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.

If you are up to it, you can take some dance lessons together. This is fun AND romantic and it will give you the exercise you both need.

After you graduate, you can go out dancing for an hour or two – whatever you feel you can handle – and then settle in at a table near the dance floor to share a cocktail and watch the other couples glide across the floor. You can even request a favorite love song to be played by the band or group providing the music. And a dedication to your love would not be a bad idea either!

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.
