Valentine’s Day is all about being with the one you love. The most important thing to remember is that just by honoring the love you share with heartfelt and meaningful expressions, you will make their day a very special one.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money to celebrate your love together. Even a quiet evening at home filled with romantic movies, a delicious meal and your husband’s favorite dessert can serve as an incredible night to remember.

It’s easy to forget to take a moment to pause and show our partner that we really care, and that’s what Valentine’s Day is really all about. We’re given that much needed reminder that we need to pay attention to the things that truly give our lives meaning.

I wish you and your partner the most memorable Valentine’s Day of your lives,

Treasure hunts aren’t just for kids at birthday parties; adults can certainly enjoy the thrill of the chase just as much!

Consider planning out an elaborate treasure hunt that leads your husband to each destination with love notes, offering simple clues as to what to do next. Start with giving your husband one little clue while offering “rewards” along the way.

For example, when I did this for husband I started with offering him a love note, which instructed him to go to a certain address. This address, the local florist had a man gift basket waiting for him with a note attached that led him to his next destination.

From one place to another, each stop presented him with another love note and another gift.

By the time he reached the final destination, a package containing a room key and a blindfold in a secret envelope were handed to him by the clerk at a luxury hotel. When he entered the room, I had a gorgeous spread on the floor by the fireplace.

Accompanying the picnic lunch, there were candles all over the place, music playing and of course,  ME – waiting to begin the treasure and pleasure hunt in a whole new way. *blushes*

If you have a drive in theater in your area (and there are still many in existence, just check your local yellow pages), Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to turn the hands of time back and become nostalgic!

Drive in theaters can be very romantic and during Valentine’s Day weekend, it’s likely that they will be running a romantic feature film so call ahead and mark down the times that are available.

Pack a picnic lunch complete with a comfortable blanket, and prepare for a intimate night together.

Watch the movie from the car, or sit out for a picnic lunch, and enjoy each other’s company.

This is one of the easiest and most affordable Valentine’s Day dates possible, and it will bring an old time flavor filled with memories.

Dancing the Night Away

One of the things we as women look forward to on Valentine’s Day is the opportunity to dance with the man we love. You don’t have to go out dancing to be able to share an intimate moment together.

Just turn the lights down low, turn on some romantic music and offer your husband your hand in a slow dance together.

This is one of the most traditional ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day yet it’s often overlooked with so many people focusing on more elaborate plans.

What do you think your husband would rather have? A quiet night alone with you, dancing in his arms, or an adventurous and busy night out on the town?

Create your own compilation CD of slow songs that your husband loves and set it up in the CD player before the night begins (or iPod playlist like I do). Set it on repeat so that you don’t have to stop once you get going!

Love Coupons

Not sure what to get your husband this Valentine’s Day? Let THEM Decide!

Create a love coupon book that entitles them to cashing in on many different favors. From back rubs to giving up the remote control for a night, you can easily customize an entire coupon book based on your husband’s desires.

This idea is not only affordable, but it comes straight from the heart, as every coupon will be based around spending quality time together.

Other ideas: Rather than giving them the entire coupon book, consider hiding coupons around the house for your husband to find.  Put a love coupon in their briefcase, under their pillow or in a book they’re reading!

While this idea isn’t for everyone (if your husband is shy, you might just want to skip it!) but for those who want to go all out and truly profess their love in front of the world, there are many options available to you.

Consider calling the local radio station and planning out a public dedication to your husband. Just make sure to time it correctly so that they are sure to hear it! (Tip: Consider taping it to offer as a keepsake).

Create a sign or banner that goes into your front yard or a magnetic strip that attaches to your car professing your words of love. This a fun and playful way to show your husband that you want the whole world to know how much you love him!

Consider hiring a local plane to carry a banner over your home that carries your message of love. While this can be quite expensive, it’s a rather classic idea that’s been used for both proposals and special Valentine’s Day romance.

Place a classified in your local newspaper that describes the love you feel for your husband. Make sure to keep a clipping, this one is certain to go into the photo books!

Nothing puts the sizzle back into a marriage or brings back the spark than changing your environment.

According to a study by Lava life, the large majority of married couples who were surveyed claim to have had better sex with their spouses in hotel rooms and other places outside of the home than they ever have had in their regular bedrooms.

And it’s no surprise. Whether you consider yourself traditional, conservative or wild, changing your setting from its usual environment will instantly turn up the heat on any marriage relationship. It unleashed the carefree side of ourselves, and allows for fantasy to take control.

For romantic getaways on Valentine’s Day, make sure that you plan ahead. Depending on how far you want to travel, whether it’s your local hotel or a getaway outside of town, you will want to make sure of availability and book your getaway as early on as possible.

While Valentine’s Day is primarily for couples, many towns have Valentine’s Day events that will bring people into the city, so make sure that you make reservations early on.

Your getaway can be as simple or as detailed as you make it.

From a simple weekend getaway to the country with a quiet dinner, walk on the beach or tour of the surroundings, to a single night away from home where you are given the privacy and quietness that perhaps lacks at home (especially for us parents out there), you can plan out an affordable and memorable getaway adventure that it tailored towards your husband.

Nothing beats a surprise adventure, and so you should try to plan and book it without your husband knowing.

Then, moments before you are ready to whisk him away, tell him to pack a bag (or better yet, pack it for him if you can), and then head out for your private excursion.

There is much to be said about having an entire day alone together especially if heavy work schedules, kids or family life usually causes day to day distraction.

Hotels make for easy getaways as you’ll be surrounded by restaurants, can order room service, rent a romantic movie for a quiet night in, or book your weekend at a hotel that provides live entertainment.

You could also consider booking in at a lodge or resort where you’ll be able to have fun dancing and socializing while retreating back to your room for some alone time.

This private retreat will do wonders for your marriage, whether you’ve just recently gotten married or have been married for years.

Make sure to place do not disturb signs on your door and call down to the front desk and request a late checkout!

One of the greatest obstacles for both men and women isn’t in wanting to express the way that we feel about our spouses but in being ABLE to express ourselves to the degree we wish we could.

This year, you are going to spice it up by shocking, impressing and leaving your husband dazed and confused as you release that sexual beast inside of you!

Sex is often shunned alot in our Christian circles but needs to be addressed in a Holy manner for us to realize that God created sex between a husband and wife for intimacy that can never be created by anyone else. But created for a man and his wife to come together as ONE spiritually.

(Proverbs 5:15-19) Drink water from your own well—share your love only with your wife. Why spill the water of your springs in public, having sex with just anyone? You should reserve it for yourselves. Don’t share it with strangers. Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. She is a loving doe, a graceful deer. Let her breasts satisfy you always. May you always be captivated by her love.

Consider buying sexy lingerie, something you wouldn’t normally wear. You want him to expect the unexpected!

There is no greater way to express your desire for your husband than by going all out and doing something creative and perhaps, unusual for you.

This is also the best way to spice up your marriage especially if you have been together for many years.

Buy a blindfold, and when he enters the room, be in control. Blindfold your husband and allow them only the sensation of feeling, smelling and tasting you.

No sight! This is perfect for those of you who are self conscious of your bodies and have the desire to be wild and free but aren’t “quite there yet”.

When blindfolded you can both experience each other in a whole new way, and trust me, your husband will never forget it!

Blend the evening with sensual tastes, including strawberries dipped in whipped cream and small chocolates. Feed your husband, and take things slowly. You want the evening to last.

Tease your husband with light “feather dusting”, massage your husband’s body, and get creative!
