Candles, rose petals, satin, succulent foods, perfume-you're probably already familiar with all of these time-honored ingredients for creating a romantic mood on your honeymoon.
And candles, rose petals, and other sensual ingredients only go so far.
The really good key to creating a romantic honeymoon is to spend time celebrating your relationship and your new life together as a married couple. Finally, romance is more about the heart than the body.
All that doesn't mean you should put the candles away, but start setting the mood early by reveling in your relationship. Learn here five ideas to get you started.
1. Explore uncharted territory
Intimacy is a key ingredient for creating a romantic mood. In its most fundamental sense, intimacy is about revealing our interior selves to another person-the part of ourselves that we normally hide from others.
We do this - honor the other person as someone we cherish and trust. As it's often difficult to start sharing in this way, a game or book of questions can help.
The typical game of relationship questions is the Ungame, while the classic questions book is (appropriately enough) The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock. All these products contain hundreds of questions on topics ranging from ethics ("What would you do if . . . ?") to feelings and ideas. There are just two of many similar products that you can use in almost any setting-even in the car or airplane on the way to your honeymoon destination.
2. Combine Your Photo Albums
Purchase your first photo album together, if you don't get one at your wedding. Show up your photo albums and choose the best photos of each other from your dating days to put in your new album - it is a great way to relive old memories.
