Beauty and external body endowments most probably were the first things that attracted you to her but there is more to it that meets the eye.

I came across some useful tips that would help spice up love relationships especially in marriage. Some of these tips were originally posted by Larry James.

[dropcap]Y[/dropcap]our watch is on deck and there is this guy you are going out with. He swept you off your feet the first time you saw him. He is so smooth, has sweet lips and a firm butt. He also dresses well, makes you laugh and even buys you lunch. He seems like the perfect gentleman and you couldn’t hesitate to say yes the first time he asked you out for a date.
