Date Night

Even though Valentine's  Day is over, don't let romance take a back seat in your relationship.

The way you love, depicts the way you get love returned. Give love the way you want to receive love.
Today life is so busy, what with work, children, their outside activities and other commitments, it's not surprising couples are tired and not spontaneous.
If you enjoyed a romantic Valentines, keep the romance going. It's the little moments that can mean the most.

Couples who have problems in their relationship site:
: Lack of communication
: Stress
: Feel stuck in a rut
: Money problems
: Intimacy Issues

Plan a weekly, if not monthly, date night.  A date does not have to be expensive,
Grab lunch; eat at the lake, sit in the car and watching the birds, ducks, or people fishing.
Just that little change in your daily routine will brighten your day and put a smile on your and your valentine's face.

Spice up your evening with romantic love songs, soft music relaxes your senses and can take the edge off a long day.
A hot bath enjoyed by two, can be your new vacation destination, draw a bath, a glass of wine, intimate caressing, let conversation be uplifting (don't discuss work, kids or bills, there is plenty of time for that). Maybe discuss a future trip, a weekend getaway, or your next date adventure (take dance lessons together, get a couples massage).

Remember what brought you together in the first place. Why did you fall in love with your partner? Leave him or her love notes, get some chalk and write on the sidewalk or driveway, put a blanket in the yard and watch the stars.

Romance takes two, but can be defeated by one, don't be defeated!

2015

 I love Valentines Day !
It's my favorite holiday, I admit it I'm a romantic, I guess that's why I love helping couples with their relationships. I love Valentines Day because it's all about romance.
I think Valentine's Day bring out the best in couples. Some try to surprise each other, even out do each other, which only makes the other partner try harder to out-do their mate.
 Just think how much nicer it would be if every month there was a Valentines day... a day set aside just for lovers! Just to show each other I LOVE YOU!!! and I want everyone to know it!
 You don't need a calendar to say it's Valentines day to show how much you love each other.
Make it your own.
 Tell yourself every 14th of the month you will do something special for your mate, such as breakfast in bed, hot chocolate in front of the fireplace, for no reason at all.
When your mate comes home surprise them with dinner by candlelight, that's truly romantic, that is if you didn't forget to pay the electric bill, then NOT so much
 If you need idea's stop by Xcite for romance  ideas or do some research on line, you'll see romance can be fun....and can lead to even more romantic adventures.
Romance can either start or stop with you. You make that decision.
Why not try to make 2015 your most romantic year in your life so far.
Remember Love is a verb....an action word...so get into action!

2014

As the year 2014 comes to an end, we should stop and reflect on the events of the year.
For some of us new people ( loved ones ) have come into our life's, and sadly we have loss loved ones.
 If we reflect, we would want to know, have the ones that have gone on to a better place know how much we loved them and cared for them?
As we go into 2015, make it a point to let everyone you love know how much you love them. You never know when the last time is going to be when you see them.
Even coworkers, or friends, tell them how much you appreciate them. Grace them with a smile or if  appropriate a hug. Neither cost you anything, and it could lift both of your spirits.
 For 2015, try to smile everyday, and see how much better you feel.
I plan to go into the new year, with a brighter outlook, so here's to 2015!

Love How you want to be Loved

Most people think relationships are hard, but they really are not. It's simple, Love how you want to be loved!  You have to accept things happen, you get disappointed, hurt, it's going to happen. You can not control another persons actions, simple, you can't, but you can control how you react  to the situation. Again, Love how you want to be Loved. Forgive how you would want to be forgiven.
 Think back to the day you said your I do's, at that moment all was right with the world, your future  bright your floating on air so to speak. Then Life gets in the way, but reflect and remember the I do's and it can get you though the day.

Giving

I also feel to truly love someone....You put their needs/wants first before yours.
 I feel if you show love and attention to your mate, for no under lying  reason, it will come back to  you ten fold.
 Men just think how happy your mate would be if you had her dinner ready when she came home, with nothing left for her to do but sit down and enjoy your  hard work. She would have more energy and time to devote herself to you.

First of all let introduce my self. My name is Kathy Henry, owner of Xcite Lingerie, located on HWY 58 in beautiful Chattanooga TN.
I opened Xcite in 2001, with the help and encouragement of my husband Rex. We have been married  for 39 years.
 I thought long and hard when coming up with the name for the store, I chose Xcite for many reasons.
 I feel like you need  to keep your relationship" Xciting"
 I spelled it with an X so you would know it's not your " mothers" lingerie.
When you keep it Xciting you keep it fresh!
 Ok, so here goes my first blog,

 I feel to truly love someone.....you must first love yourself.
