You won't have the hot passionate love that you had before, but you can have a better love. It's calmer-deeper-more about caring for each other. You have more time and more privacy than you had when the kids were home. How? Don't expect fireworks. Just expect the warm, cozy fire type of love. Enjoy the time you spend together. Do things together-go for a drive in the country-go for a walk-just do something-just the two of you. It will come back to you.

Start doing things differently to let him know that the two of you have moved to a new chapter in your lives. Move to a smaller home or remodel your home to better fit your style. Now that your babies are gone you need a new baby like a garden or pet or car or whatever you're into. Start fresh. Take up cycling or tennis and throw yourself into it passionatly. Other than that just relax and enjoy each other. I bet there are alot less fights now that the kids are gone so enjoy it.

Commit to doing something together on a regular basis. Join a health club...take a community education class...learn to play an instrument together...go to church. Having shared experiences will deepen your relationship and help you regain the kind of emotional and physical intimacy you are searching for.
