    Wow! That’s my question. A nice dinner, bottle of wine and a massage always works. It’s even better when someone else makes dinner!

    My recipe for romance is keeping the faith even when you’ve hit a rough patch. It always gets better and it becomes even more worth it <3

    For me,, romance is cliche. A glass of wine with over a nice dinner, whether it be home or at a nice restaurant; along with warm, flirty conversation ;)

    My recipe for romance is to always set aside “couple time”. Even though me and my bf have our separate computer rooms and spend a lot of time separate, we ALWAYS have dinner and a movie together EVERY night! This keeps us close and we always (well I always force him to) cuddle. :D

  19. 19

    my recipe is as follows
    1 little boy 18 months old
    1 husband who loves you!
    1 bottle of warm apple juice
    1 little black dress
    I pair of hot black heel shoes
    2 oz of puke on your black dress
    2 oz of buggies on your dress
    2 cups of tearson your dress
    mix all togtehr and you get a very tried mom and dad who fall asleep with their son between them. This was our Valentines yesterday! LOL
    But even after that we had a great time!

    My recipe is patience and being able to give and take. We just had our 28th anniversary so it must be working. fb & twitter: sillelin

  22. 22

    1. copious amounts of alcohol (for me, not him)
    2. well-stocked pantry (whipped cream, chocolate, you know) toss your diet out the window (as well as your panties! LOL)
    3. viagra (for him, not me)

    :D

    I keed, I keed. Turn on my mind, and the rest of me will follow, willingly.

    My recipe for romance is being spontanous.

    Being in a routine gets very dull fast.

    Best to buy a silly little kink item [like edible panties or a tiny whip/flogger] and “hide” in it a common spot your lover will find without thinking about it ;)

    Happy valentine’s day.

    My recipe for romance is to secretly book a quick overnight get away for the hubby and I…..it’s the only way to get rid of all distractions and be able to focus on each other!

    My recipe for romance is always saying I love you to each other and giving a kiss and a nice long hug before bed…even on the days when I want to rip his head off :D

    Quiet time in a place that has meaning between me and my love. Add in our favorite foods and drinks and bring in a portable music player to be able to play if our setting is outside. Talk about our past and all the things we love about each other while cuddling together. Just most importantly; make the whole day about the two of us.

  32. 32
    Anne Zackery

    1. Simple silly gifts like post-it notes around the house telling your significant other how much they mean to you.

    2. Play your favorite tunes and dance in the living room together. Be silly! Have fun!

    3. Pull out the family photo album and reminisce on good times, and make new memories!

    Judy Williams

    Being best friends, laughing and playing together, taking care of each other, little surprises to let the other person know how often you think of them

  34. 34

    My recipe for romance is good food, good wine and good music! It’s up to me and my hubby to figure out what to do with those three things to create romance!

    Working at it. Not being lazy about the whole thing and think you already got your partner, now you can relax., you can’t. you gotta keep at it to make it work

    Before kids, I would have said flowers and a nice dinner. These days my recipe for romance is simple….make an effort. Help with the kids, unload the dishwasher you the everyday stuff. That way when my dh wants to be romantic I won’t be to exhausted to participate. LOL Happy Valentines day everyone!

    My recipe is once every two months or so we take an overnight or weekend trip up to Niagara Falls. Just the two of us, relaxing, eating and enjoying each others company. And gambling, of course, at the casino.

    My recipe for romance is appreciation – appreciate what your other half have done for you, let him/her know that just being there for you is very important for you. No matter how long the couple have been together, always tell your other half that you love him/her, miss him/her (even though he’s just away for work). Every day can be Valentine’s Day and no need to spend a lot of money!

    Barb Noga

    My recipe for romance is candles, a bottle of wine and a fire in the fireplace. We’re married 42 years, so add respect for each other, kindness, consideration, loyalty, allowing each other to be themselves, making time for each other, never stop courting each other, saying you’re sorry when you need to, if you’re wrong admitting it and I won’t say never, but rarely having a cross word to say. Making it work takes stamina, fortitude and a good recipe for romance. Happy Valentine’s Day

    Even with 3 kids and the frustrations of everyday life (including lack of sleep) my wife and I always try to have at least one date night when we sit down and watch a movie or tv show with guacamole and chips after the kids are in bed.

    Amber Mears

    Fun, laughter, and adventures. I tend to tease him a lot or make jokes so it’s a lot of fun :) we also love to go hiking and just be outdoors with our family of 3 dogs.

  49. 49

    Recipe for romance? Is there truly any such thing? Really I think in my house its keeping an open mind, adapting, and being adventurous when need be. The little things make all the difference. A tender touch, an unexpected hug. Its all good.

    We celebrate as a family, it keeps us all close
