<BR>We need to get some posts going here!!<P>1. Just sitting on the couch after the kids are in bed, eating Ben & Jerry's ice cream and talking. Foot rubs for either or both partner are an added bonus.<P>2. My wife likes to take long hot baths in the evenings. I take in a pillow and sit on the floor beside the tub while she soaks. We have some of our best and most open conversations during her baths. Scented candles, drinks, bath oils, after bath massages with scented lotions, etc. can all add to the experience. A hot tub is definitely in the plans for a dreamhouse someday.<P>3. Write short, affectionate notes and put them in unlikely places where your spouse will find them (silverware drawer, visor of car, taped to milk in refirg, etc.) Just say something simple like "I hope you have a great day at work. Looking forward to the weekend for some time with you, I love you" My wife loves these. My oldest daughter even gets in on this by leaving notes saying thank you mom for... my wife will leave similar notes in her school lunch.<P>4. I am pretty aware of my wifes "womanly cycle". Usually 5-6 days before her period starts she craves chocolate and sweets. If I'm sure I've got the time frame right, I will bring home a pie, cake, chocolate, etc. She really loves this andI don't think she even knows that I am aware of the timing of her cravings.<P><BR>This is just a start! Please post below and lets fill this section of the forums with positive ideas that we all can use in our marriages.<p>[This message has been edited by help me (edited March 03, 2000).]
