Breakfast in Bed - Enjoy the Romance

Our daily commitments such as taking care of children, working, running errands, and dealing with social activities can take over our lives. It can leave us wishing for more time to rest and relax with the one we love. It would be fun to get away for a few days and focus on each other. Take the time to talk about what is important rather than what bills need to be paid that week.

Why not schedule a couple of days away from it all with just each other? You can do so at one of many great bed & breakfast locations found out there. Some of them are right around the corner from you so don't make an excuse that you don't have the time to be away or you can't afford to travel right now. Instead focus your energy on finding the perfect location for your get away.

Some individuals worry about the cost of it, but you shouldn't. There is no rule that says such time together has to be expensive. You can even stay at one a few miles from home if you want to. This can cut down on travel time and travel expenses. With the cost of gas these days it makes perfect sense.

The internet is all you need to really see what is out there. You will notice there are more bed & breakfast locations around than you may have realized. Choose one that offers you everything you want as well as a great price. Look for promotional codes online too that can save you more money. Don't forget to compare the prices for weekday rates and the weekend. You will likely find quite a price difference due to the demand for them on the weekends.

You can also find great pictures online so you know exactly what your money will be buying you. This eliminates the risk of you showing up and the room not being what you thought it would be. That could really put a damper on this nice romantic time you are planning for each other. If you have a certain look in mind then type that into the search engines to help you narrow down the possibilities.

If you need something in addition such as you want a certain bottle of wine at the room when you arrive contact them directly. Most of the bed & breakfast businesses owners are very willing to do these types of favors for you. If you call one and they don't then consider staying at one that will. Of course you can't leave such requests for the last minute and then expect them to do it so plan ahead.

While this may be a great trip to take for an anniversary or birthday, it can also be something you do to surprise your partner. Just let them know you have something planned and for what days. They will love the surprise when you show up together at the bed & breakfast. It will really show them that you want the relationship to be a top priority for both of you.

Take some time to really nurture yourself and your partner by getting away. Booking a stay at a great bed & breakfast can help you get connected again in a way that you haven't for some time. Get away from your daily responsibilities and really focus on each other. You will find that everything else is still there waiting when you return. Yet these short get aways can do wonders for your mood and for your relationship.

Love and Attraction

The Principle of Love and Attraction transcends limited and changeable attachments, dependencies, and emotions. Love is a fundamental principle of existence, a field of attraction, and a rapture that embraces the entire human existence. All existence is love. Like other manifestations of Existence; love has its own reality. The ordinary level of love finds its expression in everyday life, sexuality, friendship, and attractions. People often mistake sexual passion and sensual sexuality for the real and ultimate form of love, when in reality it is the lowest form.

Ordinary love, which is a manifestation of divine love, has real traces of true love. The lives of those who are in love are full of meaning and purpose. They are positive, hopeful, passionate, and giving. They see beauty as more beautiful and problems are less severe. However, because ordinary love is changeable and unstable, these feelings can turn into the opposite. Real love, the rapture that is hidden in the "I", is constant, and its positive characteristics are permanent and eternal.

Professor Angha describes love as synonymous with the most delicate and spiritual levels of life. Love is the power that binds together particles of matter, and sculpts the manifestation of Existence into its multitudinous shapes. Love is the very glue of existence.

The reality of Love is a burning essence, which is hidden within
the core of each element and strives to reach the state of boundless
unity to bind and unite with the all-pervading love of existence.

If human beings, who, like everything else are imbued with this principle, neglect their stable center, they can only experience love in its ordinary and limited dimensions; they will remain utterly unaware of the burning love and rapture which is the moving force of life.

"Love is an all–pervading electromagnetic force, which unites and connects all aspects of existence,
from the smallest particle to the whole infinite universe."

This attraction unites every aspect of existence; it connects human beings to their source of life, to their stable center, the "I". The "I" functions as a magnet that captures all energies, love and attractions that exist in the universe. All individuals have their stable center. When they discover and unfold it, they develop shared values and the ability to connect and bind together.

