lots of love, lack of romance

Well said and great idea to the first two loving wife who posted above:) I also do those things and my hub is really proud of it. Sometimes we ride on a bike together, enjoy being wet on the rain as if were still on our younger years, watch movie or watch dvds which will turn our drives on. On friday nights, when the kids are off to bed, we usually go out at the garden and sit on a comfortable chair, watch the starry night, count the stars and talk about the old times and plan for the week ahead. We discuss what will be the menu for the week, do the market and grocery together. I do believe that doing things together helps the relationship grow stronger.

with everyone's busy schedules, we must all remember to take time out for ourselves now and then to create a balance. here are a couple of ideas (dont know how viable they are or anything but its a start)...bearing in mind that this would depend on finances and the ability to have the kids babysat. * have the kids babysat for a day or even a lunchtime for a few hrs and go find a lovely secluded spot (beach,river,park etc) and have a romantic little picnic lunch together * if you can afford it...book a room in a hotel for the night or a few hrs and have a 'secret rendevous' * meet each other at a restaurant as if its a first date.. * (you may have done this) buy some lingerie and tease him with it throughout the day with txt msgs etc...before getting a chance for him to see it (or get him to buy something he thinks would be nice) * write a little loveletter to him and stick it in his lunch or somewhere he can read it in private. * enjoy a shower together... dont know if these are any use to you....good luck and enjoy your husband!!! take care

All I could think of is date night. One night a week, send the kids to grandma's or better still to their best friend's house, and you and hubby have dtae night.One rule, you can't discuss kids, money, or business.Have a indoor picnic. Take a walk.Go see a movie or see a cultural event in town.

I think tigrashadow has definitely got it right!!!! Showers, lingerie.....all those things will work trust me. My husband loves when i do things that he knows are only for him...not only does it turn him on but it makes him feel special...guys need to feel that way. Offer him a massage, rub his feet. The love note in the lunch is the best. i do that for my husband periodically and he will call me at lunch and thank me. I went o his office and he actually had some of them on his bulletin board hanging in his office. How awesome that he was not afraid for others to see the feelings we have for each other as a couple. Give some of those a try and I hope the work and will look for a follow up from you. Good Luck.
