Indoor Picnic

• If you're just looking for a fresh way to enjoy a good meal together, think outside the box, or off the box rather, by moving your regular dinner from the dining room table. You don't even have to go through the hassle of cooking a meal yourself; order takeout from your favorite spot and set up a picnic in the middle of your living room floor. Lay down a few blankets and pillows, transfer your Chinese food onto a few of your bowls and plates and pour a glass of wine. Light candles and place them around your living room to substitute for any other lighting. Greet your honey in a robe and allow him a few short minutes to change into a robe as well. Enjoy a relaxing dinner, picnic-style on the floor enjoying each other's company.
  
  

Blind Taste Test

• To give your evening a little adventure, go to your favorite martini bar and sample a few custom cocktails. Blindfold your partner while you two sip different flavors and concoctions. Award her bonus "points" for correct guesses. Ask the bartender to make a signature drink mixing a few ingredients the two of you create together. Jot down your favorite and go home to make a full portion, then enjoy your yummy drink in the privacy of your own home.
  
  

Role Play

• Create entirely new personas for you and your honey. Start your morning by scribbling a note to your sweetheart, letting him know that the two of you will be taking on new roles for the night. Provide details for him to meet you at your favorite lounge or restaurant, warning him that he must be in character for the entire day. Plan to meet at the location as strangers acting as if you've never met. Buy each other drinks, use different names and fully commit to being a totally different person. Role play is an exciting igniter to spice up just about any relationship as you two try your hands as actors pretending to be identities you've always wanted to be, like a feisty lawyer or record executive in town on business. Watch how the night spices up as one of you invites the other to "go home" with the other for the grand finale of your big act.
  
  

Strip Tease

• To add immediate spice to your evening, after a long day, change up your routine before you two resort to watching television reruns before falling asleep. Have your partner follow you into the bedroom, where you've prepared aromatherapy, light music and a playful strip tease, allowing your partner to watch you undress sensually. Forbid her to touch you until you say so, and enjoy each other's company while you entice her with clothing removal and passionate kisses.
