Valentine’s is coming…Our BootCamp will get you ready!
I can't believe Valentine's Day 2012 is almost here. Got your Get-a-way planned yet? We've got help for you!
Being married with kids I've decided is one of the toughest jobs on the planet.
And trying to stay nice let alone LOVING to my man while dealing with my constant stress of being a Mom literally pulls and divides me from feeling emotionally and physically close to my partner. We have to force ourselves to STOP and make a break for it...we leave the house for at least a night and recently we scored a total of 17 hours away together -an overnight out of this family orbit to regain feelings of intimacy.
Once again I was reminded that I need to do my own tips to stay in love.
We had wine. We had the candles. Great music. I brought my "sexy" outfits out of hiding. We laughed. We played. We swam. And we made love like we were NOT parents, but just old lovers who know each other really really well.
This is exactly why we work so hard to get overnights for our viewers ...when you COMMENT on this or ANY blog including how applying the our BootCamp Tips (below) helps your relationship -you will automatically entered to win a night at the one of the B&Bs featured here.
Just looking at these photos makes me want to get away again as soon as possible! LOL
Inn at Occidental - One of January's Give-a-ways!
Oak Knoll Inn - another one of our fabulous Give-a-ways!
Try one of these 5 Simple Love Acts - (Detailed explanations can be found in our book)
1. Go on a weekly date with just your partner. (No kids allowed) Ideas: This can be a meal out, a walk, a hike, a cup of tea, or you can export the kids and have it at home. But you must be alone with your mate once a week for at least an hour.
2. Apply the 15 minute rule. You must talk to your partner for 15 minutes EVERY DAY in person, uninterrupted without the kids around, no texting, no calls. And the conversation can not be about the kids, money !or unpaid bills. And you each get 7 1/2 minutes. (If you are apart due to business, skyping is acceptable with no kids nearby.)
3. Compliment your partner DAILY: You must say something positive or it can even just be a "Thank You" statement daily.
4. Have a WEEKLY sex date -- even if you really, really don't want to. Schedule it on your calendar and you both need to honor the sex date time and place.
5. Get A Way at least once a year...if you win the contest you'll be all set! One 24 hour night away with your partner.
Good luck to all of you and MAKE LOVE this Valentines Day!
