• Go on a picnic Pack a selection of your favorite snacks, a blanket and a radio and head for your favorite beauty spot. There's nothing like a bit of al-fresco living!
• Eat fish and chips by the seaside Childhood meals can still make you go gooey as an adult.
• Give and take Let your partner have that night out with the boys on Saturday night, but only if he takes you for a meal on friday.
• Sweet nothings Buy your partner a little treat once in a while. It doesn't have to be expensive- a favorite chocolate bar or magazine will do nicely.
• Talk to each other Switch off the telly, share a bottle of wine and have a chat.
• Be culture vultures Go to see a play or film.
• Do something exciting Arrange to go white-water rafting, learn to abseil or have sailing lessons. Sharing new experiences gives you different things to talk about.
• Compliment each other Sometimes we take it for granted that our partner knows they look fantastic or are a fabulous cook. But often it pays to state the obvious!
• Get away Sometimes the daily grind can put pressure on a relationship. Arrange a break even if its overnight.
• Have a laugh Watch a comedy or go to see a stand up comedian. Watch old videos of the kids when they were little or get out the old family photo albums.
