Do you think that once you are married you don’t need to do anything to keep the passion in your relationship? Well you are wrong. You have to work at making your relationship passionate and loving. There is a reason why I have so many couples coming up to Larry and me and asking us how they can have a relationship like the one we have.
Well it didn’t come about very easily and through trial and error we figured it out. One thing I do know is we have worked at it and March 18th we will be married for 45 years and the passion and love is still there. So if you think there is no passion after 45 years? Well you are wrong! Most couples become lazy and think because you are married you don’t need to do anything to keep the romance going. They think it should be spontaneous.
The Today Show had Lesley Jane Seymour of More Magazine and clinical psychologist, Jeff Gardere talk about the importance of keeping the passion in your relationship and what you need to do.

So get off your butt and go out on a date, do silly little things to let your partner know you care about them! Implementing some of the ideas I have given you at Surprise Kiss will help to keep boredom away and keep the surprise and passion in your marriage for years to come.
Keep those sparks flying!

Have you found your sweet spot with your sweetheart yet? You are probably wondering what I am talking about and it isn’t what you are thinking…… By sweet spot I mean something you enjoy doing together. Something that makes you feel connected to each other:
• Cooking together
• Gardening
• Car Races
• Running
• Playing a sport
• Running
• Reading
• Etc.
A friend was telling me her husband has a Harley Davidson Motorcycle and they enjoy working on it together while listening to old school rock and roll. When they are done they wash the bike and go for a ride. She said she enjoys helping him and then climbing on the bike and wrapping her arms around him and letting the wind blow through her hair.
Larry and I enjoy cooking together. On the weekends we plan our menu, go shopping together and when we get home we prepare our feast while listening to soft jazz in the background.
One couple we know enjoys gardening together. Their backyard is beautiful and after a day of weeding, mulching and planting they sit in their yard with a tall glass of ice tea and enjoy the labors of their work. During the winter months they go through gardening catalogs and plan their garden.
Another couple enjoys reading together. They go to the library and pick out the latest book and in the evening they will sit by the fireplace, have a glass of wine and read to each other. Sometimes they will pick up a very steamy/romantic story to read. Talk about getting being the mood after reading a chapter or two!
Find the sweet spot that makes you feel connected, something you both enjoy and reminds you why you fell in love with each other.

Did you get the items I told you to get in my blog I posted late Thursday for Valentine’s Day? Just in case you didn’t get a chance to read it or you need a reminder here is the list:
• Valentine’s Card
• Sexy Panties
• Candles
• Romantic Music
• Something Bubbly to Drink
Hey guys, if you are reading this and you are planning on purchasing a pair of cute sexy little panties for your sweetheart, you will need to make sure you know what size to buy her. If you don’t have a clue what size she wears, look in her lingerie draw and check out the label for her perfect fit. There is always a tag somewhere in the panties.
Once you have picked everything up then you are ready to prepare for a fun and very titillating Valentine’s Day.
On Valentine’s morning hand your sweetheart the Valentine’s card you purchased with the panties tucked inside along with a note written in it:
“Happy Valentine’s sweetheart, I’d like you to come and play with me tonight!”
In the evening light the candles, turn on the music and pour your favorite bubbly in 2 glasses and enjoy the evening together.
Ladies:
Put on the panties you gave your sweetheart to think about all day.
Guys:
Let your sweetheart know how much you enjoy looking at her beautiful body and can’t wait until she models her new sexy panties in the evening.
The anticipation of those sexy panties should put both of you in the mood for a very fun and romantic evening.
Since Valentine’s is on Tuesday and if you are usually too tired to think about getting in the mood on a week night then celebrate Valentine’s this weekend. Whatever works for the two of you.
May you both have a fun and very titillating Valentine’s Day.
Keep those sparks flying!

Tomorrow is National Spouse Day. As you know I am always looking for ways for you to show your appreciation toward your spouse and tomorrow is just one more reason to celebrate how much you love them.
You don’t need to run out and get a gift all you need to do is find little ways to show your sweetheart how much you appreciate them. Compliment them. Make your spouse feel they are special to you. Isn’t that all we want from each other? Someone that thinks you’re the bomb.
Thank them for being the best partner you could ever have. Recognize all the things they do for you. When you have been married for a long time it is easy to take each other for granted. This is the day to stop and say thank you and I love you.
If you have the time and energy you may want to really……..show your appreciation later in the evening or give a coupon promising lots of leisurely loving over the weekend. Whatever you do keep it simple, nothing extravagant. You don’t want your partner to feel like they dropped the ball for not knowing tomorrow is National Spouse Day.
Do you want to kick it up a notch? Tomorrow grab a post-it-note and write:
“I bet you didn’t know today is National Spouse Day? Well I do and I want to show you how much I appreciate you when we are alone tonight. After we will both be singing “I want to thank you baby!”

