Spring is peeking out from under the covers of cold, but there are still days when winter rattles the clouds and refuses to be whooshed away so easily. If it’s still too cold to go for along walk with your husband in the evening light or sit on the porch watching the sunset don’t worry. Here are a few things you can to to connect.
1. Cuddle. No TV. No kids. (Send them into the other room with a movie and popcorn.) Recline against each other. Spend time enjoying each other’s presence. Chat about the day.
2. Browse through a bookstore. Don’t worry about what you’re going to buy. Stroll through the bookstore and just look. Laugh at the crazy titles and clever plots, or go to the children’s section and reminisce about your favorite books as a child.
3. Make dinner together. Pick out something you wouldn’t dare to try on your own. Hopefully it’ll turn out tasty, but cooking together and sharing the experience is half the fun.
4. Take a long shower … together. I won’t going into explaining this one, but you get the idea.
5. Get out the lotion and massage each other’s hands and feet. Massage slow. Enjoy the contact. It’ll remind you how sensuous simple touch can be.
6. Go on a drive and explore. Turn on your favorite oldies music (80s songs anyone?) and drive down parts of town you haven’t been to in a while or new developments.
7. Plan your next vacation. It’s okay to be completely unrealistic, honest. Sit side by side on the computer and look at villas in Italy or condos in Hawaii. It doesn’t matter if it’ll take ten years to save up for it … dream. Consider the world as a place to explore together.
