General Relationship DiscussionAlthough anyone can post anywhere on Talk About Marriage, this section is for people interested in general relationship and marriage advice.
Hi everybody - I thought I'd start a thread on romance. What would you like your significant other to do? What do you consider romantic? Share your stories and ideas
Every once in a while, kiss her hand with a flourish. The proper way to kiss a woman's hand is to lower your lips to her hand. You don't raise her hand to your lips.And all the better if you look her in the eyes while performing this. Romantic and oh so sexy!
A date involving a good movie, dinner at a really nice restutrant and good conversation.
And when she gets home, and they get ready to go upstairs, and her husband get's that "look" in his eye.......

She tells him to go outside and paint the house!!!!
Getting dressed up and going to a fancy restaurant, or sitting home alone watching a movie in the dark with the two of you cuddled on the couch.
One thing I do for my wife is that she loves back/butt/leg rubs... So I will lay a blanket down on the living room floor, turn down the lights, light a few candles, get the massage oil, maybe a little music, and set the thermostat to a warmer temp (since she will undress to get the massage) and then give her a rub down for a while.
I've come home to a dinner for two complete with the table all set up like a romantic restaurant.....he's turned the lights down and slow danced with me in the livingroom.....the first time he had to work out of town, he had to leave while I was at work. I came home to an empty house. I was sad and missing him already. I went into the bedroom and he'd left a single red rose on my pillow......I've given him full body massages....given him a bath in candle lit baths.....met him at the car when he got home from work wearing nothing under my coat......written him a poem.

If he is overly sexed and hyper, that'll teach to cool it.
Guess I'm lucky as I entered into menapause my husband said he was glad I no longer wanted sex so often, as he is older and tired. We still hug and kiss, snuggle but not like kids anymore and I'm glad too... even more glad he is ok with that.
Sex is way over rated.
Identify that one pivotal event that brought the two of you together. Celebrate that event every year.
it doesn't have to be an anniversary - just some day / evening / moment that you consider pivotal. I remember mine... gosh that would have ended up being nine a year
Practice even-day/odd-day romance: On even days it's your turn to be romantic, and on odd days it's your partner's turn.
I really wanted to try this one... just to help him get back into the practice of being romantic again. But he's right, he knows EXACTLY how to be romantic, he just chooses to wait for the right woman

If you'd like to spend a romantic summer night making wishes on falling stars, mark the second week in August on your calendar. The earth passes through the Perseid meteor belt around August 12 every year, which usually results in spectacular meteor showers for two to three nights.
Real romance would be for my husband to clean the whole house, do laundry, wash my car, all while I sleep. I wake up and it's all done !!!
My grandmother told me about a couple she knows, a way older couple and this woman got mad at her husband.. so she made him a nice steak dinner, then hid his dentures, so he couldn't eat it... haha
Guess that woman was sure mad.
