Check your local listings Set the Stage for a Romantic Dinner
From: Anniversary Dinner
Cristina shows you how to cook up a romantic anniversary dinner, but her delicious dishes are only part of the package. Make your celebration totally memorable by setting the stage for romance. Follow these tips to get closer to the one you love. Get a babysitter. If ever there were a good night for a sleepover at grandma's house, this is it. You love your kids, but this is your night, not theirs. Clear out the house so that it’s just you and your partner. When was the last time you were all alone together? Communicate with each other. Really look into your partner’s eyes when he or she is talking. When was the last time you gave each other your undivided attention? Mention memories, count up the years, look to the future. Appreciate how much it means to be together in this life. Pamper your mate. Take a bath together or give a massage or a foot rub. This is your chance to really indulge each other.
