Just touching one another... cuddling snuggling even a hug! Can really help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-little-things-do-you-do-to-spice-up-your-relationship#post-1349145 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:58:11 +0000 ShootingStar 1349145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I'll add that naked snuggling is even better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-little-things-do-you-do-to-spice-up-your-relationship#post-1349099 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:51:46 +0000 MrsH 1349099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are spicing up with scheduled date nights lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-little-things-do-you-do-to-spice-up-your-relationship#post-1348891 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:23:16 +0000 snowjewelz 1348891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We considered life very "spiced up" whenever we do something out of the ordinary! We are homebodies so even going out to a new restaurant, or actually having fun plans get us very excited! I love sharing new experiences together and I think when we make new memories it brings us closer to each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-little-things-do-you-do-to-spice-up-your-relationship#post-1348864 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:16:55 +0000 petunia354 1348864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to surprise him with a night out either this weekend or next! My sister is going to watch DS for a few hours and I'm going to make reservations for a restaurant he loves and then will drive him to the movie theater after and let him pick the movie :) I always complain that we aren't romantic any more so I figured I would lead by example!</p> <p>Relinquishing control on what movie we go see? Now THAT is love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-little-things-do-you-do-to-spice-up-your-relationship#post-1348849 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:14:12 +0000 LuLu Mom 1348849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us, just hanging out with each other &amp; talking is the best thing to bring us closer. Our LO goes to bed at 7, that gves us a couple horus of adult time to just be a couple. We notice we start to bicker if we haven't "hungout" in awhile. (seperate rooms watching TV, ect.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-little-things-do-you-do-to-spice-up-your-relationship#post-1348840 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:12:13 +0000 Anagram 1348840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snuggle. Sounds stupid, but I feel like we never have time to just lay on the couch and snuggle like we did before we had LO. My husband basically forced me to do it last night (I wanted to wash bottles, pack day care bag, etc. etc. etc), but you know what? It was nice.</p> <p>And we needed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-little-things-do-you-do-to-spice-up-your-relationship#post-1348837 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:10:47 +0000 Smurfette 1348837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just going to post this question, cause DH and I need to spice things up but I am not sure how. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-little-things-do-you-do-to-spice-up-your-relationship#post-1348790 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 09:55:51 +0000 mrbee 1348790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>According to an article I just read, the three ways to spice up a relationship are to be more adventurous, be more romantic, and to be more naughty.</p> <p>Mrs. Bee loves to go on adventures to new and interesting places, but we haven't been able to do that in a long time because of our kids. But the kids are getting older, and so I'm looking forward to going on adventures to new and exciting places with the whole family!</p> <p>What little things do you do to spice up your relationship? </p>