It works like an invisible glue and leads them to develop patterns of cohesiveness, cooperation, attraction, and love in its true meaning. Individuals imbued with the Principle of Love and Attraction are dynamic, vital, hopeful, and positive. Wherever they are, their presence radiates positive energy and liveliness.

When a Man Say "I love you"

Have you ever been in a relationship with a guy that progressed to the “I love you” stage? That’s the stage of a relationship when things are going well; you are enjoying each other’s company, and you believe the other person feels the same way.

It’s the point where your relationship can become more than just a friendship – it can become a vessel of long-lasting commitments, tender moments, and soulful intimacy. And you can get so excited about the possibilities of a relationship that you hear things that have yet to be said.

Now, I am of the opinion that 50% of relationships could progress to a marriage. All it takes is a willingness to nurture trust and care in a relationship that has marital promise.

But, the relationship gets off course because the man, woman or both make choices that alter the direction of that naturally progressing relationship. One is the assumption that the other has expressed love for you, when indeed they haven’t.

When you believe that someone has said “I love you” when they really haven’t, you begin to expect the other to be there for you way before they’ve decided they want to be there for you. You get hurt, the other person is confused, and the relationship fizzles away into nothingness instead of progressing forward to marriage. It’s sad, because if more people knew what love was, they wouldn’t jump the gun before its time.

For example, here are some phrases that sound like I Love You but really aren’t.

* I love that about you (I admire that aspect of you).
* I think I’m falling for you (I may love you, but I am not sure).
* I could love you forever (There’s a possibility I could love you, but I haven’t made up my mind yet).
* I love being with you (I love the way spending time with you makes me feel).

I mean, it’s hard to ignore what someone says, and some of these phrases do sound like a declaration of love. But they’re not. Saying I love you is sharing with a person that you care for them, want to aid them in life, and want to be responsible for their well-being. It’s a major step, and one that shouldn’t be ignored. If a person loves you, they can become a reliable companion for you.

The difference between I love you and I’m in love with you.

Many times, you’ll hear someone say to another, I love you but I am not in love with you. This usually means “I am motivated to be there for you, but I am not romantically attracted you”. But did you know that people can be in love with you, but not love you?

Being in love with someone is when you admire their body, character, motivations, personality, habits, or abilities. It’s focused on how that person makes you feel when they are around you and how much better the world is when you get to share their company.

But loving someone requires more than that.

Loving someone requires two things. First, you have to believe there is some way you can help that person. You have to see a way you can show care, and the more opportunities you find, the more you believe you can love them. Second, you have to make a decision to be there for them. Even if you see there’s a way you can nurture, protective, encourage, suffer with, or aid a person, you still have to chose to do all those things, regardless of how that decision will affect your own life. Loving someone is less about what the person does you for, and more about what you can do for them.

So, sometimes, when you “think” you hear a person say they love you, they’re really saying they’re in love with you. They like you, they admire you, or they are aroused by you. The focus is on what you do for them, not what they can do for you. It’s beautiful, but it’s not enough to begin sharing love with that person. You have to wait for the “I love you” both in what they say, and what they do.

When a man and woman say “I love you” it’s because they want the other person to know they have made the decision to be there for them. And they want to hear if the other person feels the same way about them. It’s a turning point of any relationship, because now you can judge the other person’s intentions based on their actions.

Some people will still say I love you, and not mean it. But many people won’t even go there if they don’t mean it, because now they are really on the line. A friendship can go on for months and months, but once you say I love you, it’s either on or off, yes or no, is you is or is you ain’t!

So please, only say “I love you” when you mean it, and give the benefit of the doubt when someone else says it. If they really love you, you’ll know it because they will begin to treat you with love, if they haven’t already. And until they do say so, enjoy the time you share with your friends, and wait on love to blossom in its own time. If love is there for you, you will have it. And if it’s not, love may be waiting for you in the heart of someone else close by.

Men are Crazy for Women Love

This might sound a vague question but has means a lot to people entering into a relationship. A definitive response to this is impossible and answers could go on forever. Every man has his own strengths and his own issues and insecurities. Moreover, men go through different stages of life and relationships have different stages. What men want in a woman varies widely. But here are a few things which men look for in a woman which makes them go crazy!

