As we approach our 15th wedding anniversary, my husband and I are started to make plans for a fun week enjoying each other’s company. Whenever our anniversary comes around, I think about how things have changed since we first said I do. My step-daughter was 3 years old, we paid $365 a month for our 2 bedroom apartment, and neither of us had grey hairs. Now she’s 18, add a grand to that rent price, and let’s not talk about the places grey hairs are popping up. Things have changed over the years, but sometimes in marriage things stay the same. Like intimacy and romance – sometimes when you’re married, it can get boring if both people don’t exercise their freedom to be spontaneous to keeps things spicy.

As a women, it is important to feel confident enough to address issues when it comes to intimacy with your spouse. After children, as we age, or as the action becomes intense, sometimes we dry up a little bit. It’s OK and it’s normal, but it can be painful and embarrassing. Feel empowered to make use of what’s out there that can assist with that – like K-Y® Liquibeads®, a personal lubricant for women.  I know, I know – this is not the easiest thing to talk about, and it may be even harder to walk into Target and purchase. But as a grown, married women, I’ve learned to not be bothered by what the cashier thinks about what’s in my basket once I leave the store. It’s all about what me and my husband think once I get home from the store *wink*. And a $1 off coupon always helps – get yours here from Coupons.com.

husband and wife cooking in the kitchen

candlelight dinner for two

One thing that my husband and I do is cook a romantic dinner together. We talk about what the menu will be, do the food shopping together, and tag team with getting everything prepared. This gives us a chance to spend some time together, show a little PDA, and pick with the cashier at the grocery store – that’s our thing. Laughter is so romantic! When we get home and it is time to start cooking, he cleans up the kitchen to make sure everything is ready for me to starting cooking. While I’m working the stove, he’s over my shoulder trying to sneak in a kiss. Then he sets the table, we light our favorite candles, and break out our favorite plates and silverware. After we enjoy a delicious dinner and drinks, we watch a movie (or sports) cuddled up on the sofa until it’s time for bed.

This works for us because it takes things that have to be done and that we do often – like food shop, cook, and eat – and makes them moments for romance and intimacy. Sometimes we get so caught up in the every day and the mundane that we forget that this is still valuable time being spent with our spouse. If we take these opportunities to ‘try a little tenderness’ it can open up the door for some spontaneity in our marriage.

For all my married readers, what do you and your spouse do to take everyday moments and give yourself the freedom to be spontaneous?
