For many people, the bedroom is a sanctuary – a place to retreat to in order to escape the chaos of the day and put weary bones to rest. Of course, for many couples, it is a place of romance, passion and desire, where just the right atmosphere is set for the things of love.

This past weekend was very rainy in my neck of the woods, and it got me to thinking, “This is definitely perfect weather for a Bed Day for married couples.” Now, when I say, Bed Day, I’m not just talking about sex. As you know, I like to get a little creative with my inspirations.

My version of a Bed Day involves a total and absolute pact of laziness, preferably on a weekend like a Saturday.  You and your spouse agree to spend the day in pajamas (or sleep lingerie for the women, whatever you prefer). You can even agree to take it a step further by having a shower-less day, and taking that shower at night. (I did say lazy, didn’t I?) Then, you agree to have fun times by playing games in bed: fun, trivia games on the internet, board games, quizzes, whatever you feel like!

Of course, let’s not forget meals in bed as well. My guess is that with the schedules of so many couples, they rarely get a chance to eat together. This is the perfect opportunity to do just that. Grab a TV tray or small table, and eat off the same plate. If you’re like me, somehow, food and romance is definitely bound. You can even get silly by trying to create a Lady and the Tramp moment: let the forkful or spoonful of food be shared by you until your lips meet and the food is broken in half. You can do this with the classic pasta, bread, chicken breast, etc.

I guarantee that spending this day together in bed in a way that is fun and silly will bring a playful romance to your relationship. Enjoy your cuddly, rainy day together – and if you try it, feel free to tell me how it goes.
