Romantic Moments: How to Add a Little Spice in your Life

Chilli: Hot and spicy tangs can be given to your present boring life by planning out a complete seduction of your spouse or partner. Forget candlelight dinners and moonlight nights - they are so boring. Instead, try something different.

Fill up the bathtub with rose petals. Invite the lady into your parlour. Get a bunch of rose petals and spread them along the floor leading to the bathroom. Have the lights off in the whole house and use candles along the way to the bathroom. Prepare a bubble bath for her, and have a silky new night gown, placed on the rail next to some perfume that you like and lipstick that she uses. While she is in the bathroom, clean up the petals that lead from the door to the bathroom, and use them to lead from the bathroom to the bedroom. In the bedroom have a dinner of what she likes to eat. Have rose petals all over the floor and the bed. You could use silk sheets on the bed. And let things happen from there.

Give your partner the luxury of some private time, knowing that when you reunite it will be all the sweeter. Undress each other with your eyes closed.

Take turns reading romantic poetry or an erotic novel to each other. Act out the scenes, described in the book, and laugh a lot. It is funny! Kiss your partner awake in the morning.

Pepper: Put some pepper in your life by opening up the boxes and crates which you have kept away for so many years. Pick out all the letters, cards, notes and other gewgaws which you have accumulated through the years. Have a pen with you. Write down the date and notes of all the present activities of life, as it is in reality, against the paragraphs of your dreams!

Then, after you have sniffed over them nostalgically, put them away so that future generations are going to pepper up their life reading them and wondering how great a swinger their grandma was in her time!

Make a time capsule. Write down your private thoughts and dreams in letters to each other. Then put them in a box along with a special bottle of wine, or funny souvenirs, and seal it with sealing wax. Don't open it until your 50th anniversary.

Salt: Salt is normally used to add flavour to your food and help you swallow it. Right? So, to add salt in your life, begin to swallow the trials and tribulations you have undergone these years of living and pick your revenge your own way. Contact the person who has been the source of plenty of pain and chagrin to you all these years. Act very cheerful, say that you have forgiven and forgotten your differences, and now you are beginning to wonder how things blew up out of all proportion - laughing all the while - and spend half an hour talking about trivialities in a really light-hearted way.

Do not bring back old grievances. Do not complain. At the end of the call, just remember to tell him or her about your new car, new life, new job, new house, and what a success you are making with all of them - and end it by saying that you have achieved something he has been dreaming of. Not only have you taken the best revenge, but he is going to spend the rest of the month, wondering why you called up!

After that, please make sure that when he or she tried to contact you, you are out of reach - possibly somewhere in Timbuktu or Paraburdoo or Meghahatuburu. This is called putting the salt on the bird's "tale"!

Ginger: If there's a great slow dance song playing on the radio, ask your partner to dance, even if you happen to be cooking supper!

Spontaneously whisper to your lover where, when, and how you'd like to make love to him or her. Time your declaration for an unexpected moment that's sure to make your partner blush - one the way to work, at a party, or while shopping! Surprise your love by lip-synching a love song.

In your own voice, record a love song or poetry on tape for your partner to listen to on the way to work or when out of town.

Mustard: Tell your wife that you have a friend that really really is dying to meet you and her and they are waiting in the car. That person really admires her. But before you do this... get a teddy bear and try to make it look cute by putting sunglasses on it dressing it. Sit the bear on the front seat of the car and put the seatbelt on him. A female teddy bear can be wearing new jewellery. Lead your better half out to the car to meet this "person who wants to meet her" so eagerly.

Collect and make a book of poems for him or her. Or you can serenade your lady, stand outside her window and sing her a love song. It really doesn't matter how bad your voice is or if the neighbours think that you are crazy!

All spice: Sing him to sleep. Play in the park like when you were kids. Throw snowballs or jump in leaf piles. Splash in puddles. Replace his bookmark with a love note. Compliment your partner every day more than once. Make it genuine! Brush her hair or wash her hair for her. She'll love it.

One of the most beautiful things I ever saw was done by one of my uncles for his 25th wedding anniversary. He draped the trees and fences with fairy lights. And then in the middle of the party, he switched on the fairy lights and switched off all the other lights, turned on slow music and brought my aunt out to dance under the moon, holding each other close! Now, that is true love!

Have a personal code between the two of you. I never knew why my aunt suddenly used to blush or frown in the middle of a family gathering. What I did not know was that uncle was telegraphing," Hi, sexy!" Or "waiting for tonight!" Showing your feelings and emotions is nothing to be ashamed of. So, guys, learn to live a little and don't be shy of broadcasting your love to the world! Everyone, male or female, wants the spouse to be a bit imaginative in adding some spice to an ordinary life - so go to it and get a reputation of loving and caring and sharing and cherishing and tender, which is not the prerogative of a female.
