5 sure-fire ways to spice up your love life

Just about everyone would agree that a sumptuous dinner and a good bottle of wine at a quiet, intimate restaurant will set the mood for romance, but have you seen the price tag? Not everyone can afford to spend big money on romance frequently, but a little creativity can produce the same result without breaking the bank.

While most people know about ‘his and hers’ items like bathrobes and towels, there are other items that can fit into the scheme. Try matching T-shirts with cute sayings on them.  Have matching "his" and "hers" overnight bags, coffee mugs, and bicycles. Include cell phones, cars, holiday ornaments, tennis rackets, rocking chairs and even matching carved pumpkins on Halloween.

Surprise your partner by making the ordinary a little more special. If he or she is enjoying a good book, remove the bookmark and replace it with a note that says, “I bet you’ll never guess where I’ve hidden your bookmark.” If they always turn the TV on when they come home from work, tape a note on the television that says, “Wouldn’t you rather turn me on?” instead. 

Marking important memories is one way to be romantic on a budget. Challenge your partner to remember the most romantic kiss that you’ve seen in a movie. This will lead to some discussion about romantic kisses and should enhance the mood. As a surprise, buy that movie one day and try to recreate that special romantic kiss! Keep it in a special place and re-watch it whenever the mood strikes. If you can’t agree on the single most romantic kiss, go ahead and create a top five list. This tip works for anything. The top five most romantic songs or movies. and the  top five most romantic novels. You see the pattern.  Go ahead and buy the books, songs, movies or whatever so you can use them in the future.

 If you want to plan the ultimate romantic evening but funds are low or you simply don’t want to have to leave the house, shut down the electricity and blame it on  a power outage. You won’t have any distractions from the TV or radio.Nothing else you can do but engage in conversation and have supper under dim candle light. if it's cold weather, crawl under the blanket to keep each other warm.

It’s difficult to find anyone who doesn’t enjoy an Oreo cookie.  Take an Oreo (or generic version of one), scratch the top of the cookie until smooth and then scratch a heart and your initials into the smooth surface.  You can also make your own cookies and create personal messages.  Another version is to make your own cupcakes and frost them with special messages in red icing.  You can also give your spouse a true treat and track down a box of his or her favorite Girl Scout cookie.

These 5 simple ideas are guaranteed to warm up any relationship.  Try these simple tips and changes to “routines” to spice up your love life without spending a fortune!
