Make Some Money As A Couple

Most couples could use a little extra money.  Wouldn't it be nice just to have extra cash to go out and eat on or take a vacation without dipping into your finances?  Problems however come in as you try to find time to do this.  Putting extra time into a part time job doesn't allow much time for your relationship to thrive.  Well what if the two of you find something you can do together to achieve this extra money?

There are countless numbers of things the two of you could work on together that are very simple.   Things such as having a garage sale, mowing the neighbors lawns, or doing simple repairs.  If you keep an eye on your local paper some people will pay for simple help and advertise in the paper.  Other things you could do would be create crafts, candles, or paintings to sale at local festivals.   Use you creative side and have fun together while you are doing this.  

You might even be able to find something using technology to achieve this extra money.  What ever you find if the two of you can enjoy doing it together that extra money will be even sweeter.

Give Your Partner The Bird

Okay we all know what the middle finger raised alone means.  Does that have to be an angry gesture?  Sure people use it for when they get cut off in traffic and when they want to express distaste for others.  However could the F**K YOU term attached to this gesture be a term of endearment for your lover.  Maybe you can flip the bird to your partner when you want them to f**k you and that isn't a bad thing in this case.  The two of you could turn this into a fun little way to express your desire for hot and passionate sex instead of the anger that is attached to this gesture normally.  Can you imagine your partner giving you this sign from across the room and while everyone else things they are mad at you, the two of you know that a fun time is in store for the two of you.

Mothers Day

The Couples Spot would love to wish all the mothers out there a special thank you for the love you bring to this world.  Being a mother isn't something everyone can do.  The amazing part is how being a mother is a bond that can be a strong as steel.  Yet so soft and warm that it becomes a special place for those within it's arms.  Take the time today to send special love to all the mothers in your life.  Be it your own personal mother or the mother of your children, let them know how truly special they are.  

Improve Your Relationship With a New Mattress

Okay when is the last time you got a new mattress.  I was checking the weight on our mattress for shipping the other day and realized that over time your mattress gains weight.  Dust and your own skin work into your mattress to the point that it can actually double in weight over 10 years.  With that fact, how old is your mattress.  Once I figured that out we ditched our mattress and bought a new one.  Think about it how important is the area where you spend your time in slumber, and doing things that are sexy and intimate?  Now how important is it that you keep that mattress fresh and clean of dust and skin fragments.  Do you want to be making love to your partner on a mattress with the equal amount of weight of skin and dust. You will also get a better night sleep and your love making will be better on a more comfortable mattress.  So in essence a new mattress will improve many things.

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,
