"A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous."   - Ingrad Bergman

A kiss is probably the most physical and emotional display of love.

A kiss on the cheek is appropriate when you know she is feeling down, and wants a little time to herself. This lets her know that you are not trying to "pressure" her into something she doesn't feel like doing. It lets her know that you sincerely care.

A wonderful way to get the spark started, is to affectionately kiss your lovers hand that you are holding while sitting in a movie, watching T.V., or on a romantic stroll through the park. This lets the other one know that you are feeling affectionate, and could be a preliminary to "play time."

A great display of affection is to kiss your partner on the lips, gently, and slowly  for a period of no less than 10 seconds. This is a very intimate kiss, but try not to get carried away, if in public, and try to caress your partner's tonsil's with your tongue. A lot of women feel this is something that should be shared in those moments of private intimacy. 

Once you are in the stages of passion, the "french kiss"  is extremely arousing. But remember - try to follow the reactions of your partner - observe their response - before you start "tickling the tonsils" - turn the passion and arousal around.

Take time to enjoy each other's company.

Make every effort to become each other's best friend.

Share your dreams with each other. Don't keep them to yourselves, thinking your partner should know them. I know of very few, if any, people that are mind readers.

Forgive each other quickly of their mistakes. NEVER go to bed mad. Regardless of how angry you are, forgive quickly, and never sleep apart.

Tell your partner, "Drive safely please. I love you!."

Give each other hugs at least twice a day.

Take time to meditate and/or pray together.

Spend time with other happy couples - it might just rub off on you.

Go to a dance instructor and take dance lessons together.

Be the first one to say "I'm sorry" after a disagreement.

Respect each other's need for quiet private time.

Take long moon-lit walks on the beach, or through the park, while holding hands.

Make your anniversary celebration an all day event. If possible take the day off from work, and celebrate your love all day.

Make time from your busy schedules for a second honeymoon or a romantic getaway.
 
 

Do something he would probably never expect - Send "Him" flowers! 

Spend intimate time with him. NO television, no telephone, no computer, just you and him. 

Always respect him. Respect is one of the things men treasure the most in relationships. 

Touch him affectionately: put your hand on the small of his back, run your fingers through his hair, using your fingertips, lightly trace the inside of his forearm. 

Tell him he is "handsome," "rugged," and "strong", try  not to use "cute." 

Surprise him with a candle-lit dinner. 

Tell him that you feel safe when you're in his arms. 

Encourage him in whatever he does--sports, work, whatever. 

Watch sports with him, even if it isn't your thing. 

Forgive him when he messes up. 
 

Make a cassette tape of your and her favorite love songs, then record (in your voice) a special, romantic message at the end!

Write her a poem (See our Romantic Poetry  for inspiration) 

Leave little notes around telling her things you love about her. 

Let her rest her head in your lap. 

If she's feeling stressed out, give her a massage and help her work out a better way to do things. 

Let her wear your clothes. It's almost guaranteed she'll look better in one of your button down shirts  than you do. (Kind of sexy too!) 

If she makes dinner, offer to do the dishes. 

Always be a gentleman--hold the door for her. 

Give her the same respect you enjoy from her. 

Make an effort to get to know (and if you can, love) her family.
