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.

Plan a day to pretend you are millionaires. Visit and tour homes you could never afford, test drive a Mercedes or Masserati and go to shops to try on clothes or jewelry you would never buy. End the day with appetizers and drinks or just Tira Misu and coffee with Grand Marnier and stay in that millionaire frame of mind as you try to imagine just how the rich people treat their lovers and partners. Of course, if you are a millionaire, do it up right!

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.
