When you have a quiet moment alone with your husband or wife, try a romantic game that I call I Love. I Love involves focusing on the wonderful things about your spouse and your marriage. Here is a very abbreviated example:
Jane: I love when you snuggle up with me on the couch.
Jack: I love being close to you.
Jane: I love when you snuggle up to me from behind.
Jack: I love holding you in my arms.
Jane: I love when you reach out to hold my hand.
Jack: I love how you greet me at the front door with a kiss when I come home from work.
Jane: I love the romantic notes that you leave me.
Jack: I love to romance you.
Jane: I love your enthusiasm when you play with the kids.
Jack: I love how loving and patient you are with the kids.
Jane: I love that you are such a loving husband and father.
Jack: I love the life we have built together.
Jane: I love you.
Jack: I love you too, Sweetheart.
The romantic game I Love involves taking turns expressing your tender love and devotion to one another. The key to the game is to share from the heart and be completely authentic. You don’t need to exaggerate anything, just tell your husband or wife what you truly love about them.
I Love is best played when you and your partner can adoringly look into each other’s eyes. You can play it at a restaurant after a wonderful dinner together. You can play it while snuggling close in front of a fire. If you’re sitting apart from one another in the living room, playing I Love is a great way to get an invitation to come a little closer. I Love can be played anytime you are alone and can concentrate on one another.
Playing the romantic game I Love is a wonderful way to share your love with your husband or wife. It is a great way to build love, stir desire and ignite passion in your marriage.

Romance Your Sweetheart - Write Her A Romantic Note
Does your sweetheart think of you when you are not with her? Here is one way to make sure that she will. Hide a short romantic note in a place where she will find it. When she finds your romantic note, she will think that you are sweet, loving, thoughtful and romantic.
1) To get started on your romantic note, you will need a 8 ½" x 11" sheet of paper. Using resume paper is a nice touch, but not necessary.
2) Take the sheet of paper and cut it in half. Then cut each piece in half again. A sheet of 8 ½" x 11" paper yields four pieces of 4 ¼" x 5 ½" paper.
3) Take one of these slips of paper and fold it in half. This will make a little paper tent.
4) Write a little teaser on the front of your romantic note to entice her to read what is inside. An example would be to write "Your love…" on the front and "warms my heart" on the inside. Another example would be to write "I…" on the front of your romantic note and "love your smile" on the inside. If you are having trouble thinking about what to write, think about what you enjoy about your sweetheart. Does she have pretty eyes? Then tell her so. Does her smile make your heart leap? Then tell her so. Whatever you write her, make it from your heart.
5) Sign and date your romantic note so she will remember when you gave it to her.
6) Once you have written your romantic note, you will need to hide it in a place she will find it. Now this has to be thought of with some sensitivity. If you place your romantic note in her purse, she will certainly find it, but you don’t want her to think that you have been going through her purse. You also don’t want to leave your romantic note where someone else will find it. A good place to hide the note may be under her purse. Another place would be to hide it under her napkin at a restaurant (for those of you who are impatient). You can place your romantic note under a vase of flowers that you gave her, on her computer keyboard, beside her bed or under her pillow.
7) When she finds the note, ask her what she thought of it. If she likes it, tell her she may find others from time to time.
8) Write down ideas for new notes as they come to you and write a couple of notes before each date.
Your sweetheart may find the notes, read them and leave them where she found them. From time to time, she will come upon a note that she had forgotten about relive the joy of your romantic gesture. Of course, that also means her mother might find one from time to time. Another good reason to make sure all your notes are sweet and respectful.

