Two Hour Romance
You’re both work 40 hours or more a week. You spend time with your kids, fight the good fight against traffic everyday, and manage to handle all of those unexpected problems that crop up. By weeks end you’re tired. No, not just tired, you’re too numb to do anything but prepare yourself to do it all over again. Oh sure, you have a few leftover hours free here and there, but definitely not nearly enough time to devote to your personal relationship, let alone sex life, right?
Wrong!!!

With only a little bit of effort and desire, you can give your love life a big, pleasurable boost. How little an effort? Well, if you can spare at least 2 measly hours a week, your can go from zero to sixty just like that! It’s true. Check out these 5 quick tips to learn how.
5 Quick Steps to Romance:
Before you start, please note the following: All list time frames can be adjusted
to suit.
Day 1.) Wednesday
Activity: My Treat Night
Time Frame: 15 Minutes
The schedule begins on Wednesday night (just a suggestion) because for most couples/parents, Monday and Tuesday are notoriously hectic. As the week progresses, things tend to settle down for most of us.
While family dinners do help us stay connected (if we have children), adult need together time just as much! Also, the 15 minutes listed for this exercise is an approximation for the ordering time, not eating time.
Since we all generally eat dinner anyway, doing so with your loved one should not stretch your schedule too much.
Suggestions:
· Take turns. If he picks up dinner the first time, she should the next.
· Keep it within budget. You don’t have to break the bank.
· Be creative. While you may love Chinese, must you always choose Chinese?
· Be open-minded. Maybe you won’t like sushi the first time (or any time at all). Still, can you really be sure if you never try it. Rejecting your spouse’s selections out of hand without foreknowledge can be as insulting as not giving him or her a choice to begin with.
Day 2.): Thursday
Activity: “Movie”/ “Play” Night
Time Frame: 30 Minutes
Okay, we know you’re not going to watch a typical movie in 30 minutes. This activity is named movie because those of you lucky enough to have the time, could in fact go this route. However, with the proposed time frame in mind, you should concentrate instead on sitcoms, books, games, the news, etc. We’re going for variety here.
Suggestions:
· Go outside of the box. Pick something new and different. You could choose to watch a new show, to read a new book or a section of the newspaper to each other, to discuss current events, to solve a jigsaw puzzle, etc.
· The fresher the idea, the more intriguing it will be.
· Expand yourselves. You can both learn more about yourselves and each other if you do.
Day 3.): Friday
Activity: Gift Exchanges
Time Frame: 15 Minutes
Who doesn’t have to go to some sort of department store, grocery store, restaurant, gift shop, etc. during the course of a the work week? Not to mention the amount of time we all spend on-line. It’s not necessary for anyone to spend two hours at the mall agonizing over a gift. Let’s aim for fun, amusing, cute, cuddly, sexy…you get the drift. Everyone likes to be on the receiving end of gift giving. For most people, it is the thought that counts.
Suggestions:
· If by chance you aren’t out and about, do a little online shopping. It’s not time consuming, the choices are endless, and you could actually buy a few things ahead of time to have on hand for the appropriate moment.
Day 4.): Saturday
Activity: Bath Time
Time Frame: 30 Minutes
Take turns and do it together. What can be more comforting and sexy as washing each other’s backs and…other parts?
Day 5.): Sunday
Activity: Kissing & Touching
Time Frame: 30 Minutes
At week’s end, a little affirmation can go a long way. Whether you’re curled up together, watching the game or a movie, snuggled up in bed later on, or stealing time after church or before dinner. Nothing is more intimate, more emotional, or more soothing to both partners than this…well, almost nothing.
Go ahead. For the next couple weeks try making the time to love by using these suggestions. As long as you both keep each other in mind, the romance will come as easily as breathing. Good luck to you both.
