Celebrate the love you feel for your husband this Valentine's Day by
going out of your way to make it just perfect. It doesn't have to be
expensive or complicated; rather, a successful Valentine's Day
results from thoughtful planning and paying attention to the small
details that you know matter to him.
A great opportunity to remind one another of the love and
companionship you share, Valentine's Day gives you the chance to do
things differently for a day, to shake out the humdrum of everyday
life. So, seize the opportunity presented by Valentine's Day to warm
your husband's heart.
!! Steps !!
Be the one to do the wooing. The traditional treatment of
Valentine's Day carries an unstated but usually honored belief that
it is the man who does the wooing and goes out of his way to make
the occasion special. Make a change by taking charge and wooing him
instead. It'll surprise him and he'll enjoy it.
Plan a surprise. Romance is just perfect when it's unexpected. Make
a plan as to what you'll do to surprise him, such as having flowers
sent to his workplace, packing him an empty lunch and then showing
up with his favorite lunch food, or taking him somewhere for the
evening that you know he really enjoys, such as a restaurant, the
movies, a walk on the pier, or a ride in the fairground. Do all of
the planning so that you're not at a loss for what to do and so that
you can make bookings or buy tickets in advance if needed.
* If he usually does the Valentine's Day preparations, you will need
to subtly let him know that you've "taken care of things" this
year. Don't let on; just tell him to be ready. Another excellent
way to forewarn him is to produce a formal invitation with a
general, mysterious invite to "spend the day/evening" with you and
to ask him to be wearing/bring whatever you feel is appropriate.
* If you'd like to surprise him with dinner, focus on what he has
said he likes.
Build it up. If you're planning a date, you might as well build it
up. Leave a note and picture of the two of you in his car the day
before saying you're excited. Wake up Valentine's morning and start
getting gorgeous immediately. And do something different with
yourself, like wearing heels or a ponytail or curls. And if he
doesn't notice, assume he thinks you're beautiful all the time,
whatever you do!
* _ Do all the driving Offer to take care of everything_ on
the day. This means paying, driving, organizing, the lot. You're
giving him a day off love duty, with his only responsibility to
enjoy the loving and to be loving! But don't emasculate him by
blocking his efforts; if he prefers to drive, for example, he
won't find it romantic to be forced to sit on his hands in the
passenger seat.
* Dress up so you feel at your best Dress up. Where
appropriate, dress up as much as possible to make it a really
special occasion. Obviously, if you're horse riding or surfing the
waves, you'll need to consider clothing changes but for the formal
and dressy parts of the date, look your best. Taking care to
remind him of how stunning you are is only one part of the
dressing up; it's also about feeling your best and about showing
you care enough to make the effort for a special occasion.
Be spontaneous; be playful. For one day put all your
responsibilities out of your head and put your husband at the top of
the list. Think back to how things were when you first dated and try
to recreate the thrill of initial romance when daily cares weren't
interfering the way they do now. It's one day of being dates again!
* If you have kids, get a babysitter. It's a little hard to be
romantic and spontaneous when the kids are hanging around asking
questions and pawing you with chocolate stained fingers. A
suddenly frisky mom can be confusing! Free your inner child by
letting someone else take care of your kids.
Do something that makes your husband blush. There are some things
that only he should ever get to see and this can be used to your
advantage when thinking up ways to surprise him. Some ideas include:
* Get a fake tattoo somewhere really private. Make it something
meaningful like his name or a special secret the two of you share.
If you're feeling really wild, make it a real, permanent tattoo.
Or suggest the two of you get one together!
* Get a nude photo portfolio taken of you by a professional (and
reputable) photographer. Classy nude photos of you in an album may
be one of the best gifts he's ever received!
* Proclaim your love for your husband in public. Hang a banner that
says you love him in a place where lots of people get to read it.
Ring up a radio show and have them "play your song" along with
your words of love. Leave an enormous bunch of flowers at his
workplace with a huge loving card attached that just begs to be
read by the receptionist. Have a t-shirt printed with his face and
words of love written on it and wear it all day. Get balloons
printed with his face inside a love heart, have them filled with
helium and walk around with them.
Give in. If you've found yourself in the habit of suggesting there
are things you'd rather he changed, do a turn-about and let him do
one or two things that would normally bug you. Fill the cabinet with
his favorite drink, dial in junk food, watch his favorite TV series
on DVD with him. Let him have that dog he's been pining after for
months, or book that flight to the interstate sports game with his
mates. A few little give-ins pave the way for a long-term
constructive relationship in which he'll do the same for you; plus,
it reassures him how much you really do care about him.
Turn the house into a love zone. If you're staying home for
Valentine's Day, make the house festive and suggestive. Get up early
and decorate the house to make it Valentine's friendly. Place
comfortable cushions, pillows, and blankets in the sitting area,
hang love heart decorations around the house, and place scented
candles in suitable places for lighting in the evening. Spray, burn,
or plug in a romantic scent and play soft, romantic music in the
background. Even better, plan a meaningful playlist that consists of
songs that the two of you share together and have that playing
through the day. Set up a massage corner, complete with massage
oils, towels, soothing massage tools, and a comfortable place to lie
down. Have sweet baking smells waft through the house.
Let the world revolve around him for the day. Spend the day hanging
on his every word and laughing at his every joke. Or secretly try
all day long to find out a few new things to like about him. This
might involve trying something new together, like eating oysters, or
just browsing the bookstore. Or let him teach you something, how to
drive a golf ball or shoot a shotgun.
* Fantasy wishes can be met by companies specializing in such treats
as being a racing car driver for a day or skydiving. Find out from
his friends if you're not sure what his fantasy wish is.
Go Latin. Romance was invented by Latin culture - the French, the
Italians, the Spanish. Going Latin can make it ultra romantic for
the day. Buy him gelato, make a heart-shaped pizza, and practice
whispering sweet phrases to each other in Italian. Or dance to
Hispanic love ballads and proclaim your love in Spanish. Or recreate
a Parisian cafe in your home, complete with croissants and French
phrases. Remember, said in a Romance language makes your love
messaging sound so much more romantic.
Remember to say "I love you". Be the first to get this valuable
phrase out into the open and pepper it into conversation
throughout the day. Don't overdo it, though, or he'll cringe every
single time you mention it; he may start to take your repetition
of the phrase as criticism that he doesn't say it to you often
enough. Don't miss opportunities to say "I love you" without
words, to add variety to your expression.
* Get him something he loves, like a favorite movie or a book or
something. Then offer to participate in it enjoying it with him.
He will appreciate this and return the favor.
* Sexual intercourse. Please don't take this wrong, but men like
sex. So sexual intercourse should definitely be part of the plan
on Valentine's Day.
