As an incurable romantic, I love ideas to heat up romance. Here are my Top 12 suggestions:
Say to your love when you awake in the morning: “What can I do for you today that will make your life easier and less stressful?” then do it.
Leave a love note on the bathroom mirror.
Write a love note — a real love note and send it via the US Mail. Here’s a simple start: “I love you for a million reasons, here are the top 3.”
Send flowers to his or her office for no reason other than to say “I love you.”
Set aside time to give the gift of listening. Make a date if you must, in your own home or at a quiet little place in the neighborhood for coffee or a drink and just listen to each others thoughts.
Remember when he or she says, “I wish I had one of those” and then, if it’s affordable — buy it for no reason other than to say, “I love you.”
Find a picture of the two of you smiling happily, frame it or put it up on the frig with a note that says, “I love to see us happy.”
Serve breakfast in bed — champagne, crumpets, and strawberry jam.
Leave a single rose on the bed or chocolates under the pillows — as they do in grand hotels.
Find a funny — laugh out loud — card and mail it.
Go to a mushy movie, sit in the back row and touch and kiss wildly.
Tie an I LOVE YOU balloon to his car.
Jump in puddles after a rainstorm — it will trigger those love hormones!
Most of all, the very best gifts are to speak kindly, smile thoughtfully, and hug tightly.
