Plan a romantic night at home

Romance takes center stage on Valentine ’ s Day . February 14th is a chance for couples to express romantic sentiments that reflect just how much they care for one another .
The relationship site Marriage . com offers that happily married couples with long histories together manage to preserve some elements present in the early stages of their relationships — a time when couples typically make a concerted effort to show affection for one another .
Romance is a key component of successful relationships . Couples may discover they don ’ t need to leave the house to enjoy a romantic night together .
Hide romantic notes Engage in a romantic scavenger hunt by hiding notes that express thoughtful sentiments and give your partner a list of clues to guide the hunt . Start with a clue such as “ Where did we go on our first date ?” If it was an Italian restaurant , you can attach the next clue to a bunch of basil in the refrigerator , and so on .
Alternate watching films Both of you probably have all-time favorite movies , but they may not be the same films . Encourage bonding time by queueing up two separate films to watch , yours and your significant other ’ s . Whether one is a rom-com and the other is an action flick , watch them in succession while cuddling on the sofa .
Prepare a meal together Valentine ’ s Day dinner can be all the more intimate when you dine alone at home . Together , shop for the ingredients for a delicious meal you both enjoy . Pour two glasses of wine and divvy up meal preparation tasks . Steal a few sample bites ( and kisses ) along the way . Cook to a romantic playlist to really enhance the ambiance .
Dress up the bed Create a warm and inviting bedroom with some luxury bedding . Splurge on sheets with a high thread count and a new down duvet . Fluffy new pillows and room accents can make the space even more inviting . This new bedding may inspire extra cuddling together under the covers .
