Ah romance. Just the mention of the word stirs the soul. Most of us want more romance in our lives. But we do tend to leave it to the other person, and then we get upset when they don’t do what we’ve telepathically told them to do. Why not try to take romance into your own hands? Here are a few easy and low cost ways to add romance to your life.

• When your significant other comes home tired, have the tub filled for them. How nice is that? Then when they are really relaxed, you can join them.

• Play your significant others favorite music to help them unwind.

• Back or foot massages are always a romantic treat.

• Take a long, slow walk together holding hands.

• Send a random email or text message, just something simple like “ilu” can make a big difference in someone’s day.

• When they are talking to you, really be there. Look into their eyes, and truly listen. Nothing is sexier than a person who’s paying attention.

• Rent a superromantic movie, like An Affair to Remember, Ghost, or Titanic. Watch it, and cry together.

• Get a friend to take the kids for a night, and offer to repay them by doing the same. With the kids away, have a nice relaxing meal, with lots of talking with no distractions. A simple meal is fine, because the emphasis here is on just being alone together.

• Have date night, even if it’s at home with the kids. Rent a movie, make popcorn, and be sure to have their favorite treat on hand.

• Don’t discount the value of a kiss. A long passionate kiss right before he leaves for work will ensure that he wants to come home quickly for more! And kissing at all times is always a good thing, especially when it’s out of the blue. Very romantic.

• Surprise them with a nice breakfast in bed.

• Ask them what they think romantic is, and then do it!

Try a few of these to renew the romance in your life. Have fun, and if you do it with the spirit of sincere love and romance, love karma will be on your side. Relax and enjoy!
