Let's face it, romance is nice, but what really makes a relationship great is how much fun you have together. If you aren't having fun, it's hard to be romantic. Halloween is a great holiday for couples because it's all about fun.

So what can you do to make this Halloween special? Instead of the typical Romeo and Juliet, , how about thinking up something silly to dress up as a couple? How about being a sandwich? You can be the stuff inside and he can be the bread. Use cardboard, foam rubber, or stuffed fabric, depending on your budget, your level of artistic talent, and your time available. Here are some other ideas:

1. Go as hot chocolate and marshmallows.

2. Or go as smors.

3. Maybe you can be the front and the back of whatever character, sharing one costume sewn together.

4. What about one of you being a cat and the other a play toy?

5. Go as a hula girl and a beach bum in a Hawaiian shirt, but switch the parts so he's doing the hula in a grass skirt.

6. Go as Snow White and have him wear stuffed dolls representing the 7 Dwarfs.

If you aren't going to a party, go tricker treating with all the neighborhood kids. Or go around to the homes of your family and friends. What I'm suggesting is that you think outside of the box and let your creativity go wild. And have fun.
