8 Creative Ways to Flirt With Your Spouse
4. Text him when you get up and when you go to bed to let him know he’s the first person on your mind and he’s your last thought of the day. I texted my wife, Susan, saying “You are awesome! I love you!” before we went to sleep even though she was right next to me in bed. I loved how it made her feel, and it surprised me just how much it mattered to her.
5. Come up with something corny, but fun, to tell her or to email her, like “You must be overdue from the library because you’ve got FINE written all over you!” Or, “Can I have a fry to go with that shake?” (Search the internet sometime for more lame or goofy ideas.)
6. Turn on your favorite song on your smart phone and dance in the kitchen with them when they least expect it.
7. Get dressed up, go outside, knock on the door, and ask her out for a date … the kids will really get a kick out of this one.
8. Post a sincere, unexpected comment of praise for him on Facebook or Twitter. This has to be done in a humble way and should have substance to it. Don’t showboat, but do let the world know why he means so much to you.
There are many ways you can show your spouse you still “dig her” after all these years. These 7 Love Actions to Show Your Spouse may also help. Find what works for you, because not every idea that I shared here is going to work for you, much less for my own wife! One final thought: Even if your kids act grossed out, you’re not only showing them you are into their mom, but you’re also setting their expectations for how to be a healthy, flirtatious spouse someday.
