Romance in your marriage is a two-way street. If you are trying to revive some romance in your marriage, let your wife know what you are trying to do and enjoy the creative process together.

It is important to know your partner well enough to know whether your changed behavior will be a pleasant surprise OR just perceived as odd or unusual behavior.

Rent a limo and pick up your wife. dressed in your finest to take her out for a surprise evening. If you can’t afford the limo, ask a friend to drive you in a rental car OR pay to have the car washed and to have you driven around throughout the evening date.

Bring a camera and take pictures of the places you go and of the two of you in the limo or ‘rented car’. Bring a bottle of wine or champagne along as well.

You certainly don’t want to FORCE your wife to do anything she does not want to do! And, if you are really trying to put romance in your life and IF you are sensitive to your wife's preferences and desires, you should have no problem convincing her that you will both enjoy this process.
