A bath soak gives you an easy way to spend time with your partner. Run hot water into the tub and add a few bubbles. Both of you get in and sit down. The heat helps your body relax while you talk about your day or your plans. You can stay in for twenty or thirty minutes. Keep extra hot water ready to top it up. These eight ideas add small details to make the time better. They work in a normal bathroom and cost almost nothing.
Action
Close the bathroom door to keep the heat inside. Turn on the hot water and let the tub fill halfway. Add bubble solution and watch it foam. Test the temperature with your hand. Place two towels on the side for when you finish.
Pro-Tip
Start the water five minutes early so you are not waiting around once you decide to begin the soak.
Spicy Twist
Take off each others clothes slowly before stepping into the water.
Action
Choose safe spots on the counter and tub edge. Put candles there and light them with a match. Turn off the overhead light. The soft glow fills the room and lets you see without glare.
Pro-Tip
Keep a cup of water close to put out the candles quickly if needed.
Spicy Twist
Look at how the light moves across your partners skin.
After dark
Action
Step in carefully so water does not splash out. Decide who sits where to fit best. One leans back against the tub and the other leans on them. Let your legs touch under the surface.

Spicy Twist
Stay close and feel each others breathing.
