i happened upon this tonight:
33 Ways to Love Your LoverMP readers share secrets for revving up romance:
At the movies, share the armrest. we could try that, if there were any decent movies playing...
Save the last cookie or last piece of cake for your spouse. easier said than done...got 6 kids?
Don't hog all the Jeopardy questions on TV
Squeeze toothpaste on your partner's toothbrush when you're doing your own. lol! um...that would mean i have to get up at 5am! 6 on a weekend!
Get your spouse's pajamas out and lay them on the bed
Leave a favorite snack on the seat of your spouse's car.
Compliment your mate in front of friends or family. he would be embarrassed!
Light a candle in the bedroom. he'd blow it out for fear i'd fall asleep and forget to
Put down everything to greet your spouse at the end of the day. i do this already ;)
Fill the gas tank in your mate's car—as a surprise. good one! he would appreciate that
Light candles with dinner again, 6 kids!!!
Make a snack for both of you before bedtime. we have a bowl of ice cream together regularly
Turn your socks right-side out before throwing them in the hamper. huh?!!
Be adventurous—meet for lunch at an ethnic restaurant you've never tried. tried this...it was so hard! i REALLY don't care for thai food, but did it anyway cause we wanted to try something new. he thinks i didn't give it a chance...i think he is lucky i made it through the meal!
Choose a novel, then read it out loud to each other in the evenings.
Rent a movie you watched during your courtship days can't think of a movie we both liked during dating, but we watched beverly hills 90210 every wednesday night!
Buy an "I Love You" card and mail it to your spouse at work. hmmm, will an email count?
Make plans to re-create your first date. that would be fun, but kinda impossible at the moment...
When the dryer buzzes, instead of looking at your mate, volunteer to fold the clothes oh, this one must be geared towards him...
When one of you is indoors and the other outside, knock on the window and blow a kiss. lol!
Don't put away stuff your spouse might want left out. i always ask first
When you're finished driving, put the seat back to your mate's preferred position
Hold hands instead of holding the remote control we don't watch television...that must be the reason why we have 6 kids!!
On cold mornings, go ahead and bring in the newspaper.
Kiss at stoplights rotfl!!!
Hide love notes around the house where your spouse will find them. or slip a note in his pocket for him to find later in the day ;)
When you disagree, always acknowledge the possibility that you could be wrong.
When stopping for gas while traveling, buy a treat for your partner without buying anything for yourself
Next time you shop for clothes, let your spouse vote on an outfit. i never get anything more than a "it looks okay"
Get involved in a new ministry together
Shower together and wash your spouse's back. did i mention that he get's up at 5am and 6 on the weekends?
When your mate lies down on the couch, get him or her a pillow.
Get to know your in-laws. LOVE my inlaws!!!
