Married Valentine's:
What to do when you've already done it all? Some romance tips:
-glow in the dark stars on the ceiling
-rose petals in the bathtub
-couples massage
-exchange blank books - each of you writes down happy memories and things you love about the other person - and leave them on the bookshelf so you can continue writing the books and the other person can go in and read theirs every once in awhile. Put in ticket stubs, cut out cartoons from the newspaper to include - anything that will make your partner smile.
-Make a "mix CD" of songs from when you were dating, when you were married, etc.
-picnic dinner in bed - only foods you eat with your fingers
-get the car washed, fill it up with gas, and put a card and flower on the dashboard. Sometimes the simplest things are the most thoughtful, and mean the most when you're both busy working etc.
-When celebrating with kids: heart shaped pizza, heart shaped pasta, heart shaped cookies or cake
-leave candy kisses or those little valentine heart conversation candies everywhere for little surprises all day - in his pocket, in her purse, in the silverware drawer, taped with a love note to the bathroom mirror, in the car, etc.
-sent romantic text messages! It's not just for teenagers anymore... adults can learn to text or IM and send sweet signals! Or send a photo or yourself with an "I love you" sign.
-buy an instructional dance DVD, move the furniture back, and have a dancing date! Or just crank up your favorite tunes from high school or college days. Be prepared to laugh! If you want to go all out, set the mood twinkle lights or a mini mirror ball.
-Get a henna (temporary) tattoo of your spouse's name on your shoulder
-make a personal "I love you" screensaver or wallpaper and have it up on your honey's computer when they turn it on in the morning
