Call in sick to work to spend romantic time with your sweetheart

So, when’s the last time you played hooky to spend some much-needed romantic time with your special someone?

Before you laugh, I’m not advocating that you skip work whenever you feel like snuggling with your sweetheart; part of being a good lover and a responsible partner is living up to your responsibilities and taking care of your own career. But occasionally, we all need to forget about the rest of the world for a while and concentrate on romantic ideas that improve the things that mean the most to us . . . like our marriage or relationship!

It’s the truth: millions of people skip work for an endless number of reasons every day, including plain old laziness. But if you’re a hard worker and deserve a little time off, taking some much-deserved time off to spend time with your sweetie is a perfect way to recharge your batteries and add some good old-fashioned romance to your relationship.

If your career and other obligations make you spend more time away from your husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend than you like, then calling in sick to spend a few needed hours together will show how much they mean to you and make them feel super special. Of course, if your sweetheart has a busy schedule of their own, it may take a little juggling to make sure you both get some time off at the same time. But believe me, it will be more than worth it!

What you do with that time off together is strictly up to you! You could spend it snuggling in bed together, take a relaxing day trip together for a nice mini-vacation, or lounge around the house and watch a romantic movie together. The possibilities are endless, and those extra eight hours together away from the rest of the world will make you both feel refreshed and rejuvenated. And if you have kids, a school day is the perfect time to catch up on your alone time!

So what are you waiting for? If you’re living up to your obligations at work and doing a good job, you shouldn’t feel any guilt for taking some well-deserved time off to spend with your sweetheart. Start practicing that fake cough and add a little romance to your relationship!
