Count your blessings.

A good habit to get into is make a list everyday of ten things you are thankful for. It doesn't have to be a major list everyday and the items can be simple and easy. Take for example, "I am thankful for the warm water in my shower" or "I am thankful that my beautiful son comes to see me when he wakes up in the mornings" These are simple little statements but they make a lasting impression on the way you feel. Start doing this everyday even if it is in your mind and soon you might just find your days are better than you think. Even the bad ones will seem better when you realize that you have something to be thankful for.

Is romance the last thing on your to do list.

When you plan out your day where does time for romance fall? If you are like most other people you put it at the end of the day. Think about this how many of you get everything done you want to everyday? I know that I get less done each day then I plan on at the start of the day. You know how it goes, thing take longer then you think or situations arise the pushes meetings or events back. The list of obstacles goes on and on and then never stop. Thusly most people that put romance at the end of their day, find themselves with little or not energy left for romance, love and sex. I have heard in many financial planning that you should pay yourself first when dealing with your money. Why not put our romance first or give it attention first. How you ask might we do this, not many of us can stop in the middle of the day to be romantic or sexual with our partner. We have jobs, kids, and a load of other items that would make this a little hard for the average couple. We have to set a time, after the kids are in bed, and before we get tired to let our love flow. This might seem a little crazy because most of us want to enjoy each other then fall asleep. Well with this way of approaching romance, then you have time for other things after you get romance into your relationship. Try it, and see how it works for you. Bump your romance time up in front of other things and see what happens you might just find that putting your romance first makes everything else a little better.

Total romantic thing to drink - Sangria

Sangria is a wine punch that originated in Spain. It combines fruit that has been soaking in a wine to where the acidity taste of the fruit is transferred into the wine. While the alcohol taste is their it is almost covered up by the fruit taste. This is a great wine for sipping on late nights or at cordial events on hot summer days. Some sangria has added carbonation to give it a more zesty flavor. The possibilities of combinations are unlimited as you can add you own choices to the concoction to give it just the right flavors. Peaches, apples, kiwi, melon, oranges, are just a few of the many fruits I have seen in this flavorful wine. Sangria is a great choice if you don't like the dry taste of most wines as it give you a more youthful feeling while consuming it. Pick up a bottle on the way home tonight and then sit back and pour both of you a glass and enjoy the rest of your night.

Keep an on going wish lists

Christmas is past and gone with it are the thoughts of purchasing presents for your beloved. Not so true, their are several more holiday in which gifts are usually exchanged. Valentines Day is just around the corner, birthdays, anniversaries, and so forth are just a sample of holidays that we purchase gifts for, plus sometimes we just want to buy the person we love a little trinket to show them we are thinking about them. To help with this process both of you should keep a wish list available for your partner to be able to view anytime they wish. Maybe you could make a special file on your computer or even keep a shared document available for the two of you both to get into and change the list as needed (Google documents allows this feature). When you see something you would like to have go ahead and put it on the list. This way when you partner is getting ready to purchase a gift for you, what ever the occasion they will have a list available without having to ask you that dreaded question, "What would you like for our/your..." Not only do you get what you want but they can also surprise you without your input. Make sure to keep the list updated regularly so you don't get things you have already purchased or decided you didn't really want. This will make all your holiday even more special plus help with the frustration of your mate trying to find something to purchase for you.

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.

Romance Game

Here is a simple game of romance. Take turns telling each other what you feel is romantic. Be it places to go, or just things to do together. Start out slow maybe saying "I think the most romantic place in the world is...." Then the next person says their feelings on the subject. Elaborate on each output and tell why you thing it would be romantic. This is a great way to get to know your partner better. You would think you would only have to play this game once. Well I am here to tell you, that you should make a point to play it at least a couple of times a year. People change and as we get older so do our needs and wants. So at 18 I might think making love on the beach would be the best thing ever. Now that I am old I think about the sand and where it would end up. Nothing is set in stone, make notes but use a pencil as the changes happen.
