  • Flirt with each other. Flirting isn't just for couples who are dating or newlyweds. Those special glances, stolen kisses, and suggestive comments to each other in passing keep the fire burning. It is such an easy way to make your partner feel wanted and it keeps things fun.

  • One way I spice it up is by cooking with just an apron and heels on. He loves that and usually can't wait for dinner to be ready. :)

    While he's on his home computer listening to music, I always turn his chair and dance on his lap. He goes crazy for that!

  • Massages always put us in the mood.
  • I did a boudoir photo session before our wedding and made him a photo album.  Once in awhile, I will surprise him by putting on one of the outfits from the photos.  He is always surprised!

  • We try to have sex in places other than the bedroom.  If any of us want it right then and there, wherever it is, we go for it!  It's been fun, "christening" the different rooms of the house.  Spontaneity is the key for us.

  • We try to go out at least once a month on a real "date" .. get dressed up, order a bottle of wine, etc.  This puts us back into dating mode and spice things up a bit.
  • Usually we hop in the shower together, that always gets things going!

    The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
  • I send him messages all day about what I want to do to him when we get home. By the time we get home we are both ready to go.

  • Sexy text messages while we are apart from each other!
  • Sex dates are great.  Gives you something to look forward to when a long day won't seem to end.  Definitely adds to the excitement level.
  • We usually set aside time to relax and enjoy each other's company non-sexually first: going out to dinner, going to a movie, flirt with each other, enjoy a drink and conversation. By the time we are done, we are both relaxed from our work stress and definitely enjoying each others company and our evening. This makes it very easy to focus on the bedroom 

     The keys to our sizzling success are love, relaxation, open-ness, and  having fun.

    2. For us flirting with eachother works well. Flirting after we got married become a lot more suggestive and it never fails to turn my hubby on. Walking in while he is taking a shower works great as well. I guess my biggest thing is, never ever stop having fun and romancing the other. Even when things get hectic, and you are tired sex is a great pick-me up activity for us!

  • I'm firewife9278, and my husband and I are always striving to make sex a priority. 

    We've been TTC for going on 2.5 years. It's rare that we are able to make sex a fun and relaxing time for ourselves; too often, it has to have a purpose and a specific time ... if sex is even in the mix.

    We've had to become inventive by trying different areas of the house and have even resorted to going to a hotel for a night here and there. We once even dragged our futon mattress into the living room and "camped out" for an entire day in the middle of the week (gotta love sick days!). It was fun and lighthearted and free, while treatments are expensive, hotels are expensive and all of it is stressful.

    I think the best thing for us is just remembering that we're in this together. The struggles have made our marriage stronger and brought us closer together, and honestly, sex with a purpose isn't all that bad. Winning a trip to paradise wouldn't be bad either of course! Maybe our miracle souvenir would even come our way :)

  • When we haven't been active in bit, I'll send him a dirty little text message during the work day. This will usually initiate clever innuendos back and forth. By the end of the day, we can't wait to be in each others arms.

  • We often find ourselves overtired by the time bedtime rolls around, so we get busy first thing in the morning.  It's a great way to start the day!

  • We try to find time between our hectic schedules to just have some alone time. Even if it doesn't lead to sex, it at least gives us a chance to talk and reconnect. 
  • I surprise him wearing something sexy, it always works!
  • Texting Steamy Hot Messages, Suprise him with Lingerie, and just reminding each other at times how sexy we find each otherBig Smile

  • It's easy to get into a rut in the bedroom, especially if you've been married for a while. We keep things interesting by switching things up. I surprise him with new lingerie, toys for the bedroom, or a romantic smelling candle, and he suggests trying a new position to get us in the mood. A new twist to an old routine always gets us revved up again!

  • We flirt like crazy...tickling, massages, really just about anything.
  • I like to surprise him by wearing lingerie when he comes home from work.  Sometimes he'll walk in the door and I'll callhim upstairs by saying that I "need help with something" and when he gets upstairs, I'm waiting for him with my lingerie, candles, etc. Othertimes, I'll make and eat dinner in lingerie and make him wait for it :-)
