For this romantic idea, if you have children, wait until they are in bed – if not, then any time will work – but after dinner is best, IMO.  Go get some kind of “romantic” snack – something like strawberries and chocolate syrup, in separate bowls so she can dip if she likes.  If she likes wine, have some of her favorite wine in a glass for her – think of what she likes – you are romancing her, not yourself.

Then when you are about to sit down to watch TV, suggest that you leave it off (or turn it off, if it’s on). Tell her you would love to just sit and chat and you have a little surprise for her.  Go outside if it’s nice, or find a comfortable place to relax in the house – but not the bedroom.  Bring out the snack and drinks on a tray and then just chat.  Ask her about her day.  Let her vent, if she needs to.  Listen to her.  Compliment her.

This is not about sex – it is about romance.  Romance is about building a connection with your wife.  Remember, women find the act of relating to each other emotionally more important than relating physically.  But keep in mind: when your wife feels a closer connection to you, her desire for you will eventually soar.
