8 Creative Ways to Flirt With Your Spouse

Remember senior-class notables in high school? Most Athletic, Most Witty, Most School Spirit, Best All-Around, and Most Likely to Succeed were only a few of them.

I’m a bit embarrassed to tell you that they created a new category for me …”Most Flirtatious!”

That’s not necessarily something to be proud of, but I am proud that I still like to flirt with my wife, Susan. Married people should flirt with each other … a lot!

Flirting, by definition, is playfully communicating sexual interest and attraction to someone. And flirting with our spouses can reap lots of benefits. Flirting can communicate, yet again, that we still find our spouse attractive and vice versa. It can create more intimacy with your spouse.

Flirting in front of our kids, even though they may react with something like “That’s gross,” will reinforce a sense of love and stability at home as they see their parents showing a healthy desire to be with each other.

So here are 8 playful, fun and creative ways to flirt with your spouse:

1. Leave a note for her (maybe on her pillow or the bathroom mirror) before you go on a trip. “I can’t wait to get back to see you!” may be something you’d like to say  Or, let her know you appreciate something specific about her, like “Thanks for taking care of so many details when I’m gone … you do a great job!”

2. Leave a note on her car rear view mirror saying, “I’m jealous of this mirror because it’s looking at you.”

3. Serve them practically in a surprising way. If you don’t normally cook, make him or her their favorite meal and have a candlelight dinner … just the two of you. For some spouses, it’s the simple acts of service that let them know you love them.
