Be physical out of bed
Touching your mate is not only meant for the bed. You should look for opportunities when you can
touch your husband - even a slight brush up against him, sitting very close to him on the sofa, or
simply holding his hand when you talk to him can create the power of physical intimacy. Physical
connection in small ways throughout the day make you both warmed up for intense action later.
Flirt
With your mate, that is. Don't be too much of a "mom" to talk "sexy talk" to your husband. Prime
opportunities are when he calls you from work to say hello or when he steps out of the shower at
home. Flirting can be as simple as using a pet name - "baby, honey, sweetheart, handsome" - or
making flirtatious comments or innuendo about his bod.
Create a romantic atmosphere
Bring out the romance in your home. Even if most of the home is "family space", reserve your own
bedroom for romance. Invest in flowers, aromas, candles, and different types of music to help
you both wind down and give you a feeling of sensuality. A romantic atmosphere plays a
significant role in making your married life sexy, for it is the atmosphere that changes the mind.
So turn off the television at some point and let the sparks fly.
Be spontaneous and fun
He'll least expect it - but jump in the shower with him when you can. If the children are asleep or
old enough to be left unsupervised for a short while, take advantage of opportunities to enjoy your
personal time with your husband in ways that you might have done when the relationship was
brand new. Kiss him in public, let him carry you on his back, run through the rain together, have a
picnic!
Write love notes
No matter how much time "mothering" your children requires, there's always a few minutes in the
day for jotting a quick note. Add it to his lunch, or put it on the dresser for him to find when he
wakes up. A simple "I love you handsome" is a good starter.
Go on dates
Really, you don't need us to tell you. You've heard the importance of Date Night, especially when
you have children. Alone time with your spouse is important, no matter what. But if you're the type
that's reluctant to entrust your child with a babysitter right now, don't fear - Date Nights come in all
forms. Put the children to bed early and turn on the monitor, and make no excuses about it. Date
Night in the home can be lying in bed together having an intimate conversation, watching a
movie, or giving each other a massage.
Make yourself look sexy
Who doesn't want a sexy wife? We're pretty sure every husband does. Dress in outfits that make
you look sexy. Chances are, high heels and the little black dress are not appropriate for your
stay-at-home mom routine, but guess what? The right pair of blue jeans can be just as sexy, if
not more so. Whether you are going out with the family on the weekend or are spending a quiet
evening at home, take time to make yourself look like a sexy lady, at least occasionally.
Kiss goodnight
Need we say more?

Forget the old notion that marriage after kids has to
be dull. Many segments of our society will let you believe
that it's normal and okay for your marriage to lose
feelings of love, sensuality, and excitement with the
passage of time, especially after children come into the
picture. Don't believe the hype! Your marriage can be
"sexy" for as long as you make it so. Developing the art
within you to keep things on fire (or to re-light the fire)
requires little time and effort, and can be worth more to
your lifelong partnership than you think. Here are just a
few certain tips you can follow to make your marriage
forever sexy.
