Honeymoon Feng Shui

Ideas to spice up your honeymoon

by Stephanie Dempsey

The vows have been said and the reception's over. All that remains is for you and your spouse to have a wonderful honeymoon! If you want to get your marriage off to the right start, try these Feng Shui cures for your honeymoon suite. Just a few simple adjustments are all that's necessary to make this the first in a long series of wonderful journeys together.

Underwear That's Fun to Wear
The color of your lingerie sets a certain tone for your lovemaking. Colors that evoke the passionate fire element will result in a memorable evening. Choose red, hot pink or vermillion to keep your honeymoon hot and spicy. If you prefer slow, sensual lovemaking, wear tones that evoke the earth element. Cream, dusty rose and cocoa are all good colors to wear if you want to enjoy a long, languorous session that will last all night. The metal energy contained by the color white promotes intimacy, but you may want to wear white as an accent color, as too much metal energy makes people critical.

Flower Power
Keeping a vase of fresh flowers in your honeymoon suite will remind you and your spouse to stay in the moment. An even number of flowers will cultivate harmony and stability. Choose red flowers for passion, pink for gentle nurturing or white for intimacy. Place the flowers in the far right corner of the room, which governs love and romance.

Sweets for the Sweet
A decorative bowl filled with candy is an ideal addition to any honeymoon suite. Mix your favorite bonbons with those of your spouse in a big bowl, and then put the bowl in the center portion of the right side of your room. The center right portion of a space rules joy -- keeping sweets will help you laugh and savor life.

Establish Your Roles
A tip for honeymooners: whoever chooses the position in the bed closest to the entrance will assume the role of protector in the relationship. Stake your claim early, as it will set the tone for your marital life. If you are unhappy with your current position, ask to your partner to switch. Use a backrub as bait.
