Flirting shouldn't just be a dating game. The best monogamous relationships are filled with flirtation — and I don't mean with the checkout boy or the gardener. I'm talking about flirting with your partner, well after you've taken yourself off the market.

The key to great flirting is to offer a temptation without the certainty that anything will come of it. It's not impossible! Flirting is an art that will keep your sex life sizzling — and what monogamous couple couldn't use a little more of that?

It all begins with eye contact. You can send a thousand passionate kisses with your eyes. Gaze longingly and directly at the object of your affection and then look away. Avoid his gaze when you know he's looking at you. You can brush up against him casually, keeping things playful and sexy. The point is to make him feel as if you're still trying to attract him to you. Talk to him like you're meeting each other all over again. If you're feeling particularly coquettish, you can pretend as if you don't know him at all and are trying to seduce him! Your advances are sure to get his attention — and might just lead to more!

Or you can just tell him that he is the smartest, most handsome, hardest working man you have ever known and that you are so proud to be his wife and the mother of his children that you almost bust your buttons every time you think of him.
