Do you miss the surprises that your lover would give you on Valentine’s Day, ever since you tied the knot with him or her? Well, you’re not the only one who feels so. “While dating is an important phase of discovery for every couple, with each partner being extra-attentive about impressing each other and spending time with each other, things tend to become slightly mundane for most after marriage,” says psychiatrist Niranjan Reddy.

Well, now that Valentine’s Day is around the corner, how about revisiting old times, and making your spouse feel special? Here are some easy ways:

Dress better: Okay, if that sounds superficial, you must also know that your spouse won’t love you less if you don’t dress up, but there’s no harm in decking up a bit if that makes him or her feel a little more special.

Send flowers to workplace: Surprise your hubby or wifey by sending a bunch of flowers or may be just a rose at his or her workplace. Unexpected surprises are a sure-shot way to make people feel special.

Cook a meal: Toss up a meal or may be just a cup of hot coffee and a nice breakfast before he or she wakes up. Search the net for some aphrodisiac recipes to make the event even more special after the meal.

Take an off: Bunk office, and just head out to a nearby destination, a beach, mountain or just a cosy spa date. If money matters bother, just rent some romantic movie DVDs and catch some ‘us’ time at home together.
