Send a wonderful email.

Here is a great little thing you can do to start you partners day out right. Sit down and compose a romantic email to them. Spell out all the things you love about them. Keep it clean and romantic explaining why you fell in love with them and why you continue to love them more and more each day. This can become a habit and will brighten your partners day. Spell out why you love them put it in your email and you might just be met with kisses when you get home.

Independence Day

Independence Day stands for a lot of things here in the United States and our freedom is the most important. America was build on the fact that we can do what we want and feel comfortable expressing ourselves. So I want to start today by thanking all the people through out our history that made this happen. I enjoy being able to blog and not worry that someone is going to come up and say to me you that I can't do what I enjoy.

Relationship independence is also something you need to have in your life. Do you have things that you enjoy doing outside of your relationship? Maybe it is hanging with your friends or having some alone time. Either way make sure to find time for you to have some independence. Use it to make your relationship stronger, so that you have things to talk about later in the day. Don't use it as a time to break your commitment with you partner or to do things that might jeopardise your relationship. Go golfing with you buddies but when they start being obnoxious towards the opposite sex, don't join in. Have fun but remember you have someone at home that you love very much.

Valentines Day is Coming!

If you are unaware, it is only about 2 weeks until Valentine's Day is here. This is one of the most important days in as far as a relationship goes. It is a day you are suppose to show your partner how much they mean to you. The last thing you want to do is forget and have to pick up some lame gift on the spur of the moment. So today is the day you need to start figuring out your Valentine's Day gift. If money is no object to you then a trip, jewelry, or tickets to a great event are a wonderful idea. However, just because you don't have much money to spare doesn't mean your off the hook. Low on cash, just means that you have to be more creative in your pursuits of the perfect Valentine's Day gift. You could writer you love a poem, or create a fantastic meal for them. Silly things like planting love notes all over the house or decorating your bedroom really show that you are into your partner. Set up a romantic night for your partner will all of the things mentioned above. Make it a scavenger hunt have them run all over town picking up things you would need for your surprise, then when they get home with the goodies have them relax while you get everything ready.

Valentine's Day is a day that is high on the intimacy charts. Don't forget to plan some special love making into your special day. Wear something sexy or lay out something sexy for your partner to wear, put cologne or perfume on and make sure they get a good smell of you. Lastly be provocative make sure they know your intentions, then get wild and crazy when you hit the bedroom. Try something different or something you don't normally do, but your partner loves. The special feeling you get form giving your Valentine their special gift will be one of the greatest feelings you can have. Get your paper out now and start creating your special and memorable Valentine's Day.

Ready yourself for the Big Day.

Tis the day that Santa comes and you need to make sure you have everything in place. Do you have your special presents for your partner ready and wrapped? Is the mistletoe hung on the headboard of your bed? No other holiday is as focused on family as Christmas. Take the time and enjoy being with the person you love this Christmas and if you have children bask in their glory as you snuggle with each other and watch how excited they are. With the coming of Santa tonight marks the quickest time of the year, soon it will be tomorrow and all the presents will be unwrapped, so slow it down a little tonight and spend some time kissing and snuggling around your Christmas tree, just make sure you are in bed in time for Santa to come.

Appreciation Day

Appreciation is something that we take for granted. Think about it for a minute, how often do you thank your partner for what they do? We all feel like we do so much and the no one can possibly do as much or be as tired as us. Run through your partners day sometime and see how busy their day is. I am sure once you go through everything they do, you will see that their day is just as busy as yours. We need to appreciate their actions and what they do, sure we can sulk and say, "Well they don't appreciate what I do." That however will only lead to neither of your appreciating each other. Break the cycle and give them a big kiss the next time they take out the trash or cook supper. If you have trouble finding something to appreciate them for all you have to do is think of something they do that you don't have to. Things such as chores around the house or doing something for you children maybe it is something as little as letting you sleep in a little. I am sure that once you start looking you will find a great deal of things to appreciate your partner for. Kisses and saying thank you are great ways to show appreciation, if you want to do more you could set up a sexy little evening for your partner, or get them some tickets to their favorite show or sporting event. Taking them out of a wonderful date would be great for any appreciation. Now the next time you want to criticise them about something think about all they do for your relationship and forget that negative thing a focus on a positive one.

Enjoy your Labor Day!

Just a short quick note to everyone viewing from the United States. Happy Labor Day, I am sure you have been working very hard and hopefully you have the day off. For those of you who's professions have to work today I commend you as your job must be very important. Doctors, guards, professional baseball players etc. Hope you get the time off you deserve at some point and time. If you are off today spend a little extra time with your sweety this investment will pay dividends at a later time.

Spend a day together just having fun!

Okay we have a holiday coming up here in the United States. Labor day is Monday and I want the two of your (and your children if you have any) to spend the day only having fun. No working no chores just pure fun. Find someplace to go or a cookout and enjoy the day with your partner. Take a walk, ride a bike, get out in the sun all this things will help bring you closer together. The chores and work will be their when you get home and you can work on them tomorrow. But for today just have a much fun as you possibly can.

Here are some suggestions : The Beach, an amusement park, geocaching, bike riding, hiking, have a cookout, go to a cookout, play in a softball tournament, go golfing, fishing, or bowling, take a stroll through the city, Take a long drive, the list goes on and on and on so you cannot tell me you can't find something fun to do for one whole day.

