Romance doesn't have a specific time.

When we think of romance we usually think about it being in the evening. Going out to dinner, movies, moon lit walks figure into the romance equation the most. However romance should be a all day occurrence. It should start the moment you get up. The way you greet your partner in the morning should be one that says I am glad to see you. Playful touches throughout the day are excellent ways to build romance. Kissing I feel is an overlook area that can be romantic all day. Plan romantic adventures starting in the morning. Get up and go biking together or have breakfast on the porch. These little things can make your life hit the romance jackpot. Never forget romance doesn't just happen, you get out of it what you put into it. So, don't just wait around and hope romance finds you give your partner a reason to be romantic, back.

Turn down the lights.

We are contently hit by light, everywhere we go those florescent bulbs are beaming down on us. WE spend most of our day in them at work, shopping, school, the list goes on and on. Now I understand that they are making the switch to incandescent bulbs that are better for the environment but they still give out bright light. I want to suggest getting lower wattage bulbs for your house or getting fixtures that allow you to dim the lights. You know I never ever heard anyone walk into a grocery store and say wow this lighting is romantic.

Our house is suppose to be a sanctuary from our daily endeavors. So why should be have bright lights staring us in the face there? The lighting at home should be soft and comforting. Now I understand at time you need brighter lights, say for instance studying, or cooking, but for the most part you don't at home. Especially in your bedroom the light needs to be romantic. So find out what level of lighting you partner and you enjoy and replace the bulbs in the areas you might find yourself snuggling in. A soft light might lead to a little more intimacy, just think about it. Snuggling on the couch with some dim lights, sounds inviting doesn't it.

This is probably the only time anyone will tell you not to be bright! So take advantage of it and dim out.
