Lets face it. It’s been rough lately, real rough. COVID has definitely stopped a lot of things but don’t let it stop the romance in your life. You have plenty of time together so why not spend it reconnecting? It’s been hard enough just getting through these hard times. Let’s not make it harder. Even before COVID we could easily get caught up in our daily lives of the kids, work and home then rinse and repeat. Why would things be any different during? If anything they have been on a loop during these times. I want to just remind you to try and keep the romance alive with your spouse. It’s not easy to figure out with so much worry on our minds but it’s doable and probably most beneficial to our mental status. Here are a few simple ways to keep the romance going during a pandemic.
TALK This seems like the easiest of the bunch and it probably is but this is the remix. When have you ever checked on your mate and asked how they’ve been coping during a pandemic? I’ll wait…. It’s been some trying times, be there for your spouse. Make sure they are okay. Ask them how they’ve been managing things and if you can help to make things any easier for them. 9 out of 10 times most of us are NOT okay and that’s okay. Just offer your ear, shoulder or advice to your spouse to help them get through. They will feel loved and closer to you. DATE NIGHT Now some of our states are still not open for the things we would normally do on date so get creative. In the warmer states you can rent a boat and spend the day out on the water, set up a beautiful picnic in the park or on the beach and enjoy the scenery, fresh air and each other. Maybe bring a book and read a chapter to your spouse and commit to reading the book to each other. If you live in a cooler state maybe invest in a heating lamp if you don't have one already and enjoy a candlelight dinner and some dancing under the stars. If you're not up for the cold, set up your bedroom, living room or basement with a table and chairs, candles, soft lighting and music. Remember to get dressed up no matter where you are and maybe slip on something sexy underneath for dessert. GAME NIGHT...BUT NOT YOUR NORMAL FAMILY GAME NIGHT Okay now this one is for after hours, when the children are asleep. Both of you should be dressed for your romantic game night. Let’s make this fun dress up. How about a themed night? You can decide on whether that is costumes, colors, lingerie? Explore your options and agree on a theme then start your engines. Game night can go many ways. You can start out G rated playing your favorite card game just to get the fun going if that’s what you like but if you’re ready to get the games going start out with a drinking game. Instead of “have you ever?” play “would you ever?” Gear the questions to foreplay and intimate questions, things that you would like to do or want your partner to do to you. Would you ever use edibles in the bedroom, do a sexy dance, use toys, do a threesome, whatever you want your questions to be that’s up to you. You can also grab one of those bedroom fun board games found here and go with that. DIRTY TALK THROUGHOUT THE DAY Whether you’re both at home or both working in the field or one out while one is home, technology has made being able to keep the connections with your loved one alive. Start out by sending your luva some sweet I miss you texts. That’s an easy way to start the love trail. Keep the texts going but progressively more dirty...however your dirty talk goes. Right before they get off work send them a sexy pic of yourself (doesn’t have to be naked but can totally be if you like) letting them know that you cannot wait to see them and that they better hurry up and get home! TOUCHES AND KISSES IN PASSING Let’s face it, our children can be the biggest cock blockers lol. When they are around it’s hard to just be spontaneous and run and get a quickie in the laundry room or bathroom. Some days we are able to but most probably not. They always need some form of help as soon as you even get the thought of having a quickie. Lol So in order to build that momentum for later on when you get the moment to get together I suggest to give kisses when you get into the same room. It doesn’t have to be a deep passionate kiss but if you’re in the mood for that go for it! A sweet tap on the forehead, cheek, neck or lips will do just nicely just to let them know what’s up. Little caresses of the arm or stomach when passing or a love tap on the booty just to let them know you’re looking good is always a winner in my house. CREATE A DIARY OF LOVE NOTES Don’t let this oldie but goodie die out. Simple love notes can mean so much, especially when we’re living in these unprecedented times. Get a notebook or journal, grab a pen and date each page when you decide to write your luva. There’s no rules to this. Write a short or long note, simply say hello I was thinking about you or let them know how hot they are, leave a poem or your favorite Jodeci or Drake verse, doesn’t matter. Just leave them something to make them smile, get through their day and also have for years to come. By having the notebook you both can go back and forth and it will be so much fun to do and look back on all the sweet love notes later. PHYSICAL INTIMACY I know that it seems crazy that we could possibly forget to do something that would normally come so easy to us like making love but we have a lot of things on our minds, especially nowadays. It's so important to keep this connection with your partner more so now than before. It can release tension, headaches and anxieties plus it can be a workout lol. Be sure to carve out time to be intimate with your spouse. It will keep you both connected during these times when things seem so crazy. There’s no set rules on how to keep your romance going but these were some tips I thought would be helpful to couples. Try them out, leave some suggestions that aren’t on the list! Be safe and stay connected.
