middle ground that can make both sides happy. Give a little, take a little is they way we find the exact formula. We need to use the I love you sparingly, it is not just for every reason in the world, if you partner takes out the trash or does their normal chores you don't have to shower them with kisses and I love you's . On the other side of the ball don't respond to a candle lit dinner that includes your favorite dishes with "Thanks, that was good" is not an appropriate response for what that partner has done for you. Think about the times you need to say "I Love You" and don't use it out. It is a special statement that carries so much weight but used wrongly it just seems diluted.

Who is the most romantic in your relationship.

Our readers seem to be the dominant partner as to who is the most romantic. 66% of your readers consider themselves as the most romantic in their relationship. This tells me that they are on the net looking for more ways to be romantic. For those of us that feel romance is very important the quest never ends. Because there is no one thing that will always be romantic at all the time. The only advice I can give you on this topic is keep it up, I am proud of your.

Please send us your question we could really use some suggestions on thing to discuss. Send them to thecouplesspot@gmail.com

A quote from ME!!!

"Keep pushing romance to the back of your relationship, and that is where you will soon find yourself. At the end of your relationship" Zob Alex

So many people think that romance is something that isn't important and they are foolish. Romance is the glue that holds our relationships together, without it we just become roomates.

Drive them wild with their favorite.

Want to really drive the person you care about wild. First thing you need to do is find a cologne or perfume that they absolutely love. Then when ever you are with them put a little on. Sure when you are going out together they will expect it but do it other times when they least expect it. Like right before getting into bed, or before you start watching a movie at home together. Don't over due it, just a little will do the trick. Put some on when you know the two of you are going to be close, like when the two of your are doing the laundry or doing other house work together. Another romantic thing to do is put a dab on their pillow when they are going to go to bed before you. They might not be able to sleep and will for some reason keep thinking of you. Put a little hint of the smell in their car before they leave for work or better yet do it while they are at work then they will smell your scent all the way home. The important thing here is to get them thinking about you and letting them know that you are thinking about them. If you try any of these suggestions let me know how they work out. I would love to hear your stories, email them to me a thecouplesspot@gmail.com

Another Great Romantic Movie

Adding another great romantic movie to your collection is a great idea. One of my favorites (as always with a little comedy) is "50 first dates". Staring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore it is a story about a young lady that loses her memory everyday so the suitor Adam Sandler has to get her to fall in love with him each and every day. It is a hilarious romp through some beautiful scenery. Don't miss this one it will make you laugh and cry and then laugh some more.

Smiling Bob

Don't get me wrong I am not promoting enyzte and I am not getting a kick back from them but it that are interested give me a call. I am posting about the satisfaction you get from really great sex. I know that when I get up after a night of really great love making, I have a goofy smile on my face like Bob does. I feel better, I sleep better, and I am in a great mood. This is why it is hard for me to understand why people in a monogamous relationship don't have sex more often. The health benefits of sex have long been touted and no one questions it the euphoric state is amazing that sex brings with it. Now throw in the fact that you really love and care about your partner and it seems like this is the end all cure for health and relationship problems. Yet so many people struggle to find the happy medium for intimacy in their relationship. Take my advice and error on the side of intimacy, not only does it make you feel great it makes you feel loved and wanted in your long term relationships. Now turn off the game a little early and do your workout at an early time of the day, I want to see more smiling Bobs and Bobettes out there.

Don't let your fingernails ruin a good thing.

We all know that our hygiene is very important to our romantic life. Few of us really take a look at our fingernails in this process. We don't think about things like holding hands or gently scratching someones back until it is to late. Those unkept nails can do damage to your date or partner if they have rough edges on them. It might feel like you are cutting them with a knife if left an attended. I know manicures are expensive and for the guys not the most masculine of things to do but they are well worth the money. If your budget is tight then take care of them yourself but make sure to test them on yourself before you use them on someone else. Run you nails down your arm to make sure you have left know snags or jagged edges. We might think this isn't that big of deal but if you get to have any sexual relations then those jagged edges can leave your partner in a very painful state. Our hands usually help initiate our sexual acts and leaving cuts on your partners privates isn't the way to start a great night of love making. Now maybe you are not in a relationship or dating anyone right now, but your nails might be sending the wrong message as people notice the littlest of things when sizing people up for potential mates. Your unkept fingernails might say to someone that this person isn't into keeping up on their appearance so what will the be like once we get into a relationship. Don't let your fingernails harm or ruin a good relationship keep care of them on a regular basis.

How about a bite!

Currently with the vampire craze that Twilight has created, vampires are again high on the romantic chart. Not saying that you should be biting your partner, but if they are fascinated with the vampires then a little nibbling might turn them on. Light biting on the neck or ear lobes have always been a romantic turn on for a lot of people. Maybe even putting on a black cape would create a romantic mood in your bedroom. Get tickets to the new Twilight movie getting ready to come and the give them to your partner in a little coffin box. You can take this vampire fetish to new heights. Maybe a little research on the movie would give you more insight to things that your partner might find romantic about it. Although this vampire fascination might not be your cup of tea, don't let it deter using it to improve the romance in your life.

These are some of my most romantic things.