Skip Lunch Together if it nets you more time later.

One thing a couple can always use more of it time. We always want to try to have time to go to lunch with our spouse. It is usually a hurray up eat and get back to work situation. Well here is a novel idea. Why not skip lunch with each other and all together? Think about it this way if you brown bag it to work and eat while you are working and get off an hour earlier, wouldn't that be a better use of your time to spend with your honey. Instead of breaking your time together up into little tiny segments why not have an extra hour at home together during the night? You will also be saving money if you are not going out to eat all the time. Plus with an hour extra with each other you can do some of the things you seem to never have enough time to get accomplished. If your having trouble trying to fit your sex life into the picture now you have an extra hour! If you take the whole hour that is a great use of your extra hour.

Seriously though if you break it down at the most you are spending maybe a half hour to forty-five minutes together during you lunch. Plus you are spending time ordering and maybe talking to someone else that you know. Wouldn't that hour be much better spent alone with your family or partner? I think so.

Sometimes a Hug is All You Need!

Sometimes a hug can make all the difference in the world. Have you ever had a bad day or just a day when nothing seemed to go right. Maybe you have done some things you thought were helpful only for them to be perceived differently by others. These are the type of days that you just want to crawl back into bed. This is where the hugs come in. Sometimes we just need a hug to get our day going back in the right direction. I personally don't think people hug enough, not in relationship or just in general. Next time your partner is having one of those days where it seems like he/she is about to blow his/her top. Just walk over to and give him/her a great big hug. No words just squeeze your partner like there is no tomorrow. I think he/she will get the picture.

Afternoon Delight

Most of us thing about making love in the evening or in the morning when we wake up. We are missing an important time frame however. The Afternoon is one of those times that we don't think about as often as being a romantic time. One time I think the afternoon ends up being sexy is during vacations, if the two of you are alone on vacation it seems like a great time to get naked, maybe you have been to the beach all day and before you get ready to go to dinner, you have, well, a little afternoon delight. Then you get up and get yourself ready for dinner. Obviously work schedules have a great effect on doing anything during the afternoon. Let alone having a little wind ding. Make yourself a promise to get busy some afternoon with your sweety it changes up your whole day and gives you a little spontaneity to your love life. If you need to imagine you are on vacation.

Don't let grumpy people bring you down.

Have you ever been out with your partner, having a great time. When someone grumpy brings you down. It never fails, either someone is jealous or they just hate seeing people happy. How do you handle those situations? You first response might be to get mad at them in return. That only gets you hot under the collar. The thing to do in my opinion is to smile and say something polite to them and walk away. You don't want to ruin your time together and you definitely don't want to let this grumpy person get the best of you. By saying something nice to them you will throw them off their game. Try it out the next time you run into this grumpy person. Smile and say "I hope you are having a wonderful day" or "Do you need a hug" most likely they will walk away and not say anything. Maybe just maybe by doing this and not ruining your day you might just improve their day. Being nice in contagious so try it out today.

Be Sexy all Day long.

You know being sexy shouldn't just start when you hit the bedroom. You should get your partner ready all day long. Yes, it is okay to tease them if your intentions are good. Kisses their neck, rub your hand across their butt, or just wink at them from across the living room. Let them know that tonight they are going to be one lucky person. If they respond a little to much on the attack side, tell them to slow down they will get what they want. They just have to be patient. Make this last all day and when you finally get them in the bedroom take your time there also. Slow it down to a crawl. Yes, you will be driving them wild but it will be so worth it for both of your when you get there.

You can put sex into anything you do you just have to think about it a little. Eating a hot dog can drive your man wild, playing with a woman's hair is a real turn on, walk out of the shower naked and surprise them or just tell them how sexy they look today. Let them catch you looking at them. This not only should get you feeling horny but it should also make your partner feel very special. You can find many ways to be sexy by going to the amazon sight on the sidebar and purchase some of the books I have marked.

Fathers Day or as I like to say Family Day.

Happy Fathers day to those of you who are fathers. Hope you day is as enjoyable as the day your bundle of joy was born. Being a father carries so much importance. You need to be a good role model for you children, and you need to provide and care for them. Yet, in my opinion being a father is one of the greatest feelings in the world. To have a child look up to you is one of the best feelings in the world. You need to celebrate this day with you spouse to because without your family fathers day isn't the same.

For those of you who don't have children I don't have much for you today because I am basking in the greatness of fatherhood.

Time to Honor Our Hero's

Yes ladies and gentlemen Iwould like to take a moment to honor all the brave souls living and decesed that protected our great country. I am very proud to live in the USA and think everyone who lives here should be also. So today as a couple you should do a littel research and see how many of your relitives severed in the armed forces. You can also do this for your country if you live outside the USA. No matter what the cause or effect these people were hero's to stand up for their country. Find out how many members of your partners family served their country and maybe you could even find some old pictures of them to copy. Your children or your future children might get a kick out of seeing them later. While I don't agree with the acts of war I do agree that these people should be honored.

So today the message is short and simple for The Couples Spot. Just be proud of the people that have protected your great country. As your at your Cookout today remember this is not just a time to eat and be with friends it is a time to remember.
