#4: Entice Him
The icing on the cake to encourage your husband’s romance will be flirtatious interactions with you—the kind that both inspires and reflects romance. If you’ve been together for a while, it’s possible that you’ve settled into a kind of friendly companionship. Be the sultry soul mate again. Make yourself the kind of friend—both outside the bedroom and in it—that your man constantly wants to pursue. For most men, sex is a big part of romance and it means being close to you on all levels. And what’s more romantic than that?
Wherever your husband falls on the romance scale, it’s a pretty sure bet that he wants to please you. Just like when Michelle’s husband bought her that vacuum—he confided later that he heard her complain that their vacuum was on its last legs and he was trying to please her through providing for her! So, whether you realize it or not, your husband may be trying his hardest to romance you. Recognize that about him and appreciate his desire and efforts toward romance . . . and you’ll see romance a lot more often.
