Shopping together can be fun.

Most couples hate going shopping together. Can you see the images of one partner holding the bags while the other one tries on a hundred different outfits. Maybe its the other way around and one partner wants to go to the power tool store and spends hours looking a drills. The good thing about shopping is it can give the two of you some time out together. You usually have to have lunch out which is a good thing for the two of you to share. My suggestion for the other stuff that drives us nuts is to set time limits before you enter a store set a time limit. Mark you watches and the other person just has to bear it for that section of time. Then when the time is up you go to the other person store with the same time restraints. This way both of you get the same feelings and the same amount of time looking at what you want. Another option is to split up and then make it a game to find each other. Send clues via text messages to each other as to where you are, this can be a fun way to enjoy your shopping a little more. Lastly find some things that interest you both. Maybe a store that carries items for you home or on that carries intimate apparel that way you end on common ground. With a little work and imagination shopping can be fun for both parties.

Mondays are tough enough.

Monday morning for most people mean back to work blahs. Not many people are thinking about romance on Monday mornings when the alarm goes off. Well it is time for you to help out your partner shake those Monday morning blahs. Make sure they get their week off to a good start by strategically placing items to boost their feelings around. Maybe a little love note on the bathroom mirror. You could pack a special lunch for them writing I love you on a something inside. No matter what you do the point will be for them to take a little love along with them on the wonderful day we call Monday. You could even send them a text message at lunch letting them know that Monday is half over. Anything you can think of to get a little smile from them would work. Make Monday night an early date night or movie night something to spice it up a little so that you are looking forward to it rather than dreading it. Being romantic isn't always about both of you sometimes it is just about brightening someones Monday.
