HOW TO BE A ROMANTIC WIFE
1. Remember that romance is not the husband’s responsibility alone
2. Compliment your husband when he is well-dressed and smells good
3. Touch your husband’s thigh when he is driving or seated next to you when you want to tell him something
4. Flirt with him over the phone
5. Play with his fingers when you two are having pillow talks
6. Cuddle with him and place his head on your bosom when you two are in bed
7. Place your hand on his arm as a Queen who knows her position
8. Dress up for his visual stimulation, especially in the bedroom
9. Dance for him and tease him
10. Tell him all the passionate things you want to do to him
11. Praise his sexual performance and the things he does that give you pleasure. Tell him how how he drives you crazy
12. Take him out on dates, don’t always wait for him to plan things
13. Kiss him, not just on the lips but also his cheeks, his forehead, his fingers
14. Offer to serve him with a smile and take care of him
15. Call him special names “My King”, “Darling”, “Honey”
16. Be confident in being yourself, do great things as an individual. It excites him when he is proud of you
17. Talk highly about him in public, encourage him in private when he is down
18. Find out his favourite sex position and do it to him often
19. Help him to put on and remove his clothes, his tie, his coat
20. Rally the children in appreciating him, make him feel valued at home regardless of his financial status
21. Buy him gifts that he will like
22. Prepare his favourite meal or ask him what he would like to eat
23. Tell him you love him. Men love to be affirmed too. Tell him also what you love about him
24. Ask him how his day has been. Show care
25. Make sexual moves on him, don’t just lay there waiting for him to do all the work
26. Pray for him to bless him, not because you think he is the devil or the problem in your marriage. Prayerful women are romantic
27. Attend to his needs without him asking such as making him a cup of tea/coffee when he is working
Just because you have spent years together doesn’t mean you stop making him feel special. You were attractive and made him feel valued and that is why he pursued you to get you, stay attractive and valuing him to keep him; as you do so, he will long for your presence and give you his best. The woman who loves her husband, builds her home
