A Hammock, Now That Would Be Romantic

One of the most romantic places you can be is together in a hammock.  Swinging back and forth suspended from the gourd with just ropes and wood, in the warm summer sun.  The beauty of the hammock for lovers is that the way it is designed you can't help but be close to each other.  This will also allow your bodies to relax put this hammock by the beach and you have a match made in heaven.  

Why not think about getting a hammock to place in your back yard this summer.  Instead of lounging around inside the two of you can take your snuggling outside.  Allowing you to get some fresh air and take in some beautiful sounds and scenery.

Moving Your Love

Things happen in our life that change our location.  We recently had to pick up and move on the spur of the moment.  While it wasn't fun and the days were long the important thing we realized was that the easiest part of the move was moving our love to our new location.  With each box we packed our love grew stronger and with knowing that we had no support in our new location besides each other it grew stronger.  Now I am not saying that moving could help your relationship but it might not hurt it either.  

Yabba Dabba Dooooo

Did you know that the very first couple shown in bed during prime time American television history was Wilma and Fred Flintstone.  What a scandal that was I am sure.  I mean come on really to cartoon characters in bed, I am sure the American Public was all up in arms with the notion that Fred and Wilma were having sex?   Yabba Dabba Doooooooo.

Isn't is sad still to this day it is easier to see someone killed on television then to see a couple that are in a serious relationship in bed together.

The Couples Spot Changes Homebase

For the past 3 years The Couples Spot has been coming to you form the middle of Indiana.  Now we are changing location and getting fresh and clean air to help improve our posts and ours and your relationship.  The move will place us just outside of Denver Colorado.  

Sad Fact : 4 Minutes Is All Most Couples Get

It is estimated that between work, kids, internet, hobbies, sleep, and home and family responsibilities that the average couples spends an average of only 4 minutes alone together each day.

This got me thinking and I know that we spend more than that alone together.  However, I challenge you today to make note of the actual time you spend together alone.  You might be surprised how little time alone you are together.  Once you figure out how much time you have to enjoy each others company on a daily basis talk between yourselves and see what you can do to change it and allow more alone time for the two of you.  Maybe you stay up a half hour later, or plan out nights you can use a babysitter to help the two of you gain some alone time, or even just get out of the house and sit outside while the kids are playing inside.

Sure if you don't have kids it is easier to spend time together but why wait until the kids are grown and gone to start this habit.  Heck with only 4 minutes a day by the time the kids are grown you might not know each other at all.  Take the time today and start making the shift, this act will also help start you kids in the right direction for when they enter into a relationship.

Peace and Love,

Today is Cinco De Mayo which is Mexican Independence Day.  Much like our July 4th in the United States this holiday hold much importance to the people that have Mexican roots.  Since, Mexico is one of our closest neighbors why should we not celebrate with them.  Go all out today and celebrate. Whip up some wonderful Mexican dishes, play some mariachi music, and have fun dancing together.  Together you can make this Cinco De Mayo and every one going forward a fun and festive day even if you don't have any ties to Mexico.

Make Laundry Day, Fun Day

There is nothing more mundane than doing the laundry.  For starters you are never finished as soon as you get it all done you realize that the clothes you are wearing are ready to go into the wash at the end of the day. So unless you are doing your laundry naked you still have laundry to do.  As a couple however you can take this chore and add a little zest to it.  Working together you can get it done and put away faster and enjoy doing with these simple little additions.  Try so music put on some music and both of you dance around as you fold and put away the articles together.  Another option could be to get a movie and while enjoying the movie together put the laundry in front of you to fold.  Make a game of it pretend the washing machine and dryer are basketball goals and the clothes are the basketball and see how far way you can get and still throw the laundry into the machine.  While laundry isn't most couples choice of the way to spend time together you can chance it up an make it fun.  Oh and if you want to make sure you get all the laundry done why not do it naked, together!

One final note if you go to the laundry mat they kind of frown on you being naked while you do your laundry :-o

Sexual Healing Day in Washington DC

On this day in History 1973, Washington, D.C. declared it Marvin Gaye Day.  Maybe the government of this country actually knew how much sexual healing was needed.  Far and away the song Sexual Healing  by Marvin Gaye is one of the most sexy songs ever created.  Why not download a copy of this song and listen to it with your lover and see what happens.  Listening to the smooth voice of Marvin and the beat of the music might just allow the two of you to have a little sexual healing yourself.

Royal Wedding One Year Ago

Last year T-Mobile celebrated the Royal Wedding a little differently :)  

This kind of a party - filled with laughter, letting go, and being real - 

should last throughout all of our relationships.   

Isn't it time we put it back in place.  Sing, dance, laugh! 

Have a great time with your friends AND your partner.
