Do something a little crazy during the night.

When it is time for sleep we all hope to get under the covers and fall into a deep deep sleep. While this is not always the result it is what we hope for. Sometimes however when you are having troubles sleeping you might just want to try something different. If your partner is not totally sleeping like a baby, roll up next to him/her and put a body part against them that you normally wouldn't. Touch feet or a naked butt against a thigh works well. Anything to say, "I'm here in a different capacity" Touch your partners elbow or caress their armpit. See what kind of reaction you get. Or heck if you are the partner that weighs less climb on top of them and stroke their arms until they begin stroking yours back. These crazy little moves might not help you get to sleep but they will get you our of your routine and maybe you might find something that helps produce a better nights sleep. You also never know but it might spark a little middle of the night tango that could give you the relaxing chemicals you need to fall deep asleep. Don't ever under estimate the power of touch as a sleep aid.

Silly Bed Sheets


Never rule out silly bed sheets as being romantic. You know the ones with the cartoon characters on them. When you are in a committed relationship you can break them out and invite your partner over to your side of the bed for snuggling. I however wouldn't suggest them for a while the first time you sleep together you partner might not think Deputy Dog is the most romantic or even cute. You might come off a little strange at that time, but when you get to know each other and you find out your partner loved Scooby Doo as a child then break out the Mystery Machine sheets and have a shaggy good time.

Romance can happen at the most unromantic times.


Never count out romance it can spring up at any time or place. I have some of the most unusual times to be the most romantic in my life. For instance climbing up diamond head crater in Hawaii was a long and physically demanding hike but when we got to the top the view was amazing and sharing it with my partner was the best. Other time come when you have to deal with difficult situations, like bankruptcy or death in the family. The fact that the other partner is strong for both of you is one hell of a romantic statement. If you just watch a little you will see romance all around you. Simple things like your partner asks if you would like something to drink or just stops to help you sort the laundry. We always want the fireworks and big show in our romance but sometimes we miss the opening acts. Those opening acts are sometimes pretty good.

Serendipity - Great Romantic Movie.


Today I would like to suggest a great romantic comedy for you to watch. Serendipity stars John Cusak (a favorite of mine) and Kate Beckinsale. It is a magical movie of how love finds it way even when you think it is lost. It showed me that you can't force love you have to let it follow it's path even though that path might be a long one. Plus there is a lot of comedy in the movie to give you a good chuckle or two. Purchase the movie below at amazon today and see how Serendipity can effect your love life.

Scratch like a cat.


When we think of romantic things we can do for our partner via touch the first thing that pops into mind is a massage. You might think of light touching or caressing the skin to bring goose bumps. While these are perfectly fine, sometimes you need to whip out your claws and give them a good scratching. I am not talking about breaking the skin but running your nails over their back can feel exhilarating to him/her. Scratching will stimulate the skin in a different way and get rid of any itches that your partner might have. Besides the back there are many other areas that can benefit from a good scratch. Scratching your partners rear end or scalp are two that come to mind but any where that you partner has skin that is not to sensitive is a great place to scratch. For a tantalizing time rotate scratching with light caressing, by changing up the sensation you partner will get a rush like waves lapping the beach.

Displaced Kiss


Today's Romantic tip is to kiss a place on your partners body that you don't usually kiss. See what kind of reaction you get from your lover, did you hit an erogenous zone or maybe just the fact you did something a little out of the norm might be a turn on. Kiss the palm of your partners hand, or his/her elbow or maybe even his/her knee. If you have the good fortune of being naked with them, then it opens up a whole bunch of areas to be kissed. The feet and toes are often a feel good spot for kisses as well as the joint areas such as the back of the knee or the area where you arm bends. During sex we focus on the genitals but what about the area above that where our pubic hair grows how about planting some kisses there? Make it a point to eventually kiss your partner on every inch of his/her body. You might just find a few hot spots that you were unaware of.

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.
