The Top 10 Things A Man Can Do For The Woman In His Life To
Revive Romance Or Keep It Alive

Every long term intimate relationship takes WORK to maintain its "quality." It's natural over time for men and women to fall into the "status quo" or to take each other for granted. When the romance wanes, or to keep it alive, these ideas are offered for the man to help remind the couple of their "early courtship" days.(Forwarded from: http://topten.org/public/BB/BB33.html )

1. Send Her A Romantic/Love Sentiment Card Unexpectedly.

Sometimes the "just because" gifts, we give those we care about mean as much or more than those given on special occasions that are expected.

2. Arrange To Have Her Favorite Meal, Her Favorite Music, & Maybe Her Favorite Video, On A Night

Create the atmosphere that you know by now she loves, and make it like a complete date; the great meal, the right music, and a romantic comedy or film she loves.

3. If She Works In An Office Setting: Send Her A Bouquet Of Flowers For Her desk That Will Last A W

Include a card, letting her know you wanted her to have something lovely to look at that week at work.

4. Buy Her Something To Her Taste At "Victoria's Secret."

They have all kinds of helpful people there, and will help you put together a gift package that will be appreciated, romantic, and hopefully, used!

5. Arrange Your Work Schedules So That She And You Have A Full Weekend Off ALONE.

Take her to the nicest hotel you can, even if in town, and enjoy room service, good dining, indoor swimming, or whatever she wants to do. TV is optional.

6. Tell Her You Want To Shop With Her For A Special Present.

Take her to her favorite gift stores, or ask her what she really wants or needs. Shop with her patiently, and allow her to choose a gift which you tell her you would like her to buy which would remind her of you and how much you care for her.

7. Arrange An Entire Evening Alone.

After taking a bath or shower singly or together, give her good music, a warm, slightly scented oil body massage, good conversation, and whatever else she wants.

8. Write Her A Poem Or Love Letter.

If you can, compose a love poem, telling her how much she means to you and has meant to you. If you are less poetically inclined, write a love letter saying the same things. Allow yourself to be soft and generous in your praise of her. Use the kinds of words you know she likes and would remember from your first weeks and months together.

9. Ask Her To Plan A Weekend For The Two Of You.

Tell her you will go anywhere, do anything, and basically, cater to her and with her, for 48 hours. Hide the TV channel clicker, unless she loves television.

10. Remember That Actions And Gifts Are Nice And So Are Spoken Words.

Tell her daily, in terms of endearment she likes, how special she is to you, and how much you love her. Say it in the morning, by phone, by voice mail, while eating a meal, before bed, while helping her zip her dress in the morning before work. Any time's the right time for this one! Gifts are nice, and we all love to hear the words for additional reinforcement.
