30 Seconds to a Closer Marriage

Some days, you have no time for stuff that isn't at the top of your to-do list. On those days, life is so busy that there seems to be zero opportunity to do anything time-consuming, even something important like making your marriage stronger. If you have just half a minute, then I've found an entire list of ideas to help you transform 30 seconds into a loving and memorable moment with your spouse.

1. Send him a "Remember when?" email at work. ("Remember when we rented that shack with the outdoor kitchen in Jamaica for our honeymoon, and we ate dinner under the stars every night?"; "Remember our date last Friday?!")

2. At a dinner party, wink at him across the table.

3. Put on an eye mask and pretend to have fallen asleep while he's brushing his teeth. Then surprise him with a kiss.

4. When you peck him good-bye in the morning, let your lips linger and your hands travel south just a bit.

5. Rescue him (loudly) from an unwanted phone call by shouting that you need his help right away. (If he asks how he can thank you for that good deed, use your imagination.)

6. While getting dressed to go out, let him know that he looks so good you want to chase him around the bedroom. Then do it.

7. When he comes home, say that the sight of his face still sends you, just the way it did when you first got a crush on him.

8. Slip a favorite photo of you two into an unexpected place (his tennis-racket cover, his T-shirt drawer, the book he's reading).

9. Make him comfortable when he's sick by handing him a box of tissues and the TV remote control, while brushing up against him when you deliver them. (Sensual contact may help strengthen his immune system — or, at the very least, make him happy.)

10. While waiting in a movie line, whisper in his ear, "I'm having thoughts about you that aren't rated G."