In response to our question of the most romantic things to do, we got just votes on three of our suggestions all getting the same amount of votes were Bubble Bath, Walk on the Beach and Weekend Getaways. All threes are very romantic and should make anyone happy to do. We all know that anything can be romantic if you are with the right person, so don’t hold yourself to what you read here. Find your own romantic thing and let us know all about it. You can email your ideas to romanticantics@gmail.com

The Health Benefits of Romance

When romance is a part of your daily life, it has a calming effect that help benefit your overall health, not to mention your relationship. Health and relationships seem to go hand in hand. When things are going well in your relationship it seems to help your overall health. The reasons for this can be different in each and every relationship, but there do seem to be some similarities. For starters you eliminate some of the big stress causers in you life. Being at odds with your partner over relationship concerns can really make you physically ill. Ask someone that is having relationship problems and you will hear things like "My stomach just aches", "I have such a headache" or even "My heart is breaking" When your life is in shambles you health usually follows suit, because you are not at your best to fight off the sickness. Most people without romance in their lives tend not to work out as much or worry about what they are eating. Heck you lucky if they eat at all, when things are at their worst. When the romance fails we tend to take a lesser stance on taking care of ourselves. Keeping your romance strong can reverse all the things we have talked about earlier, because we are doing it for the relationship as well as ourselves. We want to take care of ourselves because we feel good in the relationship we are in and we don't want to lose that. Not that you can control the level of romance in your relationship but you can put your best forward. Usually if you put the work into the relationship you will get the romance out of it.

Join a League!

Relationships are funny things especially at the start. You have to feel your way around to see when and where to take big steps. Things like moving in together or purchasing large items are huge steps as far as relationships go. Maybe you aren't ready for that type of big step yet, what can you do to make a commetment but not dive head first into this realtionship. My suggestion is to join some sort of league. Be it bowling, gold, darts, softball, etc. there are endless possibilities. Now you might wonder why this is reat for you relationship, and the reason is that it shows you are looking at your relationship as a continueing thing. You are showing that you are looking towards the future with this person, without making a hard to reverse step. If things don't work out it is usually not that difficult to get out of one of these leagues. Another great benifit to joining leagues for a couple is you meet other out going couples that you might be able to become friends with. Couples that become friends are a great addition to your relationship as you will have others to enjoy things like cookouts, parties or eveneings out with. The friends you bring into your relationship at the start are either his or hers, but these new friends are "OUR" friends and are not partial to either of you. This can be a big help if you might have troubles down the line. Look through your local paper and the next time you see an advertisement asking for league members ask your partner if they would like to join, it might just be great for your relationship.

Singing in the shower!

Nothing can brighten you morning then cutting loose with a great song in the shower. Not only will this help you get your day off to a good start but it might just help anyone that hears you. Okay so maybe your not the best singer, but hearing you in a good mood and having fun will entice others to do the same thing. Think of the smiles you will put on your partners face as they hear you tyring to sing a song in the shower. It might just make their day. By singing you create a magic wonderful place in the shower and who knows maybe you might just get some company to sing a duet with you. Some great songs for singing in the shower are "Splish Splash", "I love to feel the rain in the summer time", and "Singing in the rain" just to mention a few.

Make your kisses refreshing!

The thing people complain most about with kissing is bad breath. They say it is one of the biggest turn offs when kissing someone, even somebody they have been in a relationship with for a long time. Well it is an easy fix to correct this and with a little practice you won't have to worry about it ever again. There are several things on the market to help you in your quest for kissable breath. Items such as gum, breath mints, mouthwash, and the list goes on and on. Now all you have to do is pick which one of them you prefer and decide which one works the best. Don't forget to pick a flavor your partner enjoys also. Spearmint gum is one of my favorites, with cinnamon a close second. You have a great deal of flavors to choose from and for added effects I suggest picking a different one as many times as you can. Let your partner wonder what kind of kiss they will be getting today, it might just make them kiss you more often. While brushing your teeth is the best defense against bad breath, these other items will help when you can whip out your toothbrush and start cleaning. This can even be more exciting if your going for a little more passionate kissing. Flavors such as cinnamon, and wintergreen can give a little tingle if you happen to use your tongue as well. With all this said make sure to have these items on you all the time because at any given time your lips might be called to duty and you don't what nasty breath to slow things down.

Dance the night away.

I really don't hear many people talk about dancing anymore. Back when I was just out of high school in the late 80's people would make it a point to go out dancing. Now a days I don't hear any of these younger people talk about dancing. Dancing can be very romantic no matter where it is performed. Turn on some music at home and ask you partner to dance, I don't care if it is a slow dance or just getting up to flop around the house. Don't tell your partner but it is exercise also. I remember spending all night a the local bar dancing the night away. I would get up the next morning and be soar and I was in pretty good shape. Dancing in some cultures is part of the mating ritual and some believe that it is a form of foreplay, just watch the tango and tell me it is not. On the romantic side dancing gives you a chance to get close to your partner and get their blood pumping and we all know how good that is for romance. There are so many upsides to dancing that maybe it should be more a part of our culture. Enjoy the clip at the top of this post for a eighties band Van Halen and next time you get a chance, Dance the Night Away!

Sexy Phone Call

Something you can do to totally drive you partner wild is to give them a sexy call. I am not talking about calling them when they are away. I am talking about calling them when you both are home. Sometime when you are in opposite areas of the house dial up your sweety and tell them that if they meet you in the bedroom you have a surprise for them. Then rush to the bedroom strip naked and jump them when they enter the room. You could also use a text message to send them a list of what you want. The list could include things like, kiss my neck, take my underwear off using only your teeth, or just plain a simple, come f**k me. You might want to time them to see how fast they get to the other room. If you want spontaneity in your life this is one way to do it. Don't be shy and make sure not to do it during time when it would be impossible, such as during Thanksgiving Dinner.
