i was born an old man, and i don't know how to have fun. i really could use some tips to try some things to show my W how much i love her. we have just weathered one of the worst storms a marriage could possibly endure, and i have these pages and Dr. H to thank for a lot of what got us through it, but i need some ideas on how to express myself to her in a way that will deposit lots of LU's in her LB.

Gosh, take her on a picnic to one of your area's attractive public parks. You prepare the meal (a good meal!) and dress casual. Be sure to have a blanket for cloud watching (*smile*). Or, how about a comedy club? Of course, these are some of the things I like (*smile*). <P>It sounds like you've settled into being old too soon and need to get in touch with your inner child somehow. Not sure how you will do that, but there are plenty of books on the subject!<P>Good luck!

Try surprising her by getting up early, prepare breakfast, and serve it to her in bed. My husband likes to do this for me and I love being pampered!<P>Bringing home flowers for her is always a great idea. She might also enjoy cards, stuffed animals, or some other little gift. <P>Try leaving little love notes around the house for her to find.<P>I hope that some of these ideas are helpful.<BR>God Bless!<BR>

Take her to a water park if there is one near you. Or to the boardwalk, or to a ballroom or country dance class. Lots of fun!

Hope these tips might help,these are all things my H did for me b4 things got bad:<BR>EVERY morning he brought me a drink in bed<P>Writing messages in the bathroom mirror<P>Cleaning my car windows on a frosty morning,and then writing I love you in reverse on the back window(so i read it in the car)<P>Coming home from work to find a hot bath,candles in the bathroom,and rose petals on the water.<P>Going shopping and buying me something-just cause he missed me.<P>sending me emails just to say he loved me<P>While i was cooking he'd come up and put his arms around me and nuzzle my neck.<P>When the alarm went off each morning,he'd wrap his arms around me and hug me for 10 mins before he got up.<P>Brushing my hair,cause he wanted to.<P>Actually thinking about all this has just made me sad again as 4 wks ago he left me,so i'm gonna stop now,but you get the idea !
