10 Ways to Romance your Spouse!

We all know how easy it is to fall into the day-to-day going's on in a marriage. Add in pets, jobs, chores and Children and romance can fall to the wayside. In order to keep your marriage healthy here are 10 ways to Romance your Spouse!

1) Write Love Notes
Write each other love notes! They can be short and sweet, written on a post-it note or long and drawn out! Put the note on the bathroom mirror, in their lunch, in a pocket, under their windshield, anywhere fun for them to find! You can even write the note in lipstick or shaving cream on a mirror!

2) Connect Physically
While intercourse is an extremely important part of marriage, I'm simply saying touch each other throughout the day. Hug, Kiss, Grab butts, etc. Just connect in some way physically every day!

3) Say it
Tell each other, "I love you", "You look great today", etc. Just remind each other that you still love the other!

4) Date again
Get out on dates as often as you can. As a Mom, of three young children, I know how difficult it can be to make time and find the funds to go on frequent date nights. We really strive to get out at least once a month to go dancing, see a movie, dinner or even just a walk. We also try to get an in-home date at least once a week. In-Home dates can be free if you watch a movie together, make dinner together, etc…or spendy if you order in, etc. Dating your spouse encourages closeness (is that even a word?), reminds you why you love your spouse, keeps it fresh, etc.

5) Gifts
Gifts can be inexpensive, expensive, homemade, etc. Something to show your Spouse how much they mean to you!

6) Love Language
Learn your Spouse's Love Language and put it into practice! My Husband and I have VERY different love languages but we make an effort to show each other we really care by doing things in their language! Don't know the Love Language of your Spouse? Take this FREE test to find out!

7) Learn Something New
Try to learn more about something your Spouse enjoys or learn something new together! My Husband loves anything nature, i.e Fish/aquariums, Bonsai/Tree's, Plants, etc. So I try to ask him questions that will help me learn more about his interests while showing him I care and enjoy spending time with him!

8) Change it up
Does your Spouse usually pay the bills, go grocery shopping, put away all the clean laundry? Change it up one day and do that chore for them!

9) Involve the Kids
If you have children you can tell them, in front of your Spouse, what you love about their Mama/Daddy. "I love that your Daddy works so hard to provide for us"! "I'm so thankful your Mama is able to keep this house in order"! It helps your children learn how a successful marriage works!

10) Connect Physically
Yep, I really mean it this time. Sexual intercourse really is important to maintain a great marriage! For some this is definitely an area of sacrifice but it's vital to maintain the physical contact with your Spouse. Even just cuddling in bed is better than never touching the man/woman you love!
