Filed Under (Romance) by Mrs Imran

I have been married for 3 years to my favourite guy. Throughout the years, never once we feel bored about our marriage, instead we keep looking forward for the next day to come as we can’t wait to shower each other with lotsss of love every today and tomorrow.

Sometimes I always wonder why people keep on saying that after get married for few years, things will change. For me yeah..true things do change, but in a better sense. From my experience some people give me and husband a detested look when we kiss and hugging publicly. I was like what’s wrong? We don’t do any intimate gesture(mind you), it is only a normal,innocent kind of kissing and hugging. Shall you feel that kind of love showing is inappropriate and embrassing, I feel sorry for you. Seriously.

Some also say that we still in honeymoon mode because we don’t have any child (just yet!). Ok, I can’t wait to for that moment to come so that I could prove to them, they are I indeed wrong. They should not get the idea wrong, babies/child is going to streghten the bonding in between yourself and husband. I know that things might be little bit stressful and chaos when your babies get cranky. But, a good understanding in between a wife and a husband shall enable the couple to sail smoothly in the fierce ocean.

I can’t say much about this, but once I got the oppurtunity to experience this, I will for sure pen it down here.

Actually, there are many ways to improve your love life. Some simple things sometimes means a lot to our spouse or partner. Like me, everytime when I pick up my husband from work, I will look out of my car’s window and waiting for his appearance. Once I saw him, I know he will be looking for me (and my car) as well, so once he spotted me we will instantly exchange flying kiss, waving hand and wear such a grateful smile on our face as if we have not been seeing each other for such a long period. The distance from where I normally park my car to the factory’s gate is about few metres away, I think in within 20 meters away. That’s pretty far but distance isn’t matter to us. That’s how we survived our 5 years long distance relationship I guess.

Kalau antara benua boleh bercinta, takkan setakat 20 meter tk boleh nk tunjuk cinta?

I do some research and there are actually many methods to enhance your relationship with your husband and preserve it. Perhaps you can try my method that I mention above like kissing, hugging, flying kiss and wear such a lovely smile on your face. It’s simple and easy but it does wonders or you can try the following living room dates that don’t even require leaving home;

1. Have a Picnic on the Floor. This is one place where the weather won’t change. The conditions in your home are perfect for a picnic anytime. Spread out the traditional gingham blanket and let the fun begin. Turn off the television and turn on the environmental music sounds to achieve the full effect of the outdoor atmosphere.

2. What about a Movie Night? We all like to turn down the lights and enjoy a good flick. This type of date is perfect for parents of small children. Once the little ones are tucked in bed and off in la-la land, set the scene. Pop a large bag or two of popcorn and your favorite drinks and snuggle up on the couch or a blanket on the floor. Take turns watching each other’s favorite type of movies.

3. Game Night. What are your favorite games? Mix it up a bit between board games, video games, and kid’s games. Yes, I said kid’s games. You and your husband can play hopscotch, Twister, or I Spy. The night is about laughs and getting to know each other again, so have fun with it.

4. A Night of Karaoke Fun. You may not sound like a professional songstress, but that shouldn’t stop you from having a good night of laughs singing your heart out. Sing romantic songs together that you enjoyed when you were dating. Go one step further and dress the part before the performance. Take turns singing love songs to each other.

5. Spend a Winter in the Mountains. If it’s cold outside, find warmth around a cozy fire. Light some candles for a romantic mood. Make a cozy pallet on the floor and serve hot cocoa with marshmallows. Enjoy some cheese, and fresh fruit together to help you keep warm.

6. What about a Spa Night? Dress up in terry cloth robes and fuzzy slippers. Give each other manicures and pedicures. Men aren’t too practiced in this area so your handiwork may look better than his, but it is the thought that counts. Finish up with massages.

7. Night at the Strip Club. For a bit more seductive living room date, take it all off - literally. Leading up to the date, pick out your outfits and practice your “routine.” Don’t take it too seriously though. Have some fun with it and each other.

