Here are some simple, fairly inexpensive date ideas for those of you who wish to add a little romance to your relationship:

1) A picnic in the middle of your living room, with a nice bottle of wine, candles and the music of your choice.

2) A candle lit dinner in your own backyard, patio or terrace. Use the stars as your backdrop and the candles to create intimacy.

3) If there is a river or lake nearby see if there is a company that does champagne river or boat tours. As your guide relates the local habitat, you and your honey can snuggle under a blanket and share a toast to your relationship.
