I am fully aware that some of you ladies laughed out loud when you read that title.   You are saying to yourself that it is absolutely impossible that the same  man who burps loudly at the dinner table, regularly forgets your anniversary, and asks you to buy your own birthday present is secretly wishing that you would plan a romantic evening for him.  It is not only possible, but very probable that most husbands would love to be romanced by their wife every once in a while!

Picture this.  Two friends are sitting on the couch catching up.  One friend  informs the other that her husband recently whisked her away on a romantic getaway to celebrate their wedding anniversary.  She went on to explain that while she was impressed with his effort and thoroughly enjoyed the trip, she was kind of out-of-touch in the romance department.  

The responsibilities of marriage and raising an infant had changed everything for her.  While romance used to be so important before marriage, it was now in the not-so-important category in her life.  But it was not the same for her man.  The hubby in our story obviously wanted a romantic weekend with his wife or he would not have gone to all the trouble to whisk her away, baby and all. 

As I was researching this topic, I found quite a few articles  and books  instructing wives how to romance their husbands.  I also must confess that I own a book called “Romancing Your Husband”  by Debra White Smith.  It is a funny but challenging book that details different ways you can increase the sizzle in your marriage.  So if you are at a loss for where to begin to romance your baby, take heart.  There are lots of resources out there for us clueless ladies.

For those of you ladies that want to start tonight to romance your husband, here are some tips to get you started.  Surprise your husband with something that he loves and you never buy for him.  Get him the latest edition of his favorite magazine or buy him tickets to see his favorite team play. 

Surprise your man with his favorite meal.  Have it hot and ready when he comes home from work or the gym.  Give him a massage while you watch T.V. tonight.  Or if you really want to go all out, offer to give him a manicure or a pedicure.  Your man may not go for the clear polish to top it off, but odds are he will enjoy the extra attention and the foot massage.

Put a romantic letter inside his laptop or his favorite book.  Words may not be his thing, but I am sure he will feel special that you were thinking of him and wanted him to know all about it.  You can also agree to go do something with him that he loves and well, you do not love.  The key to this little romantic outing is enjoying yourself even if you are at a comic book show or picking out some nice, juicy worms for an afternoon of fishing.

It is never too late or too early to start romancing your husband.  And funny thing is, the experts all agree that if we do it for our men, they feel more comfortable giving it a go for us as well.  That is definitely a team win!
