Second honeymoon

Lndzy13

Does anyone feel like they need a second honeymoon, or renewed romance, after two year of marriage??  There are no kids yet, but sometimes I feel like there is zero romance for us.  

Any recommendations for second honeymoons, especially prior to kids?

2nd, 3rd, 4th whatever! My husband and I just got married in August and we started going on honeymoons years before we got married! Vacations or little get-a-ways are great for relationships. You get to experience new things together and spend time with just each other. Its easy to get wrapped up in the waves of every day life. When you remove yourselves from your daily routine to do something new you appreciate it so much more and you appreciate the one you shared it with.

You have no kids, try to go to as many places as possible before you do. Enjoy life and most importantly, enjoy each other! Lots of resorts have "honeymoon" or "romance" packages to take advantage of. You don't even need to travel far. Just head out of the city to a place where both you and your hubby haven't even been. I am sure you both will rekindle that romance that brought you two together in the first place.

Umm, you only get one honeymoon. After that, it's called an anniversary. Anyway, no we don't feel like we need renewed romance but yes, we do go on anniversary trips every year. No kids here either.

Go somewhere fun you can afford.

What about California wine country? That's not far from you.

Why is there zero romance? IN the meanwhile, you pick up the ball - they need not be expensive surprises: cook his favorite dessert. Leave him a love note -- invite him ito the shower with you/jump in with him. You get it.:)

Never really had a honeymoon, but yearly for our anniversary we schedule trips to get away together.  If we are short on funds we try to pick places we can drive to.  Have you tried  more date nights to help renew the connection?

We like to take weekend trips. We'll pick a city and a hotel and then shut off the cell phones. We load up the car and enjoy just wandering around the city we chose, grabbing supper and heading to the hotel for the night.

It doesn't even have to be expensive

DH and I had only taken a short honeymoon after marriage and we planned on taking a second honeymoon later.  For our first anniversary we didn't have a lot of money so we went to a city a few hours away.  Just enough to get away and feel away.  We also took a game with us.  I purchased it from a Pure Romance party.  It was a lot of fun.  Maybe you need to try something to spark the relationship.  Try some new lingerie and surprise him with it.  You need to break the monotony that sometimes comes with life.  The OMG my bills are due and I don't get paid until next week and things like that.  Tell him you want a date night.  Pop some popcorn and plug in a movie and don't forget to turn of your phones!!!

I've only been married 3 months, but we have been together for 7 years, so I kind of know what you mean. You should go away to a bed & breakfst, or to a fancy hotel in a city nearby. That's always fun.Just taking the time to get away together from the daily grind always works for us.

Or how about trying something new, like a brazilian bikini wax?  They're awesome. Anything to get you out of your rut will help.

try just a date night, like every other saturday. Take turns planning it so it can be a surprise for one of you. Like others said, turn off you phones. Maybe try some new lingerie or candles in the bedroom for when you get home. 

The weekend getaway  idea is great , oo.

right after our wedding we went away for a few days, and planned a much bigger "real" honeymoon for our one yr.  We got back just over a month ago from 10 days in Germany...it was SO awesome...so much fun to be just us.  I have actually gotten sad some days thinking about how much fun it was over there...but thats all the more reason to do sweet romantic stuff here.  any day. 

I don't think you need to go on another honeymoon to add romance.  Maybe start at home, (talk to him about it too) write him a cute little note and put it in his coat pocket, make him a nice dinner.  Plan a nice little date night for next weekend.  Maybe even plan a mini vaca and drive like an hr away and spend the weekend in a bed and breakfast.  Just be creative.  

Before DH and I got married we did romantic stuff for each all the time, we lived nearly 2 hrs away. 

one night I printed off a picture of the moon, and cut out stars from construction paper, and hunt them up in my apartment, and we had a picnic under the stars, another time we made smores in his apartment and played board games.
