Summer is almost here, the days are heating up.
Don't get stuck in the rut of having nothing to do
with each other this summer. Heat things up with
these exciting low-cost ideas to spur on the instant
romance!
Eat out - Not in the usual way! Make each others
favorite foods, take along that chilled bottle of
champagne, some strawberries and splurge in the
park. Take along that portable cassette or CD player
and listen to soft romantic music. After your
romantic picnic lay in the sun and bask in the rays
and the company you are keeping. Don't forget that
sunscreen! There is something ultimately sensual
about laying on the ground in the warm sun while
your sweetheart caresses your body with his hands!
Dive in - Go to a remote beach where there is almost
no one that visits and take a quiet swim together.
Not only will you find yourself unwind, but you will
remember all of the times when you had done the same
things while dating. This can turn into quite the
romantic interlude so make sure that the beach isn't
busy!
Get messy - Working outside together, whether it be
mowing and raking the lawn, planting your gardens or
putting a fresh coat of paint on your fence can be
the ticket for fun and romance. Forget about getting
messy, the wash can wait till later. Surprise him
with a douse of the sprinkler when he isn't looking
and watch the excitement grow! This is a guaranteed
way to get interactive!
Get off of the couch - Leave the couch potato in you
till the winter and explore the beauty in what is
blooming outdoors! Stroll around your neighborhood
holding hands and just be together. Holding hands is
something that many married couples no longer do.
Touching is key to feeling at one with the other. If
he isn't comfortable holding hands, don't worry! Let
your time together be what pulls you closer!
Swing a little - Not that kind of swinging people!
Let the monkeys loose! There are parks everywhere,
but guess what? Parks aren't JUST for kids! Have
some fun together and don't worry about who is
watching! Whether you are swinging on the swings or
going down the slide let go and let the romantic
nature of each other blossom!
Grab the balloons - Have a water balloon fight,
preferably in a "dark" t-shirt so your neighbors
don't have more fun than you! Get soaked and have a
blast! Another great idea for a water fight is to
invest in water guns. Play tag at the park and see
who comes out the most drenched!
With all of those ideas I think that one of the best
ways to be romantic while fun is to let loose of the
inhibitions that we hold each day. You don't need to
worry with your husband! He knows you and the
spontaneity that will elevate from you will be
enough to get him going. There is enough stress in
our lives and these ideas are a great way to learn
to get back the "life" in your relationship. You
don't need to spend huge dollars to have a fantastic
summer, just the two of you and some fabulous ideas!
