When your partner comes home tired and aching from a long, hard day at work, give her a body rub to melt away her stresses and help her better enjoy the rest of the evening. Use simple, relaxing techniques to rub her entire body, then run her a bubble bath and make her favorite dinner to enjoy a night neither of you will ever forget.