A few weeks ago I wrote about the importance of kissing to help keep the passion in your relationship. I suggested that you purchase the book, “The Ten Second Kiss”, by Ellen Kreidman. As you know kissing is an important part of connecting you as a couple but did you know kissing is good for your health too?
If you want to enhance your immune system and keep your blood pressure down then kiss for 30 minutes with your sweetheart and you will both not only be boosting you passion but your health. It helps your body to have fewer allergy symptoms. Kissing brings on the powerful calming hormone, oxytocin, which helps to alleviate your stress and your body to fight any allergies you might have.
Grab your sweetheart and start kissing each other for 30 minutes. Don’t worry if you start laughing together because you will get the same results. Laughing & kissing together can do your body and relationship good.

Sorry I didn’t post an idea for date night on Friday. It has been a little hectic around here. Larry’s mother went into the hospital on Tuesday and all our attention has been directed toward her and her recovery. She is still in the hospital but we are hoping she will be out within the next couple of days.
This is a blog I posted on August 6, 2009 and thought it was worth repeating. Enjoy!
Do you wish you could bring back the feeling you used to have when you were dating? Well you can! You need to have a desire to revitalize your relationship and implement romance whenever you can. Remember when you were dating and you talked and did silly things. Most couples once they have tied the knot and have been married for a while, they seem to think that they don’t have to do those silly little things they used to do when they weren’t married. What they forget about is how special you both felt because that person went out of their way for them. Usually it didn’t cost a lot or nothing at all to do something special.
Romance is a little serious, a little fun and once in a while a little surprise. Mix them all together and you might get one big bang! Pun intended. Want to add a little fun and surprise to your relationship today? Well try this idea.
As soon as your spouse comes home after being away, walk up to them and give them a big welcome home. Then put your arms around them and request a one minute kiss. Plant those fabulous lips of yours on their mouth and proceed to give a great big one minute kiss.
My guess will be one of two reactions. They will either proceed to respond to you with that one minute kiss or there will be some laughing and a “What?” response. Now if you get the second response my recommendations is not to get mad, this is meant to be fun not to make you both angry. Start laughing along with them and continue to laugh. Your spouse may think you are a little crazy but that is OK. Isn’t love a little crazy too?
Let me tell you what happened to me when I did it to my husband. One evening when he got home from being out, I ran up to him and said “Welcome home sweetheart!” and then announced to him I wanted a one minute kiss. Well, he started laughing and planted his lips on mine but instead of it being passionate he started to count 1, 2, 3……….. until we were both laughing! Needless to say we both surprised each other in ways we did not expect. Every so often I think about our one minute kiss and have a big smile on my face when I do. There’s a good feeling about our relationship and neither of us spent any money for this special memory. Please don’t expect the same outcome as mine but remember to keep it light and fun.
Bring a little surprise to your relationship and keep the fun and passion in your life together. Ask for that One Minute Kiss! Let me know what happened.
Keep those sparks flying!

Last October I wrote about how making love has many benefits not only for your relationship but for your health. See “The Feel Good Exercise” on Oct 5th, 2010. Taking time to be intimate with each other has another health benefit besides the ones I mentioned in October that very few people know about.
Did you know being sexually active with someone you love can help to build more brain-cells? Stress and anxiety can lower brain-cell growth! So the next time you are feeling stressed or finding yourself getting a little forgetful grab your sweetheart and make love. Besides all the health benefits and a great workout for the two of you, making love helps the growth of new brain-cells! Who would of thought!
Bring on the passion tonight!
Keep those sparks flying!

Being prepared ahead of time for a romantic getaway will help to take the stress out of packing. Besides packing your basics, i.e. clothing and toiletries, have a box full of all the things you might want to bring along with romance in mind for you and your sweetheart. This is your go to box when you are in the mood for romance whether it is at home or an impromptu little getaway.
Fill a nice basket or decorative box with the goodies you always want to have on hand for a romantic evening:
[amazon_link id=”B003EH1F3W” target=”_blank” ]Classic Erotica Simply Sensual Vanilla Violet Massage Candle With Phermomones, natural soy, 4 oz.[/amazon_link]
[amazon_link id=”B001GR99MG” target=”_blank” ]M.L.F. Enterprises Sex Bubbles , The Bubble Bath for Lovers, 8-Ounce, Mango Madness[/amazon_link]
[amazon_link id=”B000H879MW” target=”_blank” ]Kama Sutra Massage Therapy Kit, 1 kit[/amazon_link]
[amazon_link id=”B000DZSZ6I” target=”_blank” ]Kama Sutra Massage Oil, Sweet Almond, 8 Ounces[/amazon_link]
[amazon_link id=”B00005YW4H” target=”_blank” ]Come Away With Me[/amazon_link]
Romantic Games (See “Dicey Love”)
Of course don’t forget to have pretty lingerie hanging in your closet ready for you and your sweetheart to choose from for any special romantic evening. And then there is always wine, champagne, beer or apple cider to consider having in your refrigerator or pantry to include for those special evenings too.
When you take the time to put all the things you need for a romantic evening in one spot you will always be ready for romance whether it is a night at home or a planned weekend away.
