A Kindred Spirit: Let Me Call You Sweetheart Click on headline for full story The next earlier A Kindred Spirit is Becoming a Pink Lady Teresa Bell Kindred Nanahood.com Because of Valentines Day, February is known as the month of love. But is there any time of the year when we don't want to feel loved? Would it be ridiculous to wait another 11 months to show that special one in your life that you truly love them? Have you ever wondered why romance novels account for 48.6 percent of the mass market (paperback) book sales in the United States? Or why are soap operas so popular? Women don't need a handsome stranger on a white horse to ride into town, sweep them off their feet, and then disappear into the horizon. They need romance (the old-fashioned way to say it is that "Women need to be courted!"). Unfortunately after the wedding ceremony, many men who just said "I do" suddenly say "I don't" -- as in "I don't have to be romantic anymore." There's a difference in not wanting to be romantic and not knowing how to be romantic. My husband, Bill, is one of those who has to work at it. Let me illustrate. I have a friend who is thirty nine and just had her first baby. After her baby was born, her husband surprised her with a diamond necklace. I had twins and do you know what Bill surprised me with? A new pair of tennis shoes. Not exactly romantic, but thoughtful. After years of listening to me lecture on the importance of romance in marriage, he finally "got" the idea. One day he came home from work, and I could tell by the look on his face he was proud of himself about something. "Don't come in the back of the house until I call you," he said. Then he took five bags of mystery stuff from Kmart and disappeared. After about twenty minutes he called me. "Just look in the bathroom," he said as he grinned. ...is there anytime of the year when we don't want to feel loved? I looked and I couldn't believe it. Knowing that purple is my favorite color, he'd bought purple bath towels, purple candles, tiny purple soap shaped like flowers and a spa kit for the bathtub. It wasn't my birthday, it wasn't even close to Valentines Day. After almost 30 years of marriage, the guy is finally catching on and boy is that great! For those men who would like to be more romantic and don't know how, here are 10 helpful hints. You can pick the ones you like the best. You can combine two or three to really make a good impression. Or if you really want to be a "godly Don Juan type," you can go for all ten at once!
And my number one romantic tip: Happy Valentines Day This story was posted on 2010-02-14 19:08:04
