It doesn’t matter what sort of couple you’re part of–whether it is a long term marriage, you have three kids or no kids, boyfriend and girlfriend or a gay relationship–that you are~you are probably} both too busy to just commit sufficient time for each other.  Most of us have more tasks to do than we have available time.  You may well wonder whether the world has always been this way or whether it is only in these times.

Unfortunately, one of the first things to get postponed “until there is enough time” is quality time with our significant others.  We think we’ll suddenly find more time once this big deadline at work is completed.  Or we hope that we won’t be as busy once little Jimmy’s soccer season is finally done.  We then find ourselves pondering whether our relationship has grown stale.  Maybe, we think, this happens to all couples after they have been paired for some period of time.Perhaps it does, but even that is no excuse.  No person, no project at the office, no “honey do” list at your home should become more important than your partner–at least not every time that a priority must be established.

Here are a few tips for a perfect, non-traditional, intimate evening at your own home.

Choose a night to send the children and pets off to Grandma’s (or a neighbor’s house)
Disconnect the television
Choose some CDs that you both enjoy
Throw away (or hide) all telephones, computers and any other contraptions that disrupt your life every day
Send for a chef prepared, gourmet meal from an Internet boutique–one that needs virtually no effort on your part but stills tastes as if it’s from a four star restaurant
Buy a bottle of fine wine oran invigorating mixture of fresh fruit juices
Park the cars in the closed garage
Close all curtains
Switch off the lights
Pretend you’re not home
Light some drip less candles
Eat at a very slow pace
Take plenty of time to talk about each other
Listen attentively
Finish the meal with a slice of creamy New York cheesecake and a glass of a complimentary dessert wine or cup of coffee
Worry about the diet some other day
Don’t do the dishes, at least not until morning
Blow out some of the candles
Go to a fantasy room other than your bedroom
Try to think of something that relaxes you–in some stimulating manner
Oh, yeah.  Talk some more

Go through the whole process after a month.  You will find {that you are still too busy to suit you}, but you won’t mind as much if you follow these easy directions.
