Love talk: Inexpensive ways to revive romance

Revive the romance, recreate the magic, and let the sparks fly once more, as you take turns to sweep your better halves off each other’s feet.

These lines may sound right out of a romantic flick but take them seriously and they can make a big difference in your love life. Know more on how you can get that old loving feeling back without spending big bucks.

Cook as a couple

Got some spare time this weekend? Don't laze and let it slip away. Instead, make the most of it as you two make a team and get into your kitchen to set the house on fire.

It doesn't matter what you end up making, but have fun while making it. We suggest you pick a simple recipe and go with the flow.

Write love letters

Sounds passé? Trust us, it works. Whether or not you are in the same city; it hardly matters. Nothing captures the honest and genuine flow of emotion for each other as a letter.

If you want, you can use funky-coloured stickers, scented paper, even dried flower petals, whatever brings back the romantic feeling. Keep it simple – write about little things you appreciate about your partner, why you two are such a great couple or why you lookup to her/him.

So pick up some interesting handmade paper, pour your heart out and spray something nice on it and seal it with a kiss. Have it sent by normal post or courier to your partner's office and let the magic begin.

Online escapades

Let your spouse be your surfing buddy. Take turns to suggest and surf each others' favourite sites together. Check out the websites of vacations for exotic locales and talk about what you two would like to do there, together.

In the middle of a working day, send a naughty e-mail to your partner or simply send a lovey-dovey e-card.

Hot calls

Nothing works like a quick sexy one-liner sent to your spouse on SMS. Tell him you are thinking of him, tell her what you'd like to see her in once you get back home.

Remind your partner of some good times you had at a recent vacation or dinner. This will not only revive your beloved at work, but make him/her eager to come back to you!

Surprise, surprise!

All happy couples agree that a sweet surprise once in a while works wonders. We are not talking about those drastic surprises, where you make someone's eyes pop.

Simple surprises – like sending her flowers or chocolates when there's no occasion, getting a new haircut or fancy lingerie for him or simply getting tickets for the latest movie she/he has been dying to watch for days.

Playing sexy games

When was the last time you played a game with your partner that you both enjoyed? Games can be a lot of fun, especially when you sex them up.

Play a treasure hunt – drop clues for your hubby and when he finds the treasure, his prize is – of course you!

Play snakes-and-ladders with a condition – whoever climbs a ladder, gets to kiss the other player.

So what are you waiting for? Try one of these and see the change yourself!
