Valentine's Day: How To Re-establish A Stale Relationship

Even Ozzie and Harriett if not the Cleavers, got bored with each other as the years passed. Of course we still love our signicant other but we are fed up with the day to day routine. Don't just rekindle the flame, or fan the flames, douse it with deisel fuel and make it burn bright! Valentine's Day as a way to show our love, a reason to try something different, and then make it a habit, a new way of life to change the parameters and depth of the relationship. I know from many interviews with couples that these ideas work and are a blast to do.

Touch her (or him). Whether it is going dancing or giving each other a "private gift certificate" for a mutual massage that night. Don't just write the certificates, do it. Or really go dancing, slow dancing, or both. Hold hands and walk down the sidewalk. A public show of affection, even a minor one, can help reconfirm what you both have known all along. Though you may both be a bit bored, you can change that, and that change doesn't happen overnight, but it can happen if you try this new behavior on one day. It may just become a habit.

Don't just make dinner, make haute' cuisine. If you are not a born-chef, get a cookbook or surf the net for some exotic dish. Don't tell your partner or spouse that you are planning it, only that you are going to cook because it is Valentine's day. They may be expecting a t-bone steak but this time try an exotic spicy ethnic dish, perhaps some wine, and candlelight with soft music in the background. If you feel uncomfortable in the kitchen, make a formal invitation to dress up and go out to an elegant little French bistro or Italian restaurant. Just make it fun and different than the regular routine meal. Watch her (or him) smile in amazement. Send a surprise gourmet lunch to your loved one's workplace. Order it over the phone, pay by credit card and send it from "A secret admirer". When your partner tells you of the gift, just give a mischievous smirk. They will understand. Then hug and kiss her (or him) on the cheek and say, "Happy Valentine's Day".

Wear something sexy underneath that evening, if you are a female, try a thong rather than your regular undergarments and perhaps a nice negligee over it (or no negligee at all, just the thong under your clothing). If you are a male, try some sexy boxers or bikini shorts. If you both love to laugh but forgot how, where something funny and sexy underneath. Of course, reveal this after your romantic meal while the soft music is still playing. There are several online stores that carry this kind of merchandise. Watch how fast this can bring back those old almost-forgotten passionate feelings. One caveat, take a deep breath, it can feel a bit overwhelming at first.

If you put forth just a little initiative, it can go a long way in not just rekindling a stale romance, but creating a whole new way of romance and showing that kind of love, can change habits, behavior and the way you feel about each other, very much to the way it was in the beginning.
