We’re pleased to offer this blog and to have the opportunity to share with you “love, laughter and romance….on line!”

Here you’ll find practical and exciting suggestions (including those that you share with us) for making your relationship feel special, and for making each other feel more loved, appreciated and desired.

This blog will, in good part, draw on the thousands of suggestions given to us by “real-life” couples who wrote to us after playing one of the romantic games we’ve created.

These couples (people of all ages; single or married – just or long-time; with or without children; two-career couples; and couples in their retirement years) told us how they keep the fires of romance burning brightly, every day. And how they make the time and space for loving gestures and romantic occasions.

We’re going to share their stories (some funny, some poignant, but all of them insightful), and we invite you to share yours.

We hope you enjoy this blog, contribute to it, and visit us often.

Smart phones, IPads®, tablets, good old PCs and MACs – all there to help you let your partner know how special he or she is.

“We use special codes when we text each other…just in case an unwelcomed eye happens to wander over.  It let’s us be as playful or intimate as we’d like.  And, yes, it’s fun to do – what better way to let your partner know when the moment is right?”

A handmade gift is one truly from the heart.

Instead of waiting until the last minute and getting caught in the holiday rush, let’s start now and plan to make homemade gifts for our friends (okay, so it’s something we’ve never done before).

There are craft stores, hobby stores, and lots of on-line suggestions to get us started.

“It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s delovely.” Cole Porter

For some, it’s oysters on the half-shell; for others it’s ginseng and for still others it’s strawberries dripping with chocolate.

What’s your favorite aphrodisiac?

“We’ve been married for a wonderfully long time, one of our pleasures is writing little notes to each other…on lovely cards, Post-It Notes, laundry slips, theater tickets, used envelopes, just about anything you can write on…and lately in emails. ‘We write simple things like ‘I’m thinking of you.’

Some are corny, usually when we’re trying to be funny; and some are thoughtful letting each other know how loved they are.

In all these years, we’ve never thrown away a note — they’ve become an important part of how we’ve kept our relationship so meaningful.”

It takes so little time to write a “love note”, but the effect lasts and lasts!

Okay, so it won’t be dueling pistols at twenty paces, but challenge your partner to:

Carpet Golf,; Bowling; Darts; Ping-Pong; Catching the Most Fish; Shooting Baskets; Checkers or Chess; or something else you’d like to win.

And the winner gets………..what do you think would be a fitting prize?

“…it was a look you could have poured on a waffle.”
Ring Lardner

It may be a gaze held a little longer, or a subtle touch – in what way could your partner flirt with you that would make you feel “syrupy”?

Grace notes are small, extra notes that enrich music.  But they can also be an intimate way to let your partner know how special he or she is to you.

There’s something warm and romantic about an “old-fashioned” written note – left in the medicine cabinet, on the dashboard, in an underwear draw…on a Post-It note, a piece of stationery, a greeting card.  Say “I Love You!” – for no reason at all, or for all the reasons in the world.

Grace notes maybe small, but their effect can make a very large difference.

Something hot and spicy, something rich and sweet, or something you’ve never tasted before – it’s fun to share an eating adventure.

Why don’t you and your partner take a cooking class together – and enjoy the results!

“I love Paris in the springtime…” Cole Porter (song)

If not Paris, what other place would you think would be romantic to visit with your partner?
