There are lots more ways you can say you are in the mood earlier in the evening. Like wearing a particular scent, playing special music, lighting a candle or opening a favourite wine at dinner, or a welcome home kiss with that 'not so innocent' look in your eyes. Or just sitting a lot closer together as you watch the news.
Get the idea? Sometimes words are not the best way to communicate your feelings. So try the wordless approach, and your love life will soon be sparkling again.
All the best,
Chris
