When people get married they do not expect to take thier loved ones for granted. Yet, it happens, it is the human condition to do so. We feel secure and too comfortable, we forget, we take advantage. People in all relationships tend to take others for granted. We get secure and comfortable the more trusting we become of them. This is why we may lose people in our lives. We have to be aware and shift our consciousness so that we do appreciatte and let that person know we care. Here are a few tips.

Plan date night. Whether it's a movie, or dinner at a restaurant. Make a special night just for the two of you.

Cook together. This is not only fun and exciting but very theraputic.

Take drives to no-where. Plan the day and time and just go. It's spontaneous and something to look forward too.

Get massages together.

Take baths together. On cold windy evenings, there's nothing more romantic than a candle lit bathroom with the two of you in a bubble filled tub! Grab the wine and let go.

Do something romantic. Write a poem, pack thier lunch with a love letter, make them heart shaped cookies. Send flowers.

Play games together. Make a plan once or twice a week for a board game night. It's fun. It's a way to forget troubles or stresses of the day and just enjoy eachother's company.

Take yoga. The couples who do yoga together, stay together. Connect through soul, mind and body by incorporating poses to ease muscles and tensions. In partner yoga, you touch eachother a lot and as you breath together you become more intune with eachother's needs, that's sexy.

Volunteer together. Whether it's a soup kitchen on a holiday or prmoting a cause at a fair or walking for a cure. This is one of the best things you can experience together. The energy of people around you helping others in need, it's rewarding in itself. When you do good you feel good. Feeling great together can lead to other wonderful things.

Do something thoughtful. Pick them up a sensual scent or that tie or soap they wanted.

Have dinner by candle light.

Make out on the sofa or in the car like when you first started dating. When you stop at red lights, remember how you grabbed the chance to kiss, do it.

Having your own interests. You do not have to hold hands 24-7. Having your own interests
makes a marriage stronger. having your own interests mean that you have something interesting and original to bring to conversations.

Share eachother's interests, even if you try it only one time. It shows that you want to share with your partner.
