Because November includes the beginning of the hectic holiday season for us, we make certain that we have a fabulous night out on the town early in the month before the rush begins. We go to a romantic Seattle restaurant and then walk the art galleries, or take in a play. I love the four seasons and walking in the rain with my husband. We enjoy ducking into a warm cozy cocktail lounge for drinks in front of a fire. Make certain to take time with each other before the season gets in full swing.

Take a class together: stained glass, foreign language, Tai Chi, yoga, oil painting, or Salsa dancing. Be creative and learn something new. The bonding experience keeps the friendship alive and fuels the romance.
