Sometimes we get so busy with our work that we don't get time to express our love to the most important person of our life. So here are some tips to bring back the romance into your marriage, by Times of India.

Spend quality time

Sometimes you maybe in the same room for hours but not talk to each other simply because you are busy with your own work. If you are alone with your husband make sure you spend the time talking to him.

Arrange for a date

If you have kids, arrange for a baby sitter and go out on a date. If he enjoys dancing then you can hit a nice place where you can shake a leg. If your man would like to indulge in some games take him to a bowling parlour. Believe it this will work like a charm.

Be the chef

Food is the easiest way to a man's heart. So, cook a great meal comprising of the dishes he likes. But if you aren't convinced about your culinary skills don't try and experiment, order food from his favourite restaurant and then set up some candles for a romantic candlelight dinner.

Leave love notes

Whether it's leaving some love notes around the house or SMSes or email, write him a lovey-dovey note. Men may pretend to be tough but they do like to know that they are on your mind.

Express it loud

Though you may have sent him a love note or email, there's nothing like professing your love every now and then. Do let him know that after all the years as a married couple you are still very much in love with him.

Shower him with attention

Dote on him once in a while. Praise him for his hard work. Men love attention though they may claim otherwise. Praise him for his taste in clothes or perfumes, he's sure to like it a lot.

Plan a surprise vacation

If you are not likely to get any alone time in the city, plan a vacation. Depending on the kind of time you both can spare, take a long or short trip. You could take him out to the place he's always wanted to go.

Find ways to spend time together

It could be while travelling to or from work or just going shopping together or even a long drive after dinner. If you can't head out for a vacation just find ways to be in each other's company.

Let him spend time with his gang

Yes, you should spend some time together, but your man will really appreciate it if you let him spend an evening with his buddies. Ensure that you don't call him during the time when he is with his friends.

Appreciate things he does

Even if it's something simple, try and tell him how much you appreciate his help around the house. More then the praise and attention that you shower on him, it's this appreciation that will make him fall in love with you all over again. Learn more »

The southern wind knocked her rainbow-coloured umbrella high up in the air. Rather than chasing it across the field, she leaped on the luxuriant, green grass tossing one hand above her head, letting the umbrella go. Descending from her flight, she broke into a gleeful laughter, bringing out the child inside her, as she saw her only guard against the rainy onslaught fly away in the breeze. After a long, cruel summer finally she felt at ease.

The unruly sun had had its hay day and in the deepest corners of her heart she longed and even prayed for the rains. On harsh humid days she would just close her eyes and get transported into a world much different from reality. After a short spring that even had the cuckoos baffled, the persisting summer tested her patience but held promise of a long, heavy monsoon.

The prospect of greeting rain had her dancing like a heavenly nymph. She clutched the pleats of her blue sari and raised it above her ankles so as not to make the ends of her dress wet and hop-scotched on the moistened grass like a sparrow on a village courtyard. Rain always brought her glad tidings of the good times ahead.

Monsoon blues has always been a fashion statement, nothing more. The gloom associated with the season never caught up with her; she could pass the endless days of Bangladeshi monsoon in a cheerful gear.

She never complained of the drear nor did she appreciate the perils of monsoon, but in her heart it was a time to rejoice and laugh away the blues. She spread her arms, wrists dipped; head tilted, lightly placed on her left shoulder — like a scarecrow on a wheat field, not to scare away the imminent shower but to invite. And then the drizzle began — the first showers of the season!

She turned her head and looked up at the sky. As the water droplets fell on her eyelids and her lips, she tasted monsoon and instantly felt pure. The dipped wrists now faced the skies and her glare fixed at the heavens and all the while the drizzle turned into a downpour.

Wet from the mizzle, she sits on the green grass. The fragrance of water soaking the ground beckoned her to lie down on the wet earth. She could touch the vivacity of nature at the proximity of the green grass, and feel the earth come alive with a distinct smell, so familiar with the scene.

Just when she had immersed in the fragrances, the rain intensified. She lay softly on the ground and while she was cleansed, rain drops kept falling on her head. Learn more »
