How to Spice up a Marriage

Bed of roses

Many things can contribute to the lack of spice in a marriage. It happens in almost all relationships at some point or another, but it is nothing to worry over. You can spice up your marriage in one night of romance and pleasure. This will work whether you are a man or a woman, because everyone loves to be pampered. The following steps will show you a way to bring passion back into your lives.

Things You'll Need

• Babysitter
• Candles
• Rose petals
• Massage oil

Instructions

1. Get a babysitter. If you want this night to be passionate, you don't want kids running around or crying. It doesn't have to be all night, so a few hours will do just fine. Make sure you take the kids over to the sitter's house, instead of the sitter coming to your house.

2. Buy some candles. They can be scented or unscented, it doesn't matter. You just want to create a romantic scene. Jar candles would probably work best simply because there is less risk of setting something on fire, and you don't have to worry about wax getting everywhere. Just a couple candles is all you need.

3. Either buy some roses or rose petals. Real roses and petals would work best because of the natural aroma.

4. Get some sensual massage oils. You can get these at any adult novelty store. Make sure they are scented and smell good.

5. Light the candles around your room.

6. Pick the rose petals off of the roses or the rose petals you bought and spread them around the room. Makes sure you get some on the bed, but not too many.

7. Invite your partner into your room and use the oil you bought to give him or her a sensual massage.

Tips & Warnings

• You don't have to use this specific idea, but in general you want to make a special night alone with your partner to recreate the spice in your marriage that you used to have when you first got together.

• Take your time and don't rush things.

• Relax and talk with each other.

• Be careful not to set the room on fire with the candles.
