We all need romance every so often. It is always nice to be reminded of the reasons why we spent the last x-number of years with our partner. For some reason, the first time is always the best. But as everyday-life creeps into our relationships, romance often gets the last place in the queue...

When you are in a romantic spot, ask your partner if she would like to dance. Place one earpiece in her ear and one in your own and enjoy your private dance floor.

This technique is particularly effective if the romantic spot you have chosen is somewhere where people would not normally dance, for example, the top of the Empire State building at sunset or on top of a mountain during a camping trip.
