Romance Ideas For Marriage

A Night to Remember:
This is a perfect idea for celebrating an Anniversary together. Start by booking a room in a nice and local hotel, but don't tell your spouse just yet. Earlier in the day, stop over to the hotel with a box of memories from when you and your spouse had first met. Spread the memories all throughout the room. If it is anything like what we have, it would be enough to cover the entire room. You can almost make a trail starting with the earlier days and leading to the days that you were married.
That night, tell your spouse that you have something special planned for your Anniversary and then take him to the hotel. First off, he will think, "what a wonderful idea", but will really be surprised when you both walk in to a room full of your wonderful memories. Believe me! You will spend hours sharing a lot of beautiful times spent together. Doing something like this is almost impossible to do at home because there is always, interruptions and being in a hotel room alone together certainly can be romantic in itself.
This will truly bring back some of the feelings that you shared when you first fell in love. What will most likely happen as you continue to read through old love letters and look at other memorabilia, things will slowly start to "heat up" and it won't be long before you'll be making more memories to add to the box!

Lights at Night:
Get a white mosquito net large enough to hang loosely over your bed. Get glow in the dark starts of all different sizes, tie some to the bedroom ceiling, using all different sizes so some look closer and some look further, and then stick some all over the net, using different sizes, to get the same effect as above. Sprinkled petals over bed and the floor leading to the doorway, so it's romantic from the first step in. Put candles around the room, careful not to be too near anything flammable, different size candles would make more of an effect. Try using scented candles also, try and find something sensual and seductive as this will enhance the mood and the atmosphere. If you prefer, use plain candles, and get some scented aromatherapy oils. Turn light off before your husband walks into the bedroom. You can start all the above with a nice dinner before heading to the bedroom, put rose petals around the house, lounge, dining room and candles everywhere.

Let Your Fingers do the Walking:
Never underestimate the importance of touch in your marriage. The way that you touch your spouse is so different from any other touch that you experience with other human beings. Whether it is a long stroking massage, or a game of using your fingers to spell words on each others backs, your touch will resonate between you for life. Just remember that a soft touch can speak volumes, so let your fingers do the walking!

Day Spa:
Make a date with your husband at a local day spa. We did this last year and enjoyed it tremendously. We had a massage together, which was great! We made full use of the wet & dry saunas and also the couples shower. I highly recommend going to a day spa.

100 Reasons Why I Love You:
On a romantic weekend away I gave my husband several gift bags over the course of the weekend. Each gift bag had it's own theme. The gift bag I had prepared for him for our romantic Saturday night included a small box with 100 different coloured paper hearts that I printed "100 reasons why I loved him" along with a letter I wrote him on beautiful stationary paper. The box still sits in his office. A reminder, of another wonderful weekend.

Romantic Bathing For Two:
Bathing together is, in my opinion, a romantic indulgence. The degree of togetherness and closeness you share with your partner during this time is nearly unmatched by any other romantic moment. A romantic bath can ease away a stressful day, make a wonderful "I'm sorry" or an incredibly sensual "I love you."
Making the most of this romantic ritual can light just about anyone's romantic fire. So, the next time you want to do something special for your partner, or are feeling a bit disconnected with each other, indulge in a romantic bath for two! Gathering essential ingredients...The two "can't do without" items you will need are, candles and some type of bubble bath. Scented candles are the best option.
Try to find aphrodisiac type scents like jasmine, rose and lavender. When choosing your bubble bath, keep in mind the scents you've chosen for the candles and what type of effect you want to create. Do you want it to be a more refreshing interlude? If so, choose spa type bath treatments in rain or similar type scents.
If a sensual bath is what you're after, choose stronger more robust scents similar to sandalwood, or try lavender or a rose scented bubble bath. For a fun romantic bath, use fruity scents like watermelon, peach or berry. The next items are not "essential" but will help provide the ultimate bathing experience. Start your bath off with a toast for two. Keep your wine or champagne chilled in a bucket nearby. Help set the mood with romantic music. Use a bath sponge or mit to wash each other. Use extremely soft towels to dry each other off with when you're done. Get a removable showerhead. Splurge on a really great shampoo and conditioner.
While you're bathing... What you do while you're taking your bath together can mean more than the actual act itself! With this in mind, here a few ideas of romantic things you can do together. Each suggestion can be modified to be as sensual as you wish.
Start by taking turns washing each other's head. Make sure to deeply massage their head while doing this. Take turns washing each other. While you're washing each other, stop and place a few kisses here and there on your spouse's body. Be comfortable and confident with yourself.
There is no wrong or right way to be sensual or romantic. Doing what comes naturally to you both is always the best experience. Treat your partner as if they are royalty. Spoil them with indulgences. While you're washing them, gently give them a sensual massage. Anything you'd absolutely love to have done to you, do for them. When you're done, rinse each other off with your removable shower head, or in a shower.
Take turns drying each other. Complete the moment by having a plate of romantic finger foods and your glasses of wine or champagne ready. Then, in between feeding each other, blow dry and brush each other's hair. If your romantic bath has taken place in the evening, end the night with a sensual massage or cuddling together in bed with a romantic movie. Enriching the experience...Add a new dimension to your bathing experience by using the following romantic ideas! Laminate a love poem or love letter and hide it in the bubbles for your love to find! Engrave an invitation to your romantic bath on a heart shaped bar of soap with a toothpick.
Leave it out underneath a folded washcloth somewhere your partner will find. Add rose petals to the bath for a romantic touch. Enhance your often-unused senses by agreeing to not speak to each other the entire time. Communicate instead by touch and emotion. Treat your love by getting "his and her's" terry cloth robes. For the ultimate experience, reserve a suite at a luxury hotel nearby that has a whirlpool bath or hot tub for two!

Romantic Dinner with Children:
As my husband's birthday was approaching during the middle of the week, I wanted to do something special and different involving our children. I decided to make our house a restaurant. I printed out a beautiful Menu that included a special Appetizer, Entree, Drink and Dessert. We all dressed up very fancy, had candles lit up including the fireplace and soft music. When he rang the doorbell, our daughter being the eldest greeted him "Welcome to Sandy’s Restaurant".He was absolutely amazed! We treated him as a special guest that night. He thought the menu was a hoax but to his surprise it was real. He loved it! Not only was it original, but it involved our children as well. We laughed, cried and I accomplished another special memory for our marriage.