You don’t have to leave your home to have an interesting date. Turn your living room into any locale you can imagine to make it fun and out of the ordinary. I have yet to try all of the above method as I don’t own a house yet. We live with our parents and it’s awkward to do all that with the present of parent and sibling. Oh, we do by the way bath together :)

So, mind sharing with others your romance tips?

awww..how shweet! but yes, i do agree that married couples should not stop showing affection to each other, tak kira la dah 20 years kawin ke..or even when uve dozen of kids! haha. as for the public reaction, i guess its just cos of our nature being asians. or malaysian esp. we’ve been brought up with a culture thats not really open to parents showing affection for each other. but then again, not all asians are like that.

weve been married for 2+ years now, i guess there is a slight different in terms of our relationship now that we’ve a baby in the picture. things tend to get stressed up when ure raising a child so romantic efforts are a must! i think we’ve tried on most of the points u mentioned except for picnic on the floor. haha. we used to stay in our parents hse as well back in msia, and i get what u mean by not being able to do some stuffs ‘freely’. but now that we’re living on our own…we tend to be creative! romantic candle light dinner at home is one good gesture! a home made one of course! another one would be just trading lovely text msgs just to bring smile to our partner’s face. or a nice hot bath together! we love those! but now got limitation la…haha. baru berendam 5 mins and the baby’d cry. before the baby was born, we usually make it a point to go fine dining or have a quick weekend gateaway at hotels…just to keep things ’spiced up’! lol.

neway, here’s wishing u both a lifetime happiness together! may your lives be merrier with a presence of a beautiful child :)

what should i say…i envy you miza. envy for everything that you embrace now :) u got a husband that head over heels in love with you and a baby to die for! And now you guys living in Japan, it makes thing even more beautiful for you and family as I personally think that living somewhere far from your origin with your loved ones will make you cherish every moment together. I hope I am able to get into the picture soon by visiting you there. Haha.

We have yet to get a house that we could call ours, still searching. Wish us luck for the baby ok :)

I think it’s really sweet that the both of you are still sooo in love with each other :D I get what u mean cos for me n my hubby both of us oso sama je hehe we’ve been married for 5 years now and we still show our affection publicly (who cares la kan, dah kawin apa! :p) Actually this year siap ada lagi orang congratulate us on our marriage and we’re like “Err..we’ve been married 5 years oredi..but THANKS!” Haha

All i can say is, enjoy the moments cos not many people are blessed with genuine love and affection. U can see some people baru 6 mths or 1 yr kawin dah go separate ways…so u go girl! I so feel u abt the baby n house issues…for us, i baru nak pregnant this year with our first baby (yahoo! hehe) but sadly still staying at my parents’ place, hopefully we’ll move out soon since baby on the way kan hehe

As for spicing up our romance, sometimes we’ll go on a date, like, a real one macam masa dia nak tekel kita dulu2 tu..he’ll pick me up from work and i’ll actually make the effort to dress up la hehe… other than that we text each other a lot on the phone, mushy mushy, lovey dovey emails n sometimes macam budak2 main PS2 together! Movies, etc we still do that too :)

So all the best to u Mrs Imran and keep it hot n spicy! Good luck on the baby-making (enjoy it too hehe) n jangan pressure, insya-allah ada rezeki mesti ok punya punya! xxx

i hope that readers wont interprate my entry wrongly as I am not showing off or bragging about my relationship, like you said that not many people are blessed with genuine love and affection. but sometimes they do, but they dunno how to show ‘em.

i think send lovey dovey emails masa kerja adalah yg paling senang dan memberi kesan mendalam. sadly i cant send email to him sbb company dia tk kasik main internet apatah lagi nk main facebook. heee.

Oh me ngan Nas simple jek. Kitowang main lawan-lawan, or tak pon gusti. Most of the time, he will just pegang I ketat-ketat and geletek I tapi I nie haaa dna agresif lebih. I akan golek-golek lah kat lantai or konon-konon nak stone cold dia lah. Actually most of the times memang betol pon I stone cold dia, then akan merungut sakit kaki or tangan or bla-bla-bla then Nas kene picit. Hahahahahahahaha. My mom pening jek tengok kitorang.

