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.

Gather smooth stones from your neighborhood, or buy a bag of colored glass or colored stones from a craft store. Use indelible marker or 'colored white out' correction fluid to draw shapes on the stones, a different shape for each color to color code them, or write a single word on the stone – like the old-fashioned valentine candy hearts.

Whenever you want to remind your partner of your love, leave a stone on the kitchen counter, under her pillow, in the bathroom sink or on their desk at work, in a briefcase or suit pocket.

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.