How To Write A Dear John Letter
Unfortunately, not every romantic relationship lives up to our early hopes and dreams. You can be with a truly wonderful man, but that does not mean that he is right for you. If you find yourself in that situation, you may decide it is time for you to end the relationship. Breaking off a romantic relationship is rarely easy. Breaking the news in person is generally preferred, but that is not always possible. Sometimes the physical distance that separates you does not allow you to tell him in person. Sometimes it is hard to get out the words that you want to say. In either case, you may decide to write a letter to allow yourself time to gather your thoughts and clearly express them.
A goodbye letter from a woman to a man is commonly known as a Dear John letter. It is often an attempt to break off the romantic relationship in a compassionate way. A Dear John letter generally does not blame him for the failure of the relationship, states that he is a good person and wishes him well in the future.
Tips on writing a compassionate Dear John letter:
1) Send a hand written letter. It is okay to organize your thoughts on a computer, but write out the final draft of the letter.
2) Consider carefully what you write. A goodbye letter may be read again and again.
3) Avoid writing anything negative or harsh. You do not want to have any regrets when the emotions of the moment have faded.
4) Be clear that the romantic relationship is over. Give him the gift of a clean break.
5) Mention how you have been struggling with the decision and that writing this letter to him is very hard for you to do.
6) Say you are not right for each other. This leads to the conclusion that the failure of the romantic relationship is not anyone’s fault and that the relationship can not be repaired.
7) Do not list his romantic shortcomings. He probably does not need to be reminded of them and it may lead him to believe, if he changes his behavior, the relationship will be restored.
8) Consider listing your own romantic short comings. This can reinforce that the two of you are not right for each other.
9) Be positive about him and his future. This reassures him that you still think that he is a good man and that he can find a wonderful woman who will fully appreciate him.
10) Do not suggest being friends. While this always sounds nice, it rarely happens. It may help you in your transition from a romantic couple, but it is often a burden to him.
11) Wish him well. This reinforces that you still care about him and think highly of him.
12) Just sign it with your first name. Do not sign the letter "Love, ...". This only causes confusion.
13) After you finish the letter, set it aside for a few days. Before you send the letter, read it again to make sure it clearly reflects your feelings.
When it isn’t possible to break off a romantic relationship in person, a well written goodbye letter is sometimes the best way to compassionately end the relationship.

Online Dating For The Shy Person
Are you a bit quiet in groups? Do you need to get to know someone a little bit before they get to see the real you? With the speed of life today, being slow to open-up can be a real problem in the dating world. If you have considered online dating, you may have shied away from posting your picture and a profile on a website for the whole world to see. If you are looking to find someone special, consider giving eHarmony a try. eHarmony has a number of strengths.
Privacy
eHarmony is wonderful about respecting the privacy of its members. You are unlikely to have a neighbor or coworker looking at your profile, because it is only available to your eHarmony matches. eHarmony allows you to decide when you share your picture with your matches. eHarmony also provides a way to communicate with your matches while still maintaining your anonymity. You can go so far as meeting a match in person without ever sharing your phone number, address, e-mail address or even your last name.
eHarmony Matching System
eHarmony matches their members based on 29 dimensions of compatibility found in successful relationships. You are matched with singles that can appreciate the person you are inside. The next step is to find out if the personal chemistry is there. eHarmony’s matching system also spreads your matches over time, so you will not be matched with fifty people in one day. This keeps you from being overwhelmed and allows to focus on a few matches at a time.
eHarmony Communication Process
The eHarmony communication process begins when you or your match decide to initiate communication. The steps involve:
- Asking and answering five multiple-choice questions.
- Sharing your Must Have’s and Can’t Stands.
- Asking and answering three short answer questions.
- E-mailing one another within eHarmony’s anonymous message system.
With other online dating services, you may end up wasting a lot of time coming up with a snappy e-mail just to get someone’s attention. With eHarmony, your time investment grows only after you have had a chance to determine your match is interested in pursuing the match further.
The eHarmony communication process allows your relationship with your matches to grow over time. With each step, you share a little more with one another. This allows you to slowly get to know each other and to become comfortable with one another.
With time, the anonymity of the eHarmony communication process allows you to relax and be yourself. Once that happens, you are in a great place to find a wonderful person who will love and appreciate you.
If you haven’t found that special person yet, they may be waiting for you at eHarmony.
