Keeping The Spark- Little Tips (Why the Heck are We Doing This?)

I hope, by now, you've read the Keeping The Spark -Little tips 1-3.
If Not... Check em out real fast.

Little Tip #1 - (send him a love note)
Little Tip #2 - (the 5 Second Kiss)
Little Tip #3 - (Spruce it Up!)

Several of you have e-mailed me asking...

• Why we are doing this?
• Don't I know that we deserve special treatment too?
• Don't I think these little romantic actions should work both ways?
• What if he doesn't notice?
• How long should I keep doing this before I give up?

Well of course we deserve to be treated special!
But remember.. we are not only doing these things for him...
we are doing these things for us too!
I know that I feel soo much better about myself, I'm more productive, I have more pep in my step, when I am put together and looking nice.

Even if it's a little pair of sexy lace panties and a lacy bra under my t-shirt and jeans, it helps.
It's fun! Kind of like I have a little secret.
Try it! I bet you'll agree!

These little steps usually won't make our man turn around and do a 180 degree change over night. But trust me... he will notice!

We have to remember who we are dealing with...
We are dealing with men. Men are different than we are!

Most men do not spend nearly as much time as we do over-thinking things.
Men think in the moment... they don't analyze each and every action, they don't look for the hidden message in every conversation as we women so often do.

I promise, they DO indeed notice our little actions!
But our men fall into the same ruts we often do.
Between work, bills, money, obligations, fatherhood, and life in general, They often find themselves going through the motions day to day, just like us!

It doesn't take much work to bring that spark back, or keep it burning brightly.
But it DOES take effort!
That, dear ladies, is what we are doing...

We put so much effort into being a great mom.
We out so much effort into being a good housekeeper, good friend, good daughter, etc etc etc...

Doesn't our relationship with the Man-of-Our-Dreams deserve at least the same amount of effort?
If he doesn't seem to notice our little actions right away, don't despair... Keep on doing them!!
Wait and see....

Change doesn't usually happen over night, but it is soo worth it in the end!

Up next...
Little Tip #4... (Date Night!)
