Kiss outside your home!

Something that gets lost in the middle or relationships is the good night kiss. When you move in together or spend a lot of time at each others house, we all seem to move our kisses inside the house. My suggestion is the next time you have an enjoyable evening out you should kiss at the door as kind of an end to a great evening. Even if your are going to have more fun when you get inside, it is a nice statement and an innocent act that makes you think back to the first few times you were together. Think about how romantic it is to kiss under the stars on a warm summer evening, and I think you will definitely feel great about doing it.

Quite eating fast food and save the money for date nights.

Here in America most of us eat way to much fast food. It is easy and it tastes good but the terrible part is that it is expensive and is not at all healthy. Why don't the two of you as a couple make an effort to avoid it altogether. Make a commitment that when every you feel like grabbing a burger the both of you remain strong and make a grilled cheese or turkey sandwich at home. Then the money you would have spent eating something bad for you and put it in a jar marked, "Date Night" Continue doing this until you have enough in the jar to experience your favorite activity together. Heck you could even save for a trip if you are strong enough. Make a penalty also so that if you do go out and eat fast food you have to replace the money you spend from your jar. You will soon start thinking about just grabbing fast food all together. Not only will your body thank you but your can both thank each other when you are sitting on the beach somewhere special.

Wonderful nights of cool air.

It is getting towards that time where we live that the nights are cooling off. The temperature drops form the hot times during the day to become quite nippy in the dark hours. This is a prime time to open up the windows and enjoy the clear crispy night air. Provided you don't live in the middle of a huge city or near a lot of noise. This is a time to listen to the quite sounds of the night. Crickets chirping, the wind blowing and the owls calling are all part of the night symphony that awaits you. Not to mention the perfect snuggling weather and the smells of the night air. Combined with the fact your partner is near you and you are experiencing this together it allows for a bond to be formed. A bond that goes beyond love and beyond friendship to actually combining the two into a relationship.

Attend a wedding.

One of the best things you can do to renew your love for each other is attend a wedding. We always try to make excuses not to go sit through the long ceremony, however it can be refreshing and meaningful for the two of you. Seeing two other people in love will remind you how much you love each other. Plus it's a great way to have a night out without a huge expense. You get to dress up with each other and made do some dancing. The big point however is to realize how important love is. We sometimes forget in our daily life how we felt when we were the one pledging our love to each other or how special we felt with each other in the early days of our relationship. A wedding is sometimes just what the doctor ordered for an ill relationship. Plus they have cake.

Friday night flings

Friday starts the weekend for most people yet it is not the big night to go out. Saturday dominates the party night while friday comes in a distant second. You can use this to your advantage. Friday night is a great night to go out if you are wanting to talk and find out more about your love. Find places that don't have bands on fridays or that don't get hoppin until Saturday and spend the evening over a few drinks and some good conversation. Another option here is to get out early before the party crowd hits and have your conversation and drinks and then do something a little more personal like taking a walk, going to a movie, or maybe back to one of your places!!

What would you do for your Love!

Most of us go out of our way to help our partners. I hear stories of people running out in the pouring rain to get ice cream for their pregnant partners. Or parents that will sit up with their sick children all night and not get a minute of sleep. These are the type of actions that show how much you care about that other person. When you evaluate your relationship however you have to look at if you think your partner would do the same for you. Will they stay up late to massage your back if you hurt it at work? Would they run across town to help you out in the middle of the night? Would they take care of the kids so you could get some rest? If you answer no to these questions then you really need to look at your relationship, does it work with one partner putting all the effort into the relationship? Is there room for selfishness in a relationship? Well if you are strong you can overcome many challenges. No one likes for their good deeds to go unnoticed but for many people out their it is like that. Now you have to compare apples to oranges here. On partner might not be able to go without sleep and perform their job the next day, however they can repay the other partner in other ways. You can't look for a specific return on your investment so don't give a relaxing massage and expect your partner to jump up and give you one right after they are done. Look carefully at your relationship and the things your partner might be doing that you are over looking, it is easy to do. Relationships are like a bicycle built for two. You both have to pedal to get where you need to be, and if one person is doing all the pedaling then they will grow tired faster then the one not pedaling.

Waiting up

Do you have a night when your partner gets home late? If so this is a great time to surprise them by staying up to spend a little time with them. Most people that have to either work or stay out late cannot just come home and jump into bed to fall asleep. A nice gesture would be to surprise them by being up to spend some time with them. Have a great conversation, play a game, watch some late night television or you could even be waiting with some sexy intentions in mind to show them how much you care about them. You don't have to do this every night but once in a while will get your partner rushing home to see if there might be a chance you will still be up to enjoy their company.

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.

