Are You a Lazy Lover?
by Dave Boehi
I keep thinking of a quote by Tommy Nelson, pastor of Denton (Texas) Bible Church: “We stop pursuing each other.” I know that’s often true of me. It’s been a long time since I did something new and creative for my wife, Merry, on Valentine’s Day—or for any other day, now that I think about it.
Sometimes we just need some new ideas. I searched through two resources offered by FamilyLife, Simply Romantic® Tips to Romance Your Husband and Simply Romantic® Tips to Romance Your Wife . Here are some ideas to consider using this week:
For Your Husband:
As he heads out for work, give him a passionate kiss. If he wants to know what it was for, tell him it’s the appetizer for tonight’s menu. Make him a book of coupons that are good for things he likes: his favorite dessert, a special meal, and you. Blindfold your husband and “kidnap” him. Take him to a hotel room where you have prepared a romantic rendezvous.
For Your Wife:
Make a list of all the things your sweetheart does for you that you probably take for granted. Thank her for each one. Arrange for a babysitter and then take your wife away on a special day filled with fun things she enjoys. Create your own little “free cuddles” coupon book. Every time she wants to cuddle, she turns in a coupon (with no expiration date).
If we want to stop being lazy lovers, we’ve got to make romance a priority and take action.
