Dennis Rainey: Every married couple needs to create a safe and secure love nest in their home.

Guest: My husband and I were trying to pick out colors for our bedroom. And we had picked out originally a green color. But then we thought that a coral color might be more romantic. So we went with the coral color.[ Read Full Transcript ]



Dennis Rainey: Is your bedroom a safe place where you and your spouse can spend special times together? Men, if you want romance to blossom in your marriage, then it's important to set the right mood in your bedroom.

When it comes to physical intimacy, men tend to be excited quickly and can stay very focused. But women are much more in tune with their surroundings. They're more easily distracted by things like strange noises in the house. They need to feel secure and assured that their world is in order. That's why it's especially important for men to create a romantic environment before heading to bed.

One final thought. Why don't you consider making your bedroom a private, secure hideaway. Instead of accenting the bedroom with your golf bag and a treadmill, try scented candles, flowers in a glass vase, and a radio tuned to that soft music station. Try it tonight. You may be pleased with the results.

I'm Dennis Rainey, and that's Real, romantic FamilyLife.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but we told our 3 daughters that our bedroom is our "Naked" room. They will not go near that room for fear of being sickened! We have been married for 30 years and are wonderfully happy with our marriage and still in love with each other. One component to this successful marriage is having a refuge that is our own special place. Andriana, you need to make it plain to those kids that your bedroom is simply "Off limits"!

This sounds great, but how can you make your bedroom a private place when your children 10 and 15 yrs old like to come and do their homework, watch tv, and eat there. Please give an advise. Thank you Adriana
