• According to men,

romantic dinners at home still rate number one. Can’t cook? Order in from his favorite restaurant. Be sure to create that romantic mood with plenty of ambiance. Candles, good music and strawberries for dipping in chocolate will all set the mood.
• Show your man your interested in his favorite sport and buy two tickets to the big game. Take it one step further and create a gift basket filled with treats and sports memorabilia.
• Sweep your special guy away for the weekend! Try a mountain resort or a drive through
wine country. Stay at a romantic bed and breakfast.

  •            After a long day at work, try filling a tub with rose petals. Add candles and music for ambiance. Serve him his favorite champagne and follow up with a massage.
    • Engraved gifts such cuff links still rate high with men.
    • If your guy
    loves a good glass of vino, treat him to a basket filled with his favorite.There are many wineries that will ship them to you. Too expensive to order? Try your hand at creating your own and adding his favorite gourmet snacks, movies or CDs.
    • Plan a night of romance at home. Rent his favorite old movie or perhaps the first movie you two saw together. Add popcorn, the fireplace and you for an unforgettable evening!
    • Get him a pair of satin boxers from his favorite men’s store.
    • Try ordering a monogrammed robe with matching slippers.
    • When in doubt, cologne is a classic favorite.

  • Get to know everything there is to know .. about your partner. What are their hopes, dreams,  feelings, favorite things, fears, doubts, goals,  interests, regrets and thoughts. Stay in touch with  how these change over time and you will never get  bored.

  • Nurture your fondness and admiration for each other. Show affection, be playful, maintain your sense of humor, express appreciation and  make memories together. Recognize how you are a better person for being with your partner.

  • Turn toward each other regularly. Add to  your emotional bank account by sharing how  your day was with each other. Acknowledge the  another when she enters the room. Give the benefit  of the doubt, try harder to understand rather than  making your point, and be the first to make amends when a conflict arises.

  • Let your partner influence you. Couples who  respect each other’s opinions and are open to the others point of view, experience a gradual transformation toward greater maturity and  competence as individuals over time. Those who know it all, prefer to do it themselves and  would rather learn from their own mistakes, run the  risk of becoming isolated, embittered and negative about life. Who wants to live with someone like that?
  • True soul mates are those who began with all the unique mutual attractions couples initially have but  gradually knit themselves together in an emotional tapestry that results in bringing out the best of  them both. A masterpiece like this requires two  souls who are willing to be molded to achieve  God’s ultimate plan of fulfillment for their live.