Touching the Driver

We spend a lot of time in our cars, even when we are on dates or going to an event. Most often we don't have any physical contact during this time. Yes there is safety concerns and I am not saying you should be making out while you are driving to your destination. However, there is something to be said for touching the drives hand or arms, maybe even caressing their shoulders. Not only does this help you stay physically connected during your voyage but it might also help avoid accidents. If you are on a long trip the driver gets a little tired or fatigued a little touch might be just the thing to pep them up. I know when I am driving it is nice to have a gentle touch, it just feels good and it stimulates the nerves helping to keep me awake on a late night drive. I also find it romantic that my partner just doesn't roll over a sleep but instead want to make sure I realize they are beside me. Keep this in mind the next time you are the passenger on a long trip with your sweety.

The Sounds of the Night.

Tonight looks like a warm summer night. What a great night to sit out on your porch or deck and listen to the sound of the night. You can get mesmerised by the sounds of the chirping and croaking of these little friends. They can serenade you to a zen like state, relaxing all your troubles away. Find some comfy chairs get a great glass of wine and enjoy the warm summer air and these great sounds. Unfortunately for us we have to put up with the occasional car that drives by. Bonus points for you if you live near a beach and can enjoy the sounds of the waves on these warm summer nights. I am sure anywhere you live you can be relaxed by the sounds of the night. If you live in a big city you might try downloading some of these relaxing sound and slip your headphones on as you stare at the sky. Let yourself get taken away from the hustle and bustle of the city, if only for a half hour or so.

Don't stop there also enjoy the smells of the night air and the great company you are with. Hold hands, talk, or just relax together. Let the night lead you on a journey of the senses and let all your cares fall to the way side for a bit. I bet you will sleep wonderful after these enjoyments.

Summer Fun

Summer time is here and if you haven't done it yet start planning out your summer activities. I am not talking about vacations we all know we need to plan those. I am talking about those weekend things you want to do this summer. Do the two of you enjoy amusements parks, baseball games, camping, hiking, whatever your passions you need to plan them out now. Summer has a way of getting away from us quickly and if we don't play our itinerary out now we might not get to accomplish all we want to during the summer. Think about it how many times have you debated what to do on the weekend only to end up not doing anything. This is what we want to avoid.

Make a list of all the things you want to do. Now rate them by number with one being the most important thing and then on down. Now get your schedules out and begin writing them on weekends, with the understanding of work schedules, and other events that might consume your time. I would also suggest having back up plans of inside things to just in case the weather doesn't cooperate. You don't want to be stuck at home on a weekend you wanted to go hiking just because it is raining.

Make sure to include some romance into your summer also. Things like going to see outdoor shows or fireworks are very romantic. Hiking up to a scenic overlook is a great idea for a couple as well as spending the warm summer nights looking up at the stars. Summer time to me is so romantic because you can get out of the house more. If you have kids you know you have to put them in the mix also, but this doesn't have to ruin the romance. Walking hand in hand at the zoo can be really stimulating for a couple. Going to your local fair is another romantic thing to do that might bring back some old memories.

Now what are you doing sitting her get your butts up and enjoy this beautiful weather.

Do you have a sex night?

Several of today's relationship gurus believe that having a specific night for sex is a must for the majority of relationships. The consensus is that our lives are so busy that just letting sex happen leads to less sex in the relationship. We have heard for years that spontaneous sex is the best, but is it really? Not knowing what is going to happen or when doesn't seem to fit with today's busy lifestyle. Don't get me wrong if you are together and the feeling hits you don't deny it, and say well this isn't sex night.

I believe that sex night is a great idea. I think it could help build anticipation and lessen disappointment. If you know your going to have sex tonight, I believe that you would fantasize about it most of the day. You would work yourself up and the passion when you finally got to that point would be incredible.

Let me know if you have a sex night? I want to hear about how you picked that night and the reason. Maybe you have certain nights throughout the year that are also guarantied for sex. Let me know all your situations. I am very curious what the public thinks.

Theme Night

Looking for something fun to do. Make a them night date. Pick a ethnic category and then based the whole night around that. Say for instance you pick Mexican. You could do dinner at a Mexican restaurant, find a place that plays Mexican music to go dance at and to top it off find a place that serves flan for dessert. Other ideas could be Italian dinner with spaghetti and meatball, go see a gangster movie or rent the sopranos, and top it off by speaking in an a Italian accent all night. As I always say do a little research on your subject and make it fun and exciting for the two of you. Get your partners input also they might think of something you wouldn't have. You could even use specific places in the United States such as a Texas them with western flair, or Hawaiian theme with tiki torches and pineapples.

You could make it like a party and do a murder mystery theme, and the caper is you go see a thrilling movie. A casino theme might be another idea and the big finale would be a trip to Vegas. You are only limited to your imagination.
