8 Ways to Spice Up Your Love Life Using Technology

Traditionally, when thinking of romance, one thinks of flowers, candlelight, natural surroundings such as beaches, moonlight and the rain. With technology throwing us into a world filled with beeps and the ability (curse) to stay constantly connected with each other, it's imperative folks find alternative routes toward romance.

What is romance? It is hardly the once a month night out to dinner, candles flickering, stilted conversation because the couple is too tired. Oh, it can be, but why not make romance a daily activity? Why not use the technological devices we are doling out serious cash for on a regular basis to aid in our quest to strengthen the relationship with our partner.

Cell Phone Texts. Cell phones travel with us everywhere (some people sleep with them beneath their pillow). A text message is like tapping someone on the shoulder and whispering into their ear. A big appeal here is connecting with your loved one in a way that, in person, might otherwise be difficult. Some people have difficulty expressing certain sides of their personality, especially the naughty or sexy side, so why not send a text that clearly conveys the message? You might find you and your partner opening up to each other in ways you never thought possible, all from simply typing a few words into your cell. You might find yourselves engaging in back and forth texts that get you hot and bothered.

Cell Phone Voice Mail Messages. A little more personable is leaving a voice mail message for your partner. Is he/she at work? No problem. Did he/she go to the store and is out of range to pick up your call? No problem. Take the opportunity to tell your partner how much you love and care for them, and they will be all that much happier to hear it.

MP3 Player Voice Recording: When your loved one is in the shower, or away, take a moment to express your love using their own MP3 player. Eventually, when they are bored and rummaging through their files, they'll find it, and it will bring an unexpected smile to their day.
