Play the Newlywed Game


Do you remember the old game show the Newlywed Game? If not the premise of the show was to see how much each couple new about each other. They were awarded point for each right answer and then the couple with the most points won, usually a trip somewhere. Now I am sure you cannot offer yourself a trip but it is fun to see how much you know about each other. Sit down sometime and write out questions to ask your partner. Have you partner do the same then exchange the papers and write down your answers to each question. Then together go over each question and see if your partner can pick which answer to gave. Make the question multiple choice to see if your thoughts are lining up. Have some good laughs and learn about your partner who knows maybe one day these will actually help you win a trip.

Sample Question Might be :
Which superhero does your partner remind you of, A-Superman, B-Batman, or C-Super Chicken

Actually there are several versions of the newlywed game you can click on our amazon sidebar and pick up a copy if you don't want to write out your own questions.

Go out and pick up trash.


We all want a cleaner earth but how many of us venture out of our house to help out. Being green is very romantic and believe me your partner will feel the same way. Suggest that the two of you go out for a hour a week on a walk with the intention of picking up all the trash you see on the way. Make it a challenge to see if you can fill a bag or two bags. Keep track of how much trash you pickup each and every time and make a chart to show how much help you are giving the earth. You could even set a goal of a romantic evening out once you get 50 bags of trash. Nothing is more romantic than saving our home planet so start today and hold hands as you are searching for that trash.

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.

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.

Pick up a magazine for the opposite sex.


Want to do something that will gain you some insight into your partner? Pick up a magazine about the opposite sex or borrow one of your partners. Read all the articles with an open mind and see how the opposite sex ticks. Make sure it is one that caters to the opposite sex. Readers Digest is bisexual in my opinion but Cosmo or Men's Fitness are definitely geared towards a specific sex. See how the articles fit with the way you feel and try to look at it from the opposite sexes point of view. Maybe then you might start to understand why your woman needs a little more cuddle time or why you man wants to see you in something sexy. I wish there were more magazines for couples that addressed issue from a couples point of view. I know of one but you cannot get a subcription the last time I checked in the United States, the magazine is based out of Canada. You can check out the magazine online it is called 2 For Couples, so if anyone wants to smuggle me a copy across the border let me know.

Read some erotica together.


Nothing can get you in the mood for a little love more then reading about it. Pick up a sexy tale about people in love and read it to each other in bed. Take turns and pass the book back and forth reading a page each. If one or both of you are uncomfortable reading erotica out loud then you can get the same book and read it to yourself as your partner does the same. You could also pick up an audio version of an erotica book and listen to it together. Erotica is a kick starter for you libido. I have found some pretty out their erotica that deals with fetishes and swinging but I personally enjoy couples erotic. Couples erotica is hot and steamy sex that stays within their relationship. No outside forces, threesomes or orgies are within the pages of couples erotica. You can check out some of the erotica I have written by going to my website at the bottom of this post. I enjoy writing about the passion between two people and happen endings in more ways then one. Pick up a good read tonight and find out how much it ads to you love life.

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.
