Romantic Interlude
It is difficult when you are married with children, to find the time to make Valentines Day special for your partner, you want to be romantic and share a few precious moments with your partner and just as you are getting comfortable one of the kids will interrupt with " Can I have a drink of water Please?" or one of the many other reasons children have to get your attention.
It isn't only on Valentines day couples with children find it difficult to share little romantic interludes and the romance soon fades into a distant memory of a time gone by.

Planning a Romantic Evening
Keeping the romance alive when you have children is a difficult task, it becomes a game of cat and mouse, you have to try and get yourself one step ahead of your children. Think about the reasons that children will use to wreck your romantic interlude and plan a little ahead, a glass of water on their bedside cabinet would solve one problem, another problem could be solved by keeping your children active during the day, play soccer with them, go for a long walk with them, keep them active and they will be so tired when it comes to bedtime that they will sleep.
The walk even with children present can be romantic, holding hands or having your arm around your partner's waist or shoulders, sharing a secret kiss as the kids run on in front of you, or play on the swings at the park. Sitting on a bench whilst the children play whispering those sweet little nothings into each other's ears. Who cares if the kids see what you are doing? Loving your partner is nothing to be ashamed of.

Sweet Little Secrets
Sweet little secrets can lead to hot passionate nights, and even with children present you can share little secrets with your partner that will leave you both feeling hot under the collar and ready for shall we say action.
A whisper in your partners' ear
Is really effective " I am not wearing any underwear" heard from your wife/girlfriend as any man will tell you is a sure fire way to set his pulse racing, and get his imagination fired up.
A little love note or poem
To your partner sets the mood, you don't have to be a literary genius, knowing your partners likes and dislikes, on the romance front should make it quite a simple task, short and sweet is best but its up to you if you want it to be hot and spicy or cuddly bunny style, which ever suits your partner best.
A Gesture.
Although women will deny it until they are blue in the face, they have secret little gestures that drive their men to desire, whether it is they way they look at you, or the way that they flick their hair, or even the way that they add an extra wiggle in their step, and children will be non the wiser to them.
Secret Code Words, a lot of couples make up little codes words between them, that their children have no clue about what so ever; it is a good way to share what you are feeling with your partner.
A Secret kiss and Cuddle,
Sharing a secret kiss and cuddle in a different room, from where your children are playing is an essential part of a loving romantic relationship, it is a reassurance to both partners that everything is good between them.
A gentle squeeze or pat,
When your partner stands up a gentle squeeze or a pat on the butt, is a little bit of harmless fun, that always puts a smile on both your faces, it is also a reassuring touch that lightens your step and your mood.
There are many ways to have little secrets between couples, that children will be unaware of that add to the excitement and enhance the romance.

Romance in the Bedroom
When your children are finally asleep in their beds, it is your time to shine, preparing the bedroom for a night of romantic love, is an essential way to keep the evening going, whilst your partner is taking a soak in the bath, you could be in the bedroom making it a romantic boudoir, light up a couple of scented candles, put out some massage oils,
You could even scatter some rose petals over the bed, use your imagination but try not to go overboard at the same time.
Setting the scene for a long night ahead.
P.S men love sexy lingerie, he says, as if you ladies didn't know that lol.
As a male, I have been guilty in the past of confusing romance with sex; romance doesn't always have to lead to the bedroom, but when it does keeping the romantic mood, will make it a night you will both remember for a long time.

Great hub!
I aways tell my husband that him cleaning the kitchen is VERY sexy! It takes some pressure off of me, and shows me he cares. Those things get me warm and fuzzy and in a much more romantic mood.
Thanks for that Wendy, interestingly I do help a little with the household chores when i get the chance, my wife has even praised me with sweet words like "it's about time you got up of your fat ass and did something" so romantic lol.....jimmy
jimmy, I may be guilty of the opposite, mistaking sex for romance. haha
what a great hub and I have to say, when you mentioned little notes or poetry, I pictured you writing a silly frozen sparrow poem to your lovely wife and her finding it romantic. if I'm wrong, don't tell me. I enjoy thinking of you two that way. :)
Your wife is a lucky woman ....go Jimmy
Awesome source for men
Great hub jimmy...but why do wives loose interest in sex as soon as kids come into the picture...beats me! Any idea(s)?
Good Stuff. Read through the romantic ideas and felt all warm inside. Then saw the Amazon ad for "Anal Massage" and kind of tensed up. Doesn't seem very Romantic! I guess it depends who you asked. Anyway keep up the good work.
