In my short 6 years of marriage (well in July it will be 6, but close enough), I feel that Sam and I have mastered the art of:

Keeping the Romance Alive

What do we have to show for it?

4 kids

…jealous???

So obviously we’re doing something right, ha!

The other day I was reading a great new blog I found and the writer was addressing how to keep the “spice in your marriage”. It got me to thinking and there are a few things I want to share with you. Yes, I will tell you the secrets. 

How bad would it be if I keep all the “Holy Grail” info to myself?

We’ll start off with a few common romance tricks, and then I’ll give you them the good ‘ole Brittany twist. This is life changing, legit stuff so pull up your chair, put on your comfy slippers, start sipping a cup of delicious coffee, and get out pen and paper. Cause you’re going to want to write these little golden nuggets down.

Seriously, y’all should pay me for this stuff!

So let’s get started…

Scenario 1:

* Surprising your husband when he comes home from work with some sassy lingerie.
      – While this sounds like a great idea it is very typical.

Instead try this


* Show up wearing this:

      – So when you do decided initiate the “hokey pokey” then he will be really surprised!!! Works every time!

Scenario 2:

* My dad wanted to wisp my mom away to Paris for their 30th wedding anniversary
      – Before you swoon, that’s a lot of money there buddy…

Instead try this


* A trip to your local grocery store.

      – You have the luxury of no kids, there’s food involved, and your saving money. It’s like the Extreme Couponing for dating!

Scenario 3:

* (Men) Bring home some flowers.
      – Though the flowers may look pretty, they die fast. And that is what we are wanting to prevent in your marriage…got it. 😉

Instead try this

* (Men) Bring her home this:

      – Then she’ll stay awake long enough to make Scenario 1 happen. Genius!

Scenario 4:

* Buying new clothes/jewelry
      – Again I’ll never turn down jewelry (let’s be honest) but it is overdone. And that is no good on the spicy marriage scale.

Instead try this


* Folding laundry

      – Nothing says “Baby I want to spice things up” more than a freshly folded pair of undies. Can I get an Amen?!

Scenario 5:

* A carriage ride through downtown at night
      – Now again, hold back your “awes” this is just not reality. We don’t want her daydreaming about a life of a princess that she will never have. (then she might start looking for the sugar daddy who will provide it)

Instead try this


* Rides in your swagger wagon through the hood.
      – Not only do you get the comfort from music and the a/c, but you leave the hood feeling grateful for what you have. Now you see where I’m going?

I know, right?!?

I’m like the Albert Einstein of romance.
Crazy hair and all.

You do these things and believe me the fireworks will happen.

Oh yeah!
