A gaming marathon can be a great way to spend a romantic weekend at home. You can begin with some popular board games like Scrabble and Monopoly and then maybe go on to more active ones like dumb charades or Twister. Then again if you both prefer, video and computer games can also be the perfect way to rediscover those childhood thrills. Card games are usually more fun with friends and double dates but if you know your partner quite well, you can have a naughty time with a game of strip poker. No matter what kind you prefer, games are usually great fun if you and your partner don’t mind some friendly competition. Don’t forget to arrange for some drinks and crispies so that you both can snack on while pondering on the next move.
 

Relationship experts point out that shared hobbies are one of the best ways to ensure that your romance survives in the long run. So for an interesting weekend at home, why not plan to do something you both enjoy together. If you and your partner are fond of the written word, have each other read out passages from your favorite books or recite for each other lines from timeless love poems. Then again for classical music lovers, a session of Bach or Beethoven on the CD player while you both share nuggets of information on the great composers can provide for an amazing bonding between you both. If it is fast music you enjoy, put on some peppy dance numbers and get jiving with your partner. Not only will theses be intensely romantic experiences in themselves, you will be glad to have done something you both thoroughly enjoy.
 

You need not travel away from your home in order to get a feel of the romantic outdoors. If you have a garden, a patch of lawn or even a backyard, you and your partner can have a romantic night in the open, gazing at the stars or roasting marshmallows on a small bonfire. And should you happen to live in an apartment, make the most of your balcony or terrace. Put up a small tent there and switch off all your the lights. And then settle down with a glass of wine and gaze down at thousands of lights twinkling in the city below.
 

For couples who like a bit more action in their lives, home improvement projects can make for a great weekend idea too. Have a list of projects ready that you both can work on at your home, like for instance putting a new coat of paint in the study or making a set of new cabinets for the kitchen. Don’t include ideas that require a great deal of physical strength or might get too messy like plumbing jobs. Keep them for the professionals or when you can do them later since such jobs might prove to be more of hard work than fun. The great thing about home improvement projects as a romantic idea is that the very notion of building something together can be hugely inspiring. Besides it is especially good for homebodies who like to potter about at home even when the weather is nice outside.
 

Food – both preparing and eating - can be the source of an intense sensual experience. So the next time you are stuck for romantic weekend idea at home, invite your beloved over for dinner at your place. While the menu and cooking may require some advance preparation, don’t go overboard by making a five course meal which will leave you too tired and stressed out to enjoy. Instead you can make the main course the highlight of the menu and then pair it up with a great-looking salad and some fresh bread. Alternatively you and your partner can experiment with new easy-to-make recipes which are not practical through the week or with kids around. Finally don’t forget to choose some nice wine and make sure that you round off a meal with your partner’s favorite dessert.
 

If you and your partner are both movie buffs, what better way to spend a romantic weekend at home than by watching your favorite movies back to back? You can make the movie marathon even more interesting by setting a theme, like the worst comedies of all time or the scariest horror movies and allow each other to pick out a DVD according to the theme. Finally snuggle up before the screen and if you find yourselves having a great time, you may even prolong the date to another movie or follow it up with some romantic action of your own.
 

A weekend at home is the perfect opportunity to indulge your senses - It could be a warm exotic massage or a naughty bubble bath. Light a few perfumed candles and have some soft music playing in the background to take the sensuality a notch higher. You are not only sure to have fun splashing around with each other but can also wrap up the weekend with an intimate night together.
