Searching for great ideas for a romantic afternoon with the one you love? Is it time to do something special for your partner or just try something new and fun for a relaxing afternoon together. As I am sure is the case sometimes, you both are so busy with your careers, family, the kids, or just the hustle and bustle of everyday life that you have forgotten to make the time to enjoy one another or relax with your partner for quite some time, right?

Well, this article is focused on on offering you a fun and relaxing way to be with your partner in a way you maybe never thought of yourself. The best part about it is you don’t even need to leave the privacy and comfort of you own home. Weekends are short enough without having to be bothered with making reservations somewhere or getting in the car and traveling for hours to get away. Turn your bedroom into a sanctuary and spend the time there relaxing and chilling out together.

On a Saturday or a Sunday afternoon, have a little picnic. Don’t leave the house. Throw your old picnic blanket across the bed, or throw a quilt on the bedroom floor. Add some pillows and spread out. You’re going to spend the rest of the day just relaxing and enjoying the chill of having nothing to do with anything other than each other. (Get rid of the kids. Unplug the Web. Shut off the cells.)

Drag out the DVDs. Monopoly can be fun if you set up an imaginary third partner and you each take a turn standing in as the imaginary foe. Go Fish (if the prizes are right), or even Strip Poker, can turn into some pleasant card-sharking. What’s important is coming up slowly from the depths of your lives, slowly so you don’t get the bends, and enjoying the sunlight and the frothy surf at the top of your lives.

As the day continues and you find yourselves developing an appetite go and prepare yourselves a picnic-style lunch. Anything is fine here. Whatever your favorites are or whatever you have in the fridge will suffice. The idea here is to spend as much time together as possible relaxing and enjoying each other not spending the time making and preparing a gourmet meal.

Open a nice bottle of wine to share if the mood strikes you to help and encourage each other to relax. A nice light way to eat, and a great complement to wine, is the addition of some European cheeses, olives, and crackers. Finger foods for this type of occasion are fantastic. You can munch away all day long, enjoy a great bottle of wine, and each other’s company. What an amazing way to spend a day!

When looking for activities to enjoy with your partner, try to think of fun and intimate things. Use your imagination and be open to anything. The best ideas are, most often, spontaneous and, therefore, simple and uncomplicated. Turning your bedroom into an indoor park of sorts and having a picnic on your bed is a great example of this as well as a great example of how you don’t need to go anywhere if you don’t want to or can’t afford to yet still have a really great time.

What you choose to do with your time during your picnic is up to you and your lover. If you both are movie lovers, by all means, spend the day watching your favorites while snacking and enjoying a bottle of your favorite wine. Whatever you choose, enjoy the time with your partner and recharge you battery for the week to come.

We’ve all heard of the slogan “give yourself a Kit Kat, give yourself a break”, right? Well, as much as this applies to your work and your home life, it just as easily can be applied to your romantic and intimate life and relationship as well. We all need time away from our partner. Not even time away, but time to ourselves. Private time to reflect and evaluate where we are, and most importantly, where we are heading.

Perhaps even a little time to miss the one we love and appreciate how much we need and want them in our lives. With all that goes on in our busy lives it’s easy to get lost and forget how much we depend on our spouses for support. The best way to remember or be reminded of this is to be without them for a few days. Give yourself a chance to miss them and this way you will be more grateful and appreciate them more when they are around.

Time away from each other is so important. Encourage, no insist, that you each have time away from each other and spent with important other friends. Women need time to be with women, men need time to be with men. The sexes are called “opposite” after all. And conversations can become very gender-specific at those times, and that’s usually a welcome relief. Men fishing, beer-belching, and telling raunchy jokes; women throwing “tupperware parties” with hired male dancers; neither of these are too far off the exaggeration meter.

A gentleman always adjusts his behavior around a lady, even if he knows the woman intimately. The same goes with a lady and her gentleman. Without rancor, without venom, same sex jokes can be told with abandon and a lot of steam gets vented. The guys will make fun of each other’s wives, the wives will have no mercy on each other’s husbands. Those are the rules and that’s why they have healthy relationships. Of course, stories about love and respect and wonderfulness will unfold as well. But the stories are in the guys terms; and the women’s tales are told as they can best understand each other. Love conquers all.

You can always have the candles lit when they get home or dinner ready to go with a bottle of wine opened for a romantic welcoming. After being away from you for a while I guarantee your partner is going to want to be extremely close to you for a long while. Take advantage of this opportunity to share some very loving and close time together. Another saying that applies here is “distance makes the heart grow fonder.” Allow yourselves some time apart and you will most likely enjoy your time together much, much more.

Is the flirting failing? Is the love languishing? Plan on an evening or a weekend away from each other. Don’t break vows or promises while you’re away, and you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find when you get back together. You’ll find that you really do like each other. That you missed each other. That you relish being with each other. That you chose each other for a special place in your life because you’re both special. Aren’t you? Yes, of course.

Hold it, Buddy. Hold it, Lady. When’s the last time you did something special for that special someone? Not just any old thing. Something that showed you were interested only in pleasing him or her. Something that took some thought, some time to get it together, some energy to pull it off. Something only you could do to make only your partner feel special.

So, doing something special for that someone special hasn’t had a special place in your mind for an especially long time. Right? Well, you need to turn over a special new leaf. Starting right now, think of something special you can do that will convince your significant other all over again that he or she is tops on your Special List.

Try arranging a romantic evening together for you and your partner and prepare everything yourself. Even send him or her an invitation via email and make it official. You can title your email something like this: “Come enjoy a night of love and romance”. You can make up some fun little “love coupons” in photoshop and print them out, or buy something that would do the trick in a novelty store, and send them to your lover in the mail.

Make the coupons “redeemable” on the special night, put the date on them. Make suggestions as to how they can be redeemed. Something along the lines of “redeem this coupon for anything you like, anything to make you feel special, anything to make you feel nice.” By doing so, you’re allowing your partner to take the upper hand, your allowing him or her to bring some new “toys” to the party.

The “love coupons” can be a special part of the evening. Make as many as you like. They’re only limited by your playfulness and imagination. Maybe you’d like to try some things that he or she’s been hinting at. Maybe you’d like to explore new sensations. Just about anything, from a foot massage to … you figure it out, will do. Just be sure that, whatever the suggestion, it makes him or her feel loved and special.

Don’t forget the dinner to make the evening a success. Making it yourself will certainly score extra points. But, if you’re not a chef, ordering it in shouldn’t hurt at all. The point is to share an intimate time with your lover. Do whatever makes the most sense, that makes you feel the most comfortable.

But, should you order dinner, personalize the meal with some fresh flowers on the table, light some favorite scented candles, and open a special bottle of wine you know will be enjoyed. These touches will add that extra bit of thoughtfulness that’s so important.

Obviously, allow your partner to redeem their “love coupons” any time they wish however, do be warned, if you allow them to used the coupons before dinner one thing may lead to another and you will both be forced to eat a cold, over done meal much later in the night!

Planning and arranging a night like this will be a treat and something special for the both of you. Your partner will remember it for a long time and your relationship will reap the benefits for even longer. Using your imagination and creativity and involving your partner’s as well makes the experience a real exercise in understanding one another and allowing each other to offer new ideas and explore your relationship more deeply than ever before.
