A while ago someone told us about a 'resource pack' call
"Simply Romantic Nights" by Dennis and Barbara Rainey.
This
a box (from Family Life) containing a book about romance in Marriage
and a bunch of sealed cards. Half for her and half for him. The insructions
in the book tell you to pick one, i.e. Husbands to pick one from
the his pile and then open and follow the instructions.
Murray
went first and went through the his pile and picked one that sounded
good. It was called "Digital Reality". This seemed a good one to
start with as am into computers the digital sounded like me. I opened
the card and to my amazement it had nothing to do with computers, but
was . . . na I'm not going to tell you! The card instructed me to spend
the week building anticipation and how to do that. It seemed like a lot
of work and effort but really it wasn't but it was fun.
Janet
opened one called "Coffee, Tea and Me". No I am not telling! :)
This
month I opened one called "As you wish". It was good in that as I
was doing part of that (no I'm not telling) yesterday the Lord showed
me some things about myself. So we not only had fun but I learnt some
new stuff.
Now
here is an 'cut and paste' from the advertisement for this pack.

Married with seven children restricts our quality time together and stretches
romanticism. So for our wedding anniversary I decided to cook dinner and
desert. Janessa and I dressed up and I set up a picnic in our bedroom, locked
the door - kept the little ones busy - turned on some romantic music and
had a romantic evening together. With limited time and money our imagination's
created our little escape in our house.
There were still little knocks on the door periodically. When we
started dancing we let the children in to dance with us . . . for a little
while . .

I sent flowers to my wife's work, seven red roses and one white rose
with a poem.
Seven reds roses for every day I think of you and one white rose for Jesus
who brought us together. She had to explain this to her work mates and it
started others getting flowers at her work from their men.

During our time spent running a Married For Life course in Rarotonga
Sandy and I were given a motorcycle to use. We spent many occasions cuddling
up while riding and then stopping to go on walks or have lunch and coffee.
(Sandy writes) We would swap who was driving so that each had a turn for
whispering sweet everythings to the other.
No helmets were worn so it was great for the occasion.
Steve and Sandy
This was an impromptu evening and quickly planned. As we got into our car
together after work we looked at each other and decided to out for a meal.
Robin decided on an exclusive hotel/restaurant and booked a table. We went
to "Dorothy's" which was on the theme of "Wizard of Oz". We went down the
yellow brick road to a lovely quiet area in the restaurant. We went through
the menu from start to finish, trying new things and sharing our meals so
that we tasted different things. We were able to quietly reflect and focus
on each other. We spent time talking about our dreams and realising how special
the other partner was and how awesome our friendship was. No secrets! Wonderful
night!

Imagine yourself at work one day, there is a lot happening and you
are very busy. Anyway your wife has asked if she can have lunch with you
that day and you are not sure how you are going to fit it in. Well she arrives
at the appointed time and says, "let's go". So you hop in the car and are
told "never mind" when you inquire as to your destination. A little way up
the road she pulls into a local motel????? You wonder as she gets out a key
and takes you into a unit where there is a romantic setting prepared for you
pleasure, candles flickering, grape juice waiting, and some sushi on a plate.
Well it ended up being a longer then normal lunch hour, which actually fitted
into your day quite nicely, and certainly a day to remember.
Plan today to do something romantic together.
Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife
of thy youth. Proverbs 5:18
Have Fun Together!
Create happy memories!
