There are thousands, even millions of ways of expressing love. These thirty days of romance are just the beginning.
Day 1- Visit someplace you’ve never been before. Get material from the local Chamber of Commerce or take a look at the guidebook for a city or region nearby.
Day 2- Buy a lottery ticket. Give it to your lover with a note: “I hit the jackpot when I married you.”
Day 3- Give a creative touch to a love note. Use a computer; add flourishes; use calligraphy. Turn the love not into a scroll and tie with a ribbon. Take your time and make it special.
Day 4- Make today a “Gift Day”. Bring home a bottle of scented massage oil and use it!
Day 5- Pick a token and make it into a necklace. Present to your love with this note: “Here’s a token of my affection for you.”
Day 6- Page through photo albums and videos together. Relive the memories.
Day 7- Hug! Cuddle! Hold hands. Give a neck rug and massage your lover’s feet.
Week 2
Day 8- Go for a walk together. Hold hands. No headphones allowed!
Day 9- Get up with the sun. Make love. Go to work.
Day 10- Shower together, and then take a coffee break together before starting your day.
Day 11- Take a class together. Sign up for a dance class, cooking class, wine tasting, or massage class.
Day 12- Make today a “Gift Day”. Bring home a bouquet of flowers. Write a note about the symbolic significance of your choice of flowers.
Day 13- Make a CD of special love songs. Break out the bubbly while you listen to the music.
Day 14- Fake a power outage. No TV; no computer; no lights…get out the candles and blankets. Huddle around the fireplace or heater and cuddle to keep warm. Take time for romance.
Week 3
Day 15- Share a bubble bath. Follow the bath with tea and cakes.
Day 16- Wake your lover up with coffee in bed. Play romantic music in the background.
Day 17- Set aside some time to read out loud from a favorite book or from a romantic poem. Drink wine and eat cheese and fruit.
Day 18- Go to the gym together. End the day with a massage.
Day 19- Chocolate is romantic, but not if you are dieting. Give your lover a stuffed animal and one candy kiss. Add a note: “For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.” (Judy Garland)
Day 20- Leave a greeting card on the car seat or on the bed thanking your lover for the everyday things he/she does that might appear to go unappreciated.
Day 21- Have lunch in an unusual place-an airport, museum, all-night diner, or quirky café.
Week 4
Day 22- Spend all day in bed. Read the Sunday paper; enjoy continental breakfast in bed (coffee, muffins, juice, toast, and fruit). Watch old movies. Make love (no hands). Have Pizza delivered for dinner.
Day 23- Take the day off and repeat activities from a previous day that you particularly enjoyed.
Day 24- Pack a picnic lunch/dinner. Throw a blanket on the floor. Enjoy a couple of glasses of wine. Enjoy talking to one another. Bon appetite.
Day 25- Make today a “Gift Day”. Make a list of 10 reasons I love you. Present it over a special dinner at an upscale restaurant.
Day 26- Give you lover a “love coupon” for an on demand special service, i.e. a massage, a back rub, a bubble bath, a shower together, etc.
Day 27- Give your lover a bouquet of Tootsie Pops with a creative twist. Make all the wrappings the same color. Add one that’s a different color. Attach a note: “In every bunch there’s one who stands out-and you’re that one.”
Day 28- Rent a romantic movie. Eat popcorn and drink Korbel in two crystal champagne flutes with your initials on them.
Day 29- Go outside. Ring the doorbell. Greet your lover with a wrapped gift. Come inside and share some hot chocolate.
Day 30- Pack a bag for an unexpected romantic getaway. Schedule the trip, keeping the dates secret. When the time is right, take off and enjoy the trip.
Transform your relationship into a vibrant, excting love affair by including gifts, gestures, personal notes and other surprises.
