KEEPING THE ROMANCE ALIVE

AFTER THE KIDS ARRIVE

Flirt with your husband. Do it via email, text, phone, in person. Let him know you are thinking about him, want him and can’t wait until he gets home.

Meet for lunch.

Touch each other. Rub his back, touch his arm, hold his hand, pat his butt……start when you get up in the morning.

Shower together.

Be ready for quickies when the kids take a nap or put on a movie for them to watch.

Set up a romantic night at home. After the children go to bed, have a romantic meal together with candles and good music.

Get a babysitter and go on a date, but make it different. Don’t leave the house together. Meet at a specified place and act as if you just met.

Be spontaneous.

Go to bed at the same time.

Give each other rubdowns.

Be thankful for your spouse...let him know it.

Laugh with each other.

Do the unexpected.

Don’t get upset about the little irritations.

Tell your husband you love him throughout your day.

Prolonged kisses at the door and throughout the day let him know you are interested.

Sweet talk to one another in front of the children, it will bring them security and give them a lasting picture of a loving relationship.

Build him up with your words.

Be creative.

Serve him.

Watch a show/movie he enjoys...and enjoy it with him!

Take care of yourself. Look good. Stay healthy. Bathe daily. Wash and style your hair. Be sure your roots are colored. Wear clothes…take off the sweats or other lounging outfit. Put on some makeup. Try your best to keep your figure.

Create your own at home spa.

Make it a night where you do things he thoroughly enjoys (even if you don’t necessarily like it). Go to eat where he likes to go or make what he likes to eat.

Write him notes and leave them everywhere…in his drawers, his pockets, his breakfast, his lunch, in the refrigerator, the car, on the toilet, the bathroom mirror, the door, and any place else you can think of.

With your money book a night at a hotel. Give him a note when he leaves for work as to when and where he should meet you or email, text or call him during the day to notify him.

Surprise him by taking a massage class. You can become his personal masseuse.

Make up heart-shaped cards with services you will perform for your husband when he gives them to you. For example – a night out with the guys; Get out of a fight free card; eating in front of the TV card; mowing the lawn; washing and waxing his car; etc.

Make a CD with love songs on it and set the mood for listening to it and loving on him.

Some of thee may seem insignificant, but it is the little foxes that spoil the vine. It is the little things in life that add up to be big things later on.
