Keeping the Romance in Your Marriage
For some couples, keeping the romance alive isn't all that difficult, for others the romance seems to fizzle away before they know it. Marriage can have its ups and downs just like any relationship in life and just like everything else, it takes work, dedication, and love. If you're willing to put those three items into it, then your success rate should be pretty high. Life throws all sorts of challenges at us. Marriage shouldn't be the biggest challenge, after all you fell in love with this person and no one challenged you to love them...chances are you fell in love with them all on your own. Well, maybe it was their beautiful eyes or their perfect smile. Maybe it was the way they actually listened when you spoke or shared your love of books, its these things we all need to keep in mind when things start to fizzle. But the hum drum of every day life can get to us and sometimes these past memories just aren't enough. There's lots of ways to keep the romance alive and lots of ways to brings it back if you feel you've lost it. I hope that some of these ideas will help.

For a Romantic Evening start in the Morning!
...............................................................................................................
Yes, that's right. I said start in the morning. If you want a romantic evening that night, start in the morning! Whats that? You're always rushed in the morning? Well, these little tips aren't going to set you back or make you any later than you already are.
- Find a point during your morning routine when you smile at him/her and say something nice - about how he/she looks, something he/she has done, or something you've thought about.
- Before either of you leaves for work, find some sexy or affectionate way to touch him/her at least once - pat him/her on the butt, stroke their cheek, run your fingers lightly down their arm -just something to remind him/her that your body likes his/her body, and visa versa.
- Check in with that person at least once a day with some kind of sexy, loving, or affectionate message - a note in the briefcase, a message on voicemail, a quick call at work - just to remind him/her that you like seeing him/her and are looking forward to your evening together.
- Find at least one nice thing to do for him/her before the evening ends. If your partner is cooperative, you might make a deal that each of you will do one nice thing for the other - a few moments of massage, a foot rub, running a hot tub for you to soak in, you keep the kids quiet while he watches the new - anything to convey the message that you appreciate each other.

A WHAT in a jar?!
Being a Relationship Coach I've helped many women and couples get their relationships back on track and I've heard back from some that say I've helped spice up their relationship that was just fine. Lets take for instance the woman is just too tired after a long days work. She comes home, cooks dinner, takes care of the kids, puts laundry away and somewhere in between all that over the years the romance kinda fizzles away. Both partners still love each other, but that excitement, that urgency just isn't at the level it used to be at when they first met. Thats when I introduce them to my little friend called Pure Satisfaction. You may have seen it on the t.v. show The Doctors. Its been an exclusive product to Passion Parties for many years. I've seen KY and a few other off brands try to duplicate it and I've had clients tell my they have tried the other products, only to be disappointed....until they try Pure Satisfaction.I was once told that it literally saved a marriage. When the ladies try it, they truly are amazed at how wonderful it makes them feel. Its a unisex gel, so men can use it as well. It will first 'get you there' if you aren't 'there' and by 'there' - I mean its going to put you in the mood. I had one lady leave a party because she had to get home to her husband after trying a sample. This gel will also heighten 'The big O'. Its also been described as climax in a jar. Although I prefer to use a more subtle description. I think the name speaks for itself.
Going back to Retro
Not into gels or creams? Thats ok, I have some other ideas too. Think back to when you first met. Did you have a song that was 'you song' - meant just for the two of you - a special one? Maybe you had a few songs? Rather than creating a mixed tape you could burn a c.d. or create a play list and down load it to his mp3 player and surprise him/her. There's a country song that has a line "Ain't it funny how a melody can bring back a memory, bring to another place and time, can even change your state of mind". I love that line because its so true. The right song can bring you back to any point of time in your life and for a moment or two you relive it, even if only through a memory. How fun would it be to relive that memory of your first kiss together or your first dance? A couple that plays together stays together!
Keep the mood fun
Its true, couples that play together, stay together. That could mean play as in going on adventurous excursions like zip lining, a quiet walk through a national park, visiting an old town neither of you have been to before, or introducing a toy in the bedroom. Some couples feel like a personal toy is completely off limits. I believe that as long as both people are comfortable with the toy its ok. Understand that the toy is in no way meant to replace a partner in any way shape or form. Its meant to enhance a romantic relationship between two consenting grown adults looking to spice up their relationship and add something new to the bedroom. Before introducing a toy, its best to sit down and talk about how each other feels about it. Often times a partner may feel as if the other person is not being fulfilled by the partner and bringing in a toy is meant to replace them. This is more often NOT the case. Women in general can have a difficult time reaching 'the big O' and often times it takes penetration and clitoral stimulation at the same time in order for a woman to reach her full climax and that's where a toy can be most helpful. I truly believe that when a couple is fully educated on the why and when a toy should be introduced in a relationship, both the man and woman are more open to trying it. I have more information on this topic and its a sensitive topic, so if you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me. More ways to add fun
Another one of my favorite ways to add fun is with some "White Chocolate Body Powder' not only does this stuff taste AMAZING, its a lot FUN for both of you. What the woman (or man) does is use the feather does that's included and dust four different parts of your body. When your partner gets home point out one spot so they get a taste. Mmmmm, they're gonna want more and now they know you're in the mood! Tell them in a seductive voice "I've got this in five places on my body and you'll have to lick me all over to find each one...."Now, remember you only dusted four places......Sooooooo, they're going to be very busy for a very long time! How much fun is that?! ;-)
Reading is Sexy!
Sometimes ready an erotic book together is a turn on and can get both of you in the mood! From flipping through a cookbook of love recipes (by the way, cooking together - another romantic activity), a book on sexual positions, how tickle his pickle or tickle her fancy....any of these are great books for you to sit down together and just look through. Laugh, try some things, have fun with it. The point is you need to take some time and just be together. Have a Passionate Day!

- Good ideas for helping to keep romance alive. It shouldn't be hard, but so often we get into a routine and let things be taken for granted.
