If anyone can give me some advice on how to make my husband more romantic I would so appreciate it. We have been married for 10 yrs on the 7th of June and it seems he has lost the romantic, passoinate side of him. When we was dating and about a year or so after we was married, he would write me notes and tell me he loves me and do romantic things, but now its like oh, well whats the point. It frustrates me to know end. Any tips, suggestions! Tammy

i really cant answere this question but it intrigued me. I also have this problem but i cant really remember a time when my hubby was romantic. I mean you would think he was at some point for me to have fallen in love with him right? Anyway we have been married 6 years now and we have no romantic anything. When we are intamit it has to be quick cause of the kids. So i too will keep my eye on your discussion to see if i can get any tips as well. Good discussion. Thanks

Yes, that is my problem also. when we are intimate its quick either because of the kids or to tired or whatever else may be the reason at the time.

This may not sound exciting, but maybe you need to take matter into your own hands. Plan your own romantic get away. Let him know how you expect him to dress and act. Take a weekend to go out of town and stay at a nice resort or hotel. Eat in a fancy restaurant and then go to a club or movie. When you return to the hotel have your dream wedding night. Do not allow him to turn on the TV the entire weekend. Show him how romance can be between a man and a woman.

Thanks, that is good advice, the only problem getting him away for anything is like pulling teeth. But I will try anything!

My hubby and I hit this bump in the road a few times in our relationship. 1) start dressing up like you did when you were dating - make-up, sexy outfits, sexy lingerie, perfume, etc. Whatever you did to tempt him when you were dating - do it now. 2) keep candles and "mood music" on hand, and when you want to have a special night with him either send the kids to a sitter (an over-night one, like grandma) or put them to bed early. Next make a special dinner for just the 2 of you. OH - if you can't send the kids out, fix them something they rarely get to eat so they feel special too, and will be more agreeable about getting to bed early :) 3) serve your dinner with your mood music and candle-light - then head to your bedroom for some quiet time. Another thing to do - just have a shower together. Lathering each other up is very sensual, and will usually lead to more. Make dates with each other - have a date night once a month (or more often) and make it fit into your budget. Maybe trade off with a friend - you'll watch their kids one night a month for them to have a date night and they can watch your kids one night a month for you to have a date night. If you really want to make it happen, you'll find a way. And once you've begun to entice him all over again, he'll start courting you all over again. But it's a 2 way street. You both have to work at it or it'll never work. Good Luck!
