Rekindle Your Crush on Your Husband Tonight

 

Rekindle Your Crush on Your Husband Tonight
Love comes in countless forms. There's your burning love, your tender love, your true love and everything in between. So, how great are things in the romance department?
Before you answer, ask yourself:

• Do you (still) have a pet name for your husband?
• Do you two kiss at every hello and goodbye? Lips or cheek?
• Which of the following are you looking forward to curling up with tonight: A book? The couch? Your laptop? Your husband?

OK, so maybe the romance isn't as hot as it once was. The same is true for most couples as their relationship matures. Want to rekindle your crush on your husband tonight? All it takes is some willingness and a touch of imagination. Try putting one of these plans into action — in your own special way.

Connect as a couple.

Build up your mental and emotional intimacy. Spend 20 minutes of uninterrupted time together. Engaging in intimate conversations can help inspire feelings of passion.

Make him anticipate.

Here's a hint: Drop hints. Find time during the day to compliment your partner, or say "I love you." Refer to the night ahead when you'll be alone together. And keep him on his toes — perform one small, unexpected gesture.

Make time so you can take your time.

A rushed evening will feel less significant to both of you. Buy time to unwind together.
• Order delivery (or eat on paper plates).
• Have coffee — even espresso — with dinner. Stay up late together one night.
• Hire a baby sitter for a weeknight out.

Set the mood.

While music and soft lighting are great, the focus of the night should be you. You might put on a fragrant lotion, or take a shower late in the evening before settling in together. Think of one way you could set the scene in a different way than you ever have before.
