Finding Quiet Time For Both of You

This is hard to do. Make it happen. Here are a couple of ideas to help you slowly let him (or her) know you are paying attention.

  1. Gently so not to break it--with an eyeliner or lip liner write a love note on the shower wall. Gals, if you're feeling really spicy, do a mack daddy clean on a small portion next to your lusty message and really put on some bright lipstick. Kiss the shower wall as your signature. This is a GREAT way to start some excitement and help build it up for that night.
  2. Notes. We've all left them. Not a super original idea. But where to PUT them? ;) Hmmmm. In the pocket of the pants they're wearing that day. In their wallet. On their windsheild at work (can be worth the trip, believe me). On top of their pillow for that night. The note can be shockingly forward or supremely sweet and innocent. Your choice.
  3. Just when you are the most angry and feel like blowing up, whether you're in the throws of a fight or there's one coming on..do a huge reverse and graciously accept what is coming at you. When they expect the big fight, give them love and acceptance. Change it up. And mean it. And walk away. Is it worth it? In the end, is the fight you are having, the yelling, the screaming, the angry words that hurt, is it all worth it? Usually, it's not. Most of the time it's not. I did this the other day, to avoid an argument and it felt fantastic. It threw a curve ball and the fight never came. It was smoothly avoided. Later we talked about the point of contention in a normal conversation and all ended beautifully. AND we connected that night. In more ways than one. ;)

This is just the beginning of this blog. It will all be about finding the quiet for you, the couple. It will be about spicing it up after lots of years together. It will be about love and how to make it; but not just physically. Stay tuned.
