I'm Interested

Let me begin by apologizing to you all for not meeting up with the schedule, due to some unavoidable circumstances I could not publish this article on Saturday last week and I know that many of you were eager and expectant. I’m truly sorry, and I do hope that the content of this article makes it up to you.
So, valentine is just around the corner huh? Perfect timing! This particular post is dedicated to all the married couples out there, especially to those who are all in for love and romance, nevertheless, all you single guys and girls, still feel free to read through, as this would definitely come in handy whenever you are ready to tie the knot. “No knowledge gained is a waste,” they say.

Now, now, when I say add color to your romance I do not mean to do so literally, so no need to buy a box of crayons……. Well, not unless you think that will do you and your partner some good (…..in the romance department), if you think it will, then you could go on with that, you’d take full responsibility for the outcome after all, but, my advice would be don’t stop exploring your options. Now, you might be wondering what this article is all about, well, let me tell you;
“Marriage is hard work!” said some pretty young lady who got married about five years ago. Well, even though I just made that up, the point is that things could get really boring over time in marriage especially when the initial zest of romance wades away. And I guess this is the reason some persons go on and on complaining how boring and tiresome their marriages have become. Please guys, let me just say this, romance is a very essential part of marriage and by romance I am actually referring to the various ways love could be expressed; it is more physical than not. A lack of romance can sometimes or most times indicate a lack of love in a relationship. And when love is lacking, I’m sure you know the rest……it usually becomes a sorry sad tale.
So here are some fun things you could do with your spouse to add more color to your romance, and also note that consistency is key, so feel free to make a routine out of them;

#1 Feed Each Other- this might sound a bit awkward, but it actually works, you should try it with ice cream once in a while…..and hey! Loosen up, this is intended to help you and your partner relax as well as have fun together! And you are not too old, nobody is really too old for love, so do not say that this is totally bizarre because it is not, it is rather very romantic. Imagine feeding each other to a plate of homemade cooking, lovely, right? Yes! So please feel free to play around with food every now and then- this one’s a good habit to imbibe. It can loosen the tension you both are prone to feel from the pressures you face at work, and even at home, especially with kids around!

#2 Host a Movie Night- this one is for movie lovers like me, yes, so if you both are into movies, you could make it a habit to see a movie or two at least once every week. Remember, my advice would be to keep it simple, so you do not have to visit a cinema all the time to accomplish this, make use of some blinds at home, turn off the lights, and then turn on the TV, treat yourselves to popcorn, drinks and a movie or two. Choose a time when there’ll be no interruptions, night time could work, but if you have to leave for work very early in the mornings on week days, then limit this practice to weekends only.

#3 Play Games- now ladies, I know most of y’all would be saying, “…….no, no and no, gaming ain’t my thing,” and all, but think about this, which is more important to you, your relationship? Or your list of do’s and don’ts? If you are choosing your relationship over the other then you are making the right choice. And come to think of it, there are very numerous games you could play together, just make some effort and you’d be surprised to find something out there that you both would love to play together. And guys, please be considerate, you do not need to drag your wife into some extreme sport all in the name of having fun together, if this doesn’t appeal to her then figure out what other options might work.

#4 Go Watch The Game- soccer, basketball, baseball……whichever, it would be nice for you both to see a game together. Although I know very many women who’d shy away from this, nevertheless, I also know some who do not and I can bet you, it is helping them a lot! You know how they say that most men are recreational beings, so ladies, try to be more understanding of your partner’s need to see his sport, and better still, join him as much as you can, it gives you both more bonding time.

#5 Cook Together- you didn’t think I was going to leave this out I hope? For women who love to cook, having their partner helping out in the kitchen is a booster. We just love it! And even though you do not have the slightest idea what to do in the kitchen, perhaps just sitting and talking with her would do a whole lot of good. My point is, couples should try as much as possible to get engaged with each other, and there are very many ways to do this apart from the obligatory coital responsibilities. That’s what this article is all about.

#6 Buy Gifts for Your Partner- no, it doesn’t have to cost you so much, just be more thoughtful. For instance, your wife might be needing a new hair brush and as is likely the case, it may not even have occurred to her that she needs one, so do her the honors, gift her with a new hair brush and please go all the way- wrap it all up, it allows for more curiosity! And ladies, please do the same, men could be such workaholics all in a bid to cater for you and the kids (if any), that they forget to take care of themselves! So make it a habit to exchange gifts. And there are many ways to play around this. You should try the ‘game of clues,’ and here’s what I mean by that; you can write short notes/clues on a piece of paper and leave them lying where your partner is sure to find them; ensure that these clues lead your spouse to where his/her gift is and that’s it!

#7 Do Your Work-outs Together- oh, so you want each other to stay fit, healthy and attractive? Well, what better way to do this than to do it together? In my opinion, a morning jog together would be very helpful! And although you both might want to register at separate gyms or fitness centres, you should still make out time to engage in some forms of work-outs together. It sure helps, as each partner would be left feeling encouraged to do better in the fitness department.

#8 Shopping- somehow, when two people become married, the woman automatically takes on certain roles and so also does the man. For instance, most women would take on the responsibility of grocery shopping, whereas most men would be responsible for shopping for the household electrical appliances. Whatever the case may be, going shopping together every now and then would be a plus to you and your spouse. The mere feeling of being seen together in the act would give you both real good sensations. So try it out, especially for this year’s Valentine.

#9 Eat Out- so you’re getting tired of the whole eating at home routine? Well then, the solution is quite simple- eat out! Book a fancy or not too fancy restaurant, whatever you can afford, and make your order! And while doing so, feel free to engage in a conversation, but please guys, not a serious conversation, unless it is of course, entirely necessary. You could talk about the food, the restaurant or even the waiter (***winks*** not that I’m asking you to gossip though…)

#10 Make Good Love- and last but not the least, love making! Yes, I could not possibly leave this one out. If you’re married, there’s no crime in it. As a matter of fact, sex in marriage is meant not just for procreation but also for the pleasure of both partners. So please, do not ignore this aspect of your relationship and neither should you treat it as something that is negligible, because it is not! Feel free to learn new things that could spice up your sex/love making life. And if need be, visit a sex therapist, and if you really do not want that kind of publicity then you should get your mobile devices to work, there’s so much information on the internet these days. My point is let your love making be about making ‘love’ it should not just be a mere routine. Have fun and keep trying out new things that will tickle your fancies!
And here is my bonus tip 👉 DANCE- yes, play a song you both love and enjoy and waltz/dance together, could be in the house or outdoors, whatever works best is fine. Or perhaps, you could play a steady slow song or beat during your l💗ve making sessions, this will do you a lot of good in that department, so I've heard! (**winks**).

That’s it guys! That will be all for now and I’ll be sure to write again to you this week Saturday, since this article was meant for last week. Enjoy your Valentine! And remember guys, it's a February for Love on ElmaDavid Blog, so be sure to trend love and spread love this season.
