Do You Make Good Music Together?

When I asks the question do you as a couple make good music together, I am not talking about starting a band.  I wonder how your life flows together.  Does your rhythm and harmony work well with each other. Do you seem to be in sync with one another on a constant basis.  While I know that no relationship flows perfectly, I invite you to look at your flow.  Are you normally flowing together and in a blissful state or do your worlds seem to crash together and never mesh.  There is always room for improvement in your song.  Take some time today to think about one thing you can do to create a wonderful harmony in your relationship.  It might be as little as adding one more kiss into each day.  If the both of you do this each and every day, the song you two share will improve each and every day.  

Remember practice makes perfect or at leasts gets you closer to it.

When Is The Last Time You Were The Dirty Couple?

When we are a couple we are usually more worried about keeping clean.  We clean the house, we shower our bodies, and we keep our cars as clean as possible.  When is the last time the two of you got dirty together?  I am not talking about sex at this point, but when is the last time the two of you did something where you both got filthy?  Getting dirty together in this manner can be a really good exercise for you as a couple.  Look around there are many ways to do this, you can go out next time it rains and find some mud to cover each other in, or there are many muddy events that you can participate in.  Heck I even saw a tomato fight the other day where everyone was covered in red smashed tomatoes.  The point is to experience a different feeling allowing yourselves as a couple to let loose, get dirty and have fun.  You can always clean up later.  I will tell you this too I bet after you experience this fun and see your partner at their dirtiest, when you get home and get cleaned up you might just find that you are getting dirty all over again in a much more sensual way (wink wink)

Drinking In Your Relationship

Alcohol can be a major problem in relationships.  Alcohol can destroy a relationship, and most of us have seen it happen to someone we know.  This post is however is about another way alcohol can affect your relationship, and that is in the bedroom.  Many people believe that alcohol lowers inhibitions and allows you to be more open sexually.  This my friends is not the truth.  Sure a drink or two might help get you in the mood but alcohol is a depressant.  It will eventually do the exact opposite.  To much alcohol will affect your performance in a negative way.  Many people find that they become unable to perform sexually with to much alcohol.  Plus it numbs the entire feeling of the sexual events.  So is is my humble opinion that you should skip the alcohol and actually enjoy the feeling of the sexual experience as it is meant to be.

Just Shut Up

In a relationship some times you just need to let your partner talk.  If they have had a bad day or a bad experience maybe you just need to let them get their feelings out.  Once they get how it made them feel out in the open they will most likely feel better.  However if you keep trying to offer suggestion or your opinion then they might not be able to get it all out.  This is where your listening skills come into play. SO...

Just Shut UP!

Today BE Too Sexy!

The one hit wonders Right Said Fred may not of had a very long career as musicians.  However their song, "I'm Too Sexy" has had a lasting impact.  So today I challenge you to be too sexy, what do you think about that?  Let your fun side out a little today and go a little overboard on acting sexy.  Do a seductive dance, wear something that you know will turn your partners head, or just put on this song and see what happens.

 

It is also a great day to find a Sexy Challenge that you love and perform it with your partner.  This goes right along with this song.  So maybe you are too sexy for your pussy, my pussy cat.  

Find our more about Sexy Challenges by searching for them on iTunes, Amazon, and Barnes & Nobles Nook page. 

Make Shift Sex Toys

When we think of sexy toys in our relationship, we generally think about purchasing them from an adult store of some kind.  Be it the over the internet or a shop in our local community.  However you have many things at home that you can use as sexy toys right now.  There are many things in your house that can enhance your mood for sex.  Think about it that beaded necklace and how it would feel to have it rubbed across areas of your body.   What about those extra pillows you have on your couch, could they help create different angles for amazing love making.  I know you have heard us talk about this but what about that exercise ball, how interesting could that be in your passion tonight.  Even a scarf can be used to restrict the hands of your lover.  If you don't think you have sex toys around your house then you are not being creative enough.

As a word of caution however never insert anything into your body that doesn't have a flared base.  Use items in your lovemaking but be smart about it.  Don't use items that might irritate your body inside or out.  If in doubt don't use it better safe than having to explain at the hospital how that item got where it is at.

Are you giving your partner enough appreciation?  Does your partner work hard, give you support, are they a great lovers, do they bring amazing romance to your relationship, these are just a few of the reasons to appreciate your partner.  In today's society I don't think couples appreciate each other enough, not say they don't love each other but that they don't take the time to realize what their partner does for their relationship.  Today is a great day to start appreciating your partner, sit and think about all the wonderful things he/she does and then make sure to celebrate them tonight.

Something About Chinese Food

There is something romantic for me about eating another cultures food.  Maybe it is because we don't get it very often or maybe because it is a little more mysterious than what we are use to. As a couple I am sure you have your favorite kind of food, that you like to enjoy together.  I think this is wonderful but I encourage you to break out of the mold and try something different.  If you normally look for Mexican food why not try Chinese food on occasion.  I am not for sure but their is something intimate about those little boxes the Chinese food comes in.  I know it took us many years to get up the nerve to try Thai Food and you know what now it is one of my favorites.  

I feel different foods can create a different mood and trying something new in the area of food might just get you to try something new in other areas of your relationship!  Plus while many of us are afraid to try food we have never had because of the way our bodies might react to them.  But, what if our bodies had a positive affect from the food.  Maybe that food you haven't tried is an aphrodisiac for you, wouldn't that be nice to find out.  So make a date night to try something new as soon as possible and keep your fingers crossed that you find the food that makes you feel a little more amours.
