Here are 20 tips on how you can get zest and excitement into your love life:

1 Change your bedroom decor. Novelty brings excitement. Rearrange the furniture. Put a mirror on the ceiling. Add sensual satin sheets, new sheets in your mate’s favorite colors, incense, fresh flowers, and perhaps a red bulb in your bed-, side lamp. Mist the room with perfume. When storing your linens, place nice-smelling soap among them for a pleasant scent.

2. Greet your partner at night in a new negligee or a see-through blouse—or if you always wear pants or jeans, wear a dress or a skirt-and-blouse combination.

3. Read an erotic book together for stimulation.

4. Discuss your fantasies. An individual may have a fantasy for years but he or she may be embarrassed about it. Many men want their wives to seduce them but never say so, and women often want to seduce their husbands but are afraid of being thought of as being overly aggressive.

5. Take a bubble bath or shower, together. Soap each other.

6. Do the exciting things that you did during the courtship. For example, kiss each other in the car before going into the house when you have been out together.

7. Exercise. Lose weight if necessary. Exercise together to focus on your bodies. Being out of tune with your body diminishes the enjoyment you get from your love life.

8. Go on a healthy diet together for more energy. Also, eat the same food as one way of building sexuality up, since this is another way of focusing on your bodies together.

9. Compliment each other. Focus on some aspect of your mate’s body. Say, “You look great in that outfit,” or “I like your new haircut,” or “I love the way your eyes light up when you laugh.”

10. Take a vacation or a weekend trip together or just go to a hotel or motel for an evening. Try one with a water bed. Getting away from routine and daily pressures does wonders for your love life.

11. Have a candlelight dinner with your favorite dishes and perhaps some wine.

12: Learn to massage each other. Take -a massage class together or read a book on massage.

13. Have an evening of sensual touching. Use oils and explore each other’s bodies.

14. Take a belly-dance course, then show your mate what you have learned.

15. Learn to dance together. Go out dancing or dance together at home. Dancing is a sensual body movement that can be very seductive.

16. Talk to each other and relax together before going to bed. Silently watching television does little to put you in the mood for love.

17. Take a meditation course together to help you learn to relax.

18. Leave playful or seductive or loving notes for each other around the house.

19. Listen to some new exciting music in your bedroom together.

20. Don’t be afraid to be daring. Do what you feel like doing. For example, seduce your partner while watching television.
