1. Agree not to reject any romantic advance. A romance by definition is "a love story", "a love affair". Romance and sex are intertwined, so give homage to both.

2. Limit your encounters to 10 minutes-a-day for the first 2-3 weeks for all pre-bedroom romance.

3. Tell each other what you most need to experience in those 10 minutes. Agree to be flexible if your needs change.

4. Agree not to be pushy or resentful.

5. Agree to resolve conflict before bedroom romance by the "John Gray Method" (see the book "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" below).

6. Plan a daring or adventurous act of romance once-a-week. Keep your spouse guessing and begging for more.

7. Give your spouse our Hot Romance Coupons", 77 for $7.50 (total price)!

8. Check out RomanticFlair's erotic kissing tips.

9. Be sensitive and considerate of your spouse's mood and possible need for temporary space after work, regardless of whether work is at home or away from home.

10. If you have young children, trade childcare with a relative, friend, or neighbor, and take your spouse out. Specify that cellphone calls be made only in the case of a real emergency. Pick up any potential loose ends with the babysitter before you drop your child(ren) off. See book on cheap date ideas below.

11. If your spouse needs to talk in order to let go of concerns, accommodate your spouse with attentiveness, and reap the benefits thereafter (see "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" below for excellent tips on how best to console your spouse in a gender-appropriate way).

	Coming up with the courage to initiate your romantic plans may be your biggest task. You can put your doubts to rest by frankly asking your spouse if he or she is comfortable with: 1. romance itself 2. your initiating sex without an appointment (spontaneously) 3. foreplay 4. daring and adventurous acts of romance 5. spontaneity at home, around the children, and in public

If your daily routine has you in a rut so that romance seems like work rather than fun, try to remember that sex and romance are adult fun. Reinstate your youth. Have fun again!

"Here are some positive influences a date can have on your relation
ship whether you are still courting or have been wed for 50 years.

* You tend to take some extra effort on your appearance, making sure you are crisp and clean for your mate and the public you are going to face. Looking good tends to make you feel good.
* When you make time for a date, you generally become more relaxed. Too much tension can cause havoc in relationships.
* Gets you out of a rut. Relationships that rarely try anything new are bound to get stale. A variety of date nights keep things fresh and interesting. Boredom is a common cause for many divorces.
* Good conversations are difficult to have in five-minute increments. Dates allow you to have an hour or more of uninterrupted time to communicate on a deeper level. Don't make the mistake, however, of trying to resolve conflicts on dates. Date nights shouldn't turn into a weekly gripe session.
* Experiences you share as a couple naturally draw you closer together. The more things you do together, the more compatible you become."