Or time I memang jahat giler, I akan curik his towel from the bathroom so that bila he nak keluar, takde towel. Hahahahahaha *gelak setan*

Come to think of it kan Penol, memang byk lah. And it’s these things I treasure the most. Ada couple macam Nas and me tak? Kentut kat each other. Sungguh tak senonoh kan? Kekekekekekeke

ary´s last blog post..nak dijadikan cerita lah kan

eh korang ni buat sarkis ker apa kt rumah? hehe. mesti org tingkat bawah musykil apakah acara hebat yg sedang berlangsung di rumah tingkat atas.

kalau u curik towel nas..nas kuar bogel la ker? hahaha. cakap malam dengar-dengar, bogel siang pandang-pandang…hihih

yg part kentut tu i rasa mmg ramai giler la yg bertarung kentut, dulu ada satu entry i tu ramai yg comment pasal kentut bersama2 ni. i tk reti la kentut kuat2, kentut i ….senyap tetapi sangat padu baunya. hahahahaa.

hi!
i malas nak baca the rest punye comment..huhu…so i dunno if derang ada thought of what im thinking…
like u said that when u hug n kiss in public orang tgk kan. i think derang tatau u guys da kawin. ;)

ye la, mane nk tau rite, and takkan la pulak kite nk bgtau derang that kite da kawin pulak when they stares.
it’s just mentality problem je.

for me, it’s natural pasangan yang bercinta make a bit of PDA rite, baik dah kawin or not.i found it sweet n romantic.

just let what others think.
if they wanna think its memalukan, let them.its a free country kan..yang penting, we dun have to be ashame, because we luv someone.

bye!

yup betul, dimaafkan kalau diaorg tak tahu yg i dh kawen la kan..which is good for me sbb saya nampak sgt muda sampai org ingat kiterorg tk kawen lagi…haha

but to those yg terang2 tahu kiterorg dah kawen, apalah masalah besar sangat sampai nk menyampah?

tgk artis ceom2 pelok2 dalam tv tk menyampah pulak?

maaf tiba2 bertukar menjadi sgt marah. heheh.

Hehe the magic question “Bila nak berisi??”. Alah i dulu jawab ikut mood la, sometimes i jawab “Belum puas enjoy lagi la!” but usually orang tua2 ni cakap je le “Belum ada rezeki lagi agaknya…” n then just buat pekak n practice the concrete smile sebab lepas tu for sure punya akan datang nasihat2 n petua2 bernas semua orang la tu memang takleh buat apa…n trust me it doesn’t even end there, pastu bila dah pregnant macam2 lagi pantang-larang n petua2 mcm kat i nye blog tu hehe sampai tension i! But i guess the key is jangan pressure, just go with the flow :)

Haa i pon nak post u nye link jugak…jom la exchange2 :D

ekceli kan…i mcm geli la bila dioarg tanya bila nk berisi..sbb i rasa soalan tu mcm membayangkan seribu satu bayangan. i lagi “ok” kalau diaorg tanya…dh pregnant? berisi-berisi ni i rasa geli semacam la.

ha petua2 tu for sure la kan…pastu siap offer ubat2 itu ini la…akar kayu balak la, kayu ubi la…segala mcm la..which none of it i dare to try la kan and I jamin diaorg pon tk berani try, tapi berani suggest jer…huhuhu.

ok nnt i letak ur link kt blog i ni eh

kahkahkahkahkahkah soalan berisi tuh memang amatlah dibenci sekalik!!

Anyways Penol, I think u’re right lah pasal tingkat bawah musykil acara akrobatik apakah yang sedang berlaku di tingkat atas coz semalam masa balik kan, the old lady unit bawah asyik pandang I dengan muka menakutkan. Agaknya I kacau kot sesi sinetron dia.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Nas takkan keluar bogel kalo either one of my parents ada. Sebabnya kan, kitorang kalo mandi haruslah mandi di master bedroom nya bilik air. Ada water heater maa. And most of the time either my mom or dad akan lepak kat bilik tgk tv sebab tv depan I dah konker. Al-kisahnya, Nas akan terpekik-pekik meminta simpati untuk tualanya muahahahahahaha. Time tuh I adalah sangat eksyen ok. Dengan bangganya I akan tanya “So who’s the boss now bebeh??” hahahahahahahahaha.

Alamak mampos kalo Nas tahu aku citerkan ini semua.
