Scheduled Romance:
Sometimes spontaneity
is something that some people aren’t used and they avoid it
because they fear that it may cause quite a shock to their system.
If you feel like you aren’t ready to spring the romance on your
spouse or it might work better for your marriage to approach romance
in a more organized fashion, you can actually schedule romance into
your week. This method of romance introduction also works well with
people who feel that they are too busy to bother with spontaneous
romance. You most likely already have your calendar loaded with commitments
and reminders, so your romantic schedule should work out quite well
with your particular type of lifestyle.
Naturally, every week
begins with a Sunday, so your week of romance will begin on the same
day. Sundays are typically a ‘day of rest’ for many, but
that doesn’t mean that you must lounge around the house or park
your being in front of the television all day! Most towns and larger
cities publish their own guidebook that lists all types of attractions
for locals and tourists to visit. Your city might even have a web
site with this type of information. Find something you and your spouse
have never done or visited before and go together.
On Monday, celebrate
the birth of your spouse! It doesn’t have to be his or her birthday
in order to celebrate the fact that they were born. Find a book or
greeting card that lists all of the special events that have happened
on the day that they were born throughout history or find a list of
famous people who share his or her birthday. Also, you can find their
horoscope for the year, week, or day and present it to them as a birthday
wish. On Tuesday, make it an extra special good-bye when you leave
each other for work or other commitment. Kiss for a long time or enjoy
a nice long embrace. Continue to look back at him or her while you
walk toward your car or the door.
On Wednesday, play
the lottery or buy some of the instant win tickets that you must scratch
in order to win money. Let him or her know that you don’t need
any because you won the lottery when you met them. On Thursday (and
all subsequent Thursdays), you need to present your spouse with a
gift. Simply mark Thursday on your calendar as gift day.
On Friday, take the
time to reminisce about all that you have done together, whether it
is be looking through a photo album, watching home movies or simply
sitting together and talking about great memories. Be careful not
to touch on subjects that could lead to resurrecting hurt feelings
or bad memories (it’s okay to have them- just don’t re-visit
them during your ‘romance’ time). Avoid anything that
will remind you of arguments or of family members that cause friction
between you and your spouse. You can also take this time to get a
head start on Saturday’s romance mission of cuddling, touching
and enjoying each other more.
