Valentines Day Romance Tip #2: Post It Notes

Place post it notes around the house with short little "I Love You's".

Use them to:
- Invite her on a date > "You and me - 7PM....details to follow."
- Give a corny pick up line > "If I could rewrite the alphabet, I'd put U and I together." (making her smile is good).
- Reminder her that you're glad she's your wife > "I'm SO glad I married you."

Put the notes in strategic places...on her mirror, in her car, on the coffee pot or other places that she is sure to notice them.

Don't be afraid to express yourself. "I just wanted to remind you that I LOVE YOU."
So often our conversations are about the daily routine, chores and tasks. We forget to express how we feel. This is a simple, easy way to remedy that.
Have fun. Let me know how it goes.

Valentines Day Romance Tip #1: Breakfast in Bed

Valentines Day is on a Sunday this year, which means you will likely have a bit more time together in the morning.

The night before, write a note asking her to please stay in bed until you return. When you get up, leave the note, a single red rose, and a Valentines Day card on your pillow. That way, if you wake her up as you leave the room – or if the smell of coffee arouses her senses, she’ll (likely) stay put until you return.

This is pretty simple. You will have thought ahead and picked up the breakfast foods that she enjoys. You go to the kitchen make coffee, prepare the breakfast, put everything nicely on a plate for her and carry it on a tray to your room.

Note: It doesn’t matter what she likes for breakfast – even if it is just cereal, you can make it and bring it to her. Even if she doesn’t like breakfast – bring her coffee and a smile and you will get the same results.

The focus isn’t on the food, it’s on the service. By surprising her with breakfast in bed, you are showing that you are thinking about her even when you may not be expressing it outwardly. You are showing that she is important to you.

Come prepared to sit next to her and start the day off with some quiet time and good conversation.

Survey Says...Romance is Missing

In a survey done in 2008 by Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide, 76% of the 1001 adults surveyed said that wanted more romance. (That's 3 out of 4).

Just over half of the respondents (52%) said that romance is missing from their relationship. When something is missing – it’s gone completely. Romance’s picture is on the side of milk containers in far too many relationships.

Here’s a key point to the survey. A vast majority (83%) of the people surveyed say that they want to spend more time together.

They say that the key to being successful in business is to see a need and fill it.
Well, if we apply that principle here - there are two needs that must be met.
Increased romance and spending more time together.

With Valentine's Day just over a month away, now seems like a good time to explore some practical ideas for meeting both needs. Over the next few days, we'll do just that.