Men look for health (physical, psychological, emotional)

They look for a woman who appeals to them physically from some aspect. That is to say some men might like a woman for her hair while some could like a woman for her physique.

  • Men look for the outward appearance of physical health, e.g. clear, bright eyes, a body not too overweight and not too underweight, clean lustrous hair, clean nails, clean body, few if any blemishes.
  • All said and done, there is a certain degree of physical attraction which is involved which attracts men to women. Once the physical aspect is taken care of, the next step that of emotional and psychological health is ascertained

Honesty

Among the more latent trait men look for a woman who can be trusted completely. This also implies a certain degree of faith and chastity, someone who is not likely to sneak around and sleep around with other guys.

Similar interests

Generally it is found that men in love look for women who have similar likes and dislikes and their set of interest overlap with theirs.

Appreciation

Pride is something that is primal to a men in love and he looks for a woman who does not hurt it. In other words, men look for women who have a certain sense of appreciation for what they do and who they are. This also means that comparison between men is not something that goes down to well wit them.

Passion and Manageable ego

Men generally look for women who have a spark in them. This spark could be with regard to their passion for various things including love making! They generally try to find a woman whose ego is not at par with theirs.

  • A partner for life and soul
  • Emotionally strong woman
  • Who gives him own space and doesn't pester him beyond reason.
  • An interesting woman and with mediocre levels of intellect
  • With a creative bent of mind

Sometimes men prefer women who are artistic in nature. This adds that extra spice in their relationship and also helps them when it comes to having a family.

Have a Romantic First Night

Gone are the days when brides and grooms wait until marriage to make love for the first time. With the exception of those whose religious beliefs require them to be virgins until marriage, few people today refrain from physical intimacy before becoming a newlywed. Still, when the reception is over and you and your new spouse find yourselves alone, you’ll want that first night as married people to be special and extra romantic. You can make it a night to remember whether you’ve never been with one another or you’ve lived together for years.

In practically no time at all, you'll set the stage for romance. Here's How:
  1. Choose the right place to spend your first night. If you’re looking for romance, then you should retreat to a hotel room or your own home together for the evening. Leave your entourage behind and focus on each other. Those who have had destination weddings might already be in a luxurious resort on a beautiful island somewhere. But even if you’re in your own hometown in small-town America, you should pick a place where you can be alone, relax, and enjoy each other’s company.
  2. Bring food with you. Many newlyweds are so busy greeting guests and dancing at the reception that they do not get much to eat. Ask your caterer to give you a doggie bag or make sure the hotel or wherever you end up staying has fruit or some other snacks on hand. You might be starving when the party is over – and a growling stomach can ruin the mood and your desire.

  3. Pick the right undergarments. Brides and grooms spend a lot of time dressing up for the wedding. But they should also make sure their undergarments make them feel sexy and presentable to their spouse. Wearing something fun for only the eyes of your partner can be a real turn on. Women, of course, have more options than men. For the ladies, a slinky white nightgown, pretty thong, and garter might do the trick. And men might prefer a simple silk boxer. Be true to yourself. The important thing is that you choose something that makes you feel both comfortable and desirable.

  4. Have flowers and candles at the ready. Set the stage for romance with rose petals that lead to the bed and soft candles lighting the space. Wedding planners often prepare the hotel room for couples, but you can do it yourself if you planned your event solo. Decorating your room adds to the ambiance with the aroma of flowers and the mellow candlelight, but also helps set this night apart from any other you might spend together.

  5. Treat each other to something special. Run a bath for your spouse. Give each other massages. Have love letters waiting on each other’s pillows. Do something romantic and out of the ordinary for one another to show how happy you are to finally be married. You’ve announced your love to the world; now announce it again to one another. Nothing could be more special than that.

  6. Kiss, hug, laugh, and love. The rest will come naturally, so you won't need any further direction. Enjoy one another and be happy!
