This month is all about love.  Valentine’s Day is coming up and love is in the air!   We aren’t opposed to Valentine’s Day but we certainly hope that you are showing your partner love all year long…every day…not just when the stores and advertisements say you should.   We recommend you get started now, instead of waiting until the 14th.  Here are some tips that can show your partner that love is indeed in the air:

  1. Know your partner’s love language.  If you don’t know it or know what we are talking about, then we recommend the book, The Five Love Languages, by Dr. Gary Chapman.  Dr. Chapman explains that there are five love languages or ways to show love:  words of affirmation, gifts, quality time, physical touch, and acts of service.  Problems can occur when we show our partner love in one language (i.e. buying her flowers) but he/she speaks another love language (i.e. wanting to spend quality time with you instead). 

  2. Start secretly showing love for your partner in small ways every single day using their love language.  Have fun trying to think of new ways to express your love.  For some ideas, see # 3.

  3. Remember, expressing love for your partner does not have to cost money!  Write your partner love notes and hide them (of course, where you know they will find them).  Give your partner lots of hugs and kisses when they first wake up, when they get home, and before they go to sleep.  Tell your partner the many reasons why you love them.  Write them a love letter or poem. Do one of their chores each day, etc.

  4. Plan a surprise “pleasure event” every week for your partner.  For example, how about surprising your partner with a bubble bath with rose petals, candles, soft music, and a glass of wine?  Or maybe cooking a nice dinner for your partner and serving it to him/her naked or in sexy lingerie?  Plan a romantic picnic on the living room floor while listening to your special love songs or reading erotic stories to each other.  How about surprising your partner by trying something new sexually (i.e. a new toy, a new position or a new sexual fantasy character, etc.)?

  5. Remember to be thankful for your partner every day!

Wishing you more connection and much love!

Last month, our article was 5 Tips to Ignite Passion in your relationship.  Each tip offered just a sample but could be a full course meal, so to speak, all by itself.  Thus, over the next few months, we will be covering each of these tips in more detail.  This month we are focusing on ways to seduce and flirt with your partner daily (not just when you want to have sex). 
 
But first, lets define the words seduce and flirt.  To seduce means to entice, tempt or persuade someone into a desired state of being.   (Sounds like fun, huh?)  And flirt is defined as a casual, playful romance.  (We like that too!)  Now, why is it that flirtation and seduction seems so effortless at the beginning of the relationship but as time goes on…they are only done as a prelude to having sex?
 
For some people, seduction and flirtation is an art and is considered equal to, if not better than, sex.  So, this month’s challenge is for you to seduce and flirt with your partner more often…more specifically, every day.  Here are 5 ways to help you get started:
 
1.  First, you’ve got to get yourself into the seducing/flirting mindset.  . Your view of yourself is going to have a major impact on your behavior.  So, start thinking of yourself as the “Seductive Temptress” or “Don Juan.”  Play with this role and have fun!  
 
 2.  Think back to the early days of your relationship, when you were dating and courting each other.  How did you let your partner know you were into him/her?  How did you behave?  Make a list of these behaviors and start doing them again!
 
3.  Tempt your partner by dressing the part.  Don Juan or the Seductive Temptress is not going to be wearing sweat pants, t-shirts, and flip flops, etc. on a date.  So, next time you are out with your partner (or are having a special night at home), dress in a way that sends the message, “I want you to be attracted to me”. 
 
4.  Entice your partner nonverbally. Convey your sexy thoughts of your partner with your body language.  For example, try to communicate “I want you” with your eyes only.  Gently rub your partner’s arm or lightly touch their face. 
 
5.  Don’t just think it…say it.  Tell your partner your sexy thoughts about them.  Let them know what’s on your mind.  Give them real, not generic, compliments.  For example, instead of saying, “You have a nice smile”, tell him/her why and what you specifically like about his/her lips. 
 
 
Remember, have fun and enjoy!  As always, wishing you more connection and passion!  Please feel free to contact us with topics you would like us to address.
          
Many blessings!
