-
 Arrange for both you and your spouse to take a day off--and then do something you enjoy together.

-
Before your next day at the beach, prepare a special message in a bottle for your loved one. Hide it in a place where the two of you will come across it as you lead him on a walk.
-
Blindfold your husband and “kidnap” him. Take him to a hotel room where you have prepared a romantic tryst.
-
Bring him a surprise from the grocery store--a magazine, a candy bar or whatever else will let him know you were thinking about him.
-
Buy him that CD, DVD, book, or video game that he's had his eye on.
-
Buy your guy a leather-bound journal and write inspirational and romantic quotes, thoughts and love notes for him. As you journey through life together, continue adding new thoughts that affirm your love and respect for him.
-
Circle and star a location on a map, then tape the map to the fridge. When he asks, just smile and wink--but don't tell. On the appointed day, drive him to the location and either have a picnic or just make out.
