Make time for date night. Remember to treat your bride to fun in your own town at least once every week. You don’t have to get too elaborate. Just send the kids to a sitter and enjoy a few solid hours of dinner, dancing, or anything else you and your wife love to do together. It doesn’t count if you don’t leave the house, or if it’s an event that only one of you finds fun. That means no football games or Xbox tournaments unless she’s a bigger gamer than you are.

Be more thoughtful in bed. If your idea in romance is a quick shag between Monday Night Football and bedtime, don’t be surprised if a visit from a divorce attorney is in order. Make an effort on a regular basis to satisfy your bride. That means putting everything else out of your mind – stress from work, worries about money – and focusing exclusively on her for a little while each week.

Christmas isn’t the only time for gifts. Buying a little something “just because” can keep the spark in your relationship, especially if there’s a sparkle in your present. With special catalogs, magazines, and weblogs devoted to great gift giving for women, you have no more excuses for giving her boring boxes of chocolate. Indulge her passions for art, clothing, jewelry, and anything else you know will make her smile. Girly gift ideas from Maggie and the MightyGoods team: http://www.MightyGoods.com
