Get pictures of the two of you!


One thing I notice when I go to other peoples houses is how few pictures they have of them as a couples. If they have kids you see many pictures of the kids on the wall and several of one partner with the children but if you do see a couples photo it is usually a professional one. Were are the pictures of the couple enjoying vacation together or just hugging on the couch. I suggest you start focusing on ways to get pictures together weather you ask strangers to take your pictures or teach your children to use the camera. With digital cameras now a days you can let the kids practice and then erase all the ones that are of your feet or just the top of your heads. Once you get the pictures you want then start posting them around your house as a reminder of how fun and important your relationship is.

Keep an eye on your partners schedule.


Sometimes we all forget a thing or two. Maybe we have something planned and we just blow it. You can do a very romantic thing and try to keep track a little of your partners schedule. Make notes when ever they tell you thinks they need to do. If they say, "I want to get to work early Thursday" You might remind them of that Wednesday night or give them the little shake Thursday morning and say, "Didn't you want to get to work early today?" This goes for social things to like birthday parties or things they are to do with friends. Especially things they don't want to miss. We all forget from time to time and you can be the hero if you remind your partner not to miss their best friends baby shower, or that they were suppose to meet the guys at the game. Don't make it seem like stalking make it feel like you are watching out for them. They will be so happy you might just get a great big kiss.

Coin Collection


Want to do something that doesn't seem romantic but when you partner finds out about it will make them swell up? Start a romantic coin collection. Save coins from the change of special events you go to. Things like movies you attend or romantic dinners you have together. After you pay for what ever it is save the smallest coin from that change and hold on to it. When you get home tape it to a index card and write down on the card what event it was from. Start this as soon as possible in your relationship but don't let you partner see until well into the relationship. After you have been together for a while pulling out a card with the change on it from your first date would be pretty impressive. You can also write your feelings on the card about the event or even put down little trivia things like what she was wearing, what songs you heard, or milestones in your relationship, such as first touch, first kiss, etc. Not only will this seem romantic but it will make it easy to remember all those wonderful times you had together. Just keep it going all through your relationship and you will have the best coin collection ever.

Make special scents around the house.


We all know how wonderful smell can be. They can take us back to our childhood or remind us of wonderful times that we have had. Scents can take us to specific times like Christmas or vacations past. Why not put the amazing power into your romance. Go to the store and find the aisle with the scented plug devices in it and start browsing. Look for scents that might remind your lover of past experiences. Like if you have been to Hawaii or just desire to go then pick up some coconut or pineapple scents. Want to make it feel a little more like Christmas time then maybe some pine scent or sugar cookie scent will take you there. Surprise you partner and put the device in when they won't be home for a while. Upon return watch their face as the pick up the scent. You might be able to take away a little of their daily stress by taking them away with these triggers.

Pictures Pictures Pictures.


One think I cannot express enough is that you need to document your relationship from the start. Maybe this might not be the relationship that is your last but what if it is? Wouldn't it be nice to have pictures from your early days together to share when you get older. Ones that would jog your memory and let you relive those wonderful days all over again. Cameras are great today you can make and save all your prints right at home. No worries about wasting film or having to take the film to the drug store to get them processed. You really have no excuse to not be taking pictures at every event you attend. If you have children you have to take pictures so that when they are grown and gone you can still remember them when they needed you most. Make an investment in your future and buy a good camera and start documenting everything that you can in your relationship and life.

Romantic visions help to promote romance in your life.


We all want as much romance as we can handle in our life. How come we hide things away that remind us of romance. Romantic pictures on the wall are one way that you can remind yourself daily to do your part of romance. Hang sexy or romantic pictures in areas of your house that you will have to view often. This way every time you see these images it will spark you mind and bring romance to your thoughts. Most of us try to keep our romance a secret and by doing that we hide it away from ourself. Keeping it in the dark makes us forget about the romance that would make our life so much more enjoyable. Start today and hang romantic pictures in areas of your house that will remind you at the appropriate time that romance need to be your concern. In the hallway on the way to your bedroom, in the bathroom, or even put some pictures in the bedroom itself to work as a constant reminder.

Save thing for sentimental gifts later.


One thing you should get in the habit of doing is saving things that might be really sentimental later on in your relationship. These little reminders of the past work well as presents during the future. Some of the things I have saved and given as a gift are, the movie tickets from our first date, a flyer from the cruise we got married on and our first email conversations that I printed out before even our first date. At the time these didn't seem like important little tit bits but when you present them to your partner on your 5th year wedding anniversary they seem a little more important. Pictures can also be helpful so take lots of pictures when you do anything together. Other things I can think of that would make great gifts are: pregnancy tests from a child (great for a graduation present for your partner), the recorded version of a song that you first dance to, or some momentous of your first trip together. Heck you could even take a picture of the two of you each time you have an anniversary and then each year give it as a present as you add another picture to it. Memories are so precious to us and the simplest thing can remind us of the great times we have had.

Hang some pictures of the two of you.


If you want to really show your mate you really care about them, an easy way to do it is to hang some pictures of the two of you up in your house. Pictures from your vacations, or from the holidays it doesn't matter. Get the pictures blown up to an acceptable size and position them around your house in areas that they mesh with. Vacation pictures or Holiday pictures can go in the living area while pictures of you in the rain might work well in the bathroom. Pictures of the two of you in restaurants might work well in the kitchen or dinning area. Save pictures of the two of you kissing or hugging for the bedroom. Keeping images of great times you have had in the past help to cement your relationship and give you a constant visual reminder of how much fun you have together. I would suggest getting pictures you have taken through the years instead of getting some professional ones done, the one you take seem to have a more personal feel. You might have to rely a little on others to take pictures of the two of you, but no matter where you are someone will always be their to lend a helping hand.

Break out the Christmas Shows from your past.

It doesn't matter if her 18 or 65 you still have some type of Christmas show that you watched when you were younger. The one I can remember the most is "A Charlie Brown Christmas" I couldn't wait of it to come on when I was younger. I even saw that it is still on today. One of my sisters and I would always stay up late on Christmas and we would watch an old Bob Hope movie called "The Lemon Drop Kid" If you go searching now a days I am sure you can find a dvd of your favorite Christmas Show or better yet find out your partners favorite and pick one of those up. Give it to them on Christmas Eve and watch it together before retiring for the night. Sad to say but a lot of people associate time frames with what was on television at that time. This action might just put him/her back into a time frame where magic happened.

Making Sense of Scents


Do you have special scents that remind you of specific times or places in your life? I know several that stick out in my mind. The smell of the ocean, fresh pineapple in Hawaii, the perfume my wife wears, or the smell of our freshly changed sheets, all remind me of special times. Now how do you incorporate that feeling into being romantic. Simple, you just find out what smells are triggers for you partner and do a little searching on the Internet for candles with that scent and bingo, bango, bongo, your romantic. Imagine your partner coming home to a house that smells like the ocean on your last vacation. What about pumpkin pie smell in the fall or pine tree around Christmas time. If you click on the title of this post you will be directed to the Candle-Licious web site where they have several scents to choose from.




Don't go for the normal scents try to find something that is specific to your relationship. Maybe your partner likes the smell of leather well Candle-Licious has that scent in their catalog. Put some time into finding the right scent and set the mood for the two of you to remember things from your past.
