Say "I Love You" Not just on a trip or a special occasion. But every day. No matter how busy you are, there's always time to send an email or pick up a phone to say "I love you" if you're not in one another's presence. If you are fortunate enough to be together, stop what you're doing once in a while, look your lover in the eye, smile, and tell him or her what's in your heart. It doesn't cost a thing, yet it's the best way I know to keep romance alive.

Grab your guy’s attention by reading an irresistible description of some totally romantic locale (charming old cities, a lush green countryside, gorgeous sunsets, and delicious local dishes should capture his attention pretty quickly). Then start concocting your own ultimate escape together.

: Create a couple's play list of good-time tunes that you can crank up anytime to change the vibe from sullen to sexy. Each of you contributes your favorite upbeat songs; call it your Sunday mix. Every few weeks, delete the ones you’re sick of and add some new hits.

Then, before he shows up, turn your place into a low-key bed-and-breakfast with fresh linens on the bed, the ingredients for his drink of choice, and a season of his favorite TV show on DVD. Once he arrives, order delivery for dinner, and get in “do not disturb” mode by turning off your cell phones. We trust you know the rest.

Set the scene. Get yourself a sexy little nightie, rent a steamy movie, or crank up some get-in-the-mood music, and let the hanky-panky begin!

Spice things up. Surprise him (and maybe yourself) by doing something out of the ordinary: Invest in some sex toys or crank up the passion with something sweet (chocolate syrup anyone?). Or try a new position.
