In a marriage, I have found that it's extremely important to keep things fun and exciting. A great way to do this is by flirting. I know, I know....flirt with your spouse? Some may be thinking, "What's the point of that? It's not like you have to earn that goodnight kiss!" Say what you like, but flirting is...well... fun! The invention of text messaging, for many, has radically changed the way we flirt with one another. For instance, there's the kissy-face icon that you can add to the bottom of your messages. (Or you can be totally old-school and use the semi-colon wink....it creates an entirely new meaning to "Hey, honey, what do you want for dinner? ;)"....)
Another way to spice up your flirting by text is to send random messages throughout the day telling your lover-boy/girl how much you can't wait to see them, hug them, kiss them.... and so on (if you require further instructions, you're on your own.).
So, the last couple of weeks, my husband and I have been flirt-texting like rapid fire. We start in the morning and message each other all day. In fact, we could write the BOOK on flirting! We tickle each others' fancies all day, then come home, plan a nice meal for the evening, and then..... Nothing. NOTHING!! Apparently flirting all day takes the energy right out of ya, because as soon as dinner is done, all either of us can think about is sitting down to watch T.V. or going to bed. "We'll try again tomorrow," we tell each other, but deep in our hearts, we know tomorrow's schedule....and we know that we'll be even more tired then than we are now. But we flirt all day, nevertheless. And again, dinner time comes around and we simply poop out.
He'll say, "Do you wanna?" And I'll reply with something like, "Um, sure! I mean, only if you want to...." And then he'll sigh and murmur, "Well, it's really up to you.... that was a big meal, afterall." And then I'll put us both out of our misery and say, "Tomorrow then?" And he'll respond with a grateful, "Excellent idea!"
We call ourselves the Flirt Till Five couple. But it's really not THAT bad....I mean, most couples don't spend nearly this much time with foreplay and lovey-dovey goodness! But, then there's the whole pregnancy goal for this year...... I wonder if my boss will understand if I have to start leaving work at 3.....

One bit of advice I have that works for us is we just skip dinner. We always find we are more hungry after. ;-)
