Bedtime Romance

At the close of each day, you have the
choice to either ignore your partner or
embrace the opportunity for intimacy.

•Tonight, shake things up a bit and choose
one of the great ideas to help you
enjoy that special time.

•A massage is the perfect way to end an
evening with your lover. Get to know your
lover's body while pampering them with
your relaxing touch.

•Read to each other from a favorite novel,
book of poetry, or erotica.

•Turn on some music and slow dance. If you really want to romance
them, choose the song you first danced to
as husband and wife.

•Turn off the TV. It's not that cuddling in
front of the tube isn't romantic, but TV
time has a tendency to intrude on intimacy.

•Making the choice to focus completely on
each other opens the door to romantic
opportunities.

•Wear sexy night clothes. It doesn't have to
be lingerie, but it should be more than an
old T-shirt and boxer shorts.

•Talk about your favorite memories
together. Remember your childhood
friends, compare scars, reminisce about the
stress of your engagement, or look through
the photos of vacations you took together.
If you are keeping a love journal, make a
timeline of special times to tuck inside.

•Before making your way to the bedroom, lie
with each other in front of the fire and kiss,
kiss, and kiss some more.

•Take a bath together. Nothing makes a
night's sleep sweeter than a nice relaxing
bath before slipping between the sheets,
so why not do it together? Wash each
other's hair and cuddle up in the bubbles
together.

•Have a bedtime picnic before hitting the
pillow. Some good menu ideas may include
a snack tray of cheese and crackers or
champagne and strawberries, or it could
also be something sweet like cake and ice
cream.

•Lie in bed together listening to music and
holding each other.
