In pure Jeff Foxworthy fashion … 
- If your “special” restaurant has a drive thru window … you might need to work on your romance.
- If you bought her Guitar Hero for Valentines Day … you might need to work on your romance.
- If the only time the two of you go away for the weekend it’s to a deer camp or deer blind … you might need to work on your romance.
- If your wife wears socks, sweats and an oversized t-shirt to bed on your anniversary … you might need to work on your romance.
- If the last time you “really” kissed her you were watching a football game out of the corner of your eye … you might need to work on your romance.
- If you only light candles to cover up unwanted smells … you might need to work on your romance.
- If you really don’t feel comfortable being intimate if your kids are in the same house, city or time zone … you might need to work on your romance.
- If the last time she ran her fingers through your hair she was checking for ticks … you might need to work on your romance.
- If the 3 little words you say to her most often are … “pull my finger” … you might need to work on your romance.
- If the only time your spouse says to you, “Turn off the lights and lock the door,” is when your parents pull into the driveway … you might need to work on your romance.
These are all in good fun, but seriously … romance never has to fade from your marriage. Romance in your marriage takes work and communication. God fully intended for you to be married to your soulmate … not just a roommate. Want some suggestions on how to be romantic? Try this and this.
I am a Christian husband and father, who moonlights as the minister for the church of Christ in Childress, Texas. My wife Lea and I have been married for 23 years. We are doing our best to raise our 4 boys, who are all growing up way too fast.

Funny cute and true.
Too Funny. I think romance should involve pillow fights in the bedroom, and possibly all over the house as well. However, the pillows should be Walmart’s cheapest brand.
That made me laugh, Ed.
Pull my finger, and the one about ticks…that’s great!
Why are you picking on me!! Good post.
