Halloween is no longer just a kids’ holiday where its all about candy and scary movies. Halloween has evolved into one of the biggest holidays for couples. Halloween gives couples a chance to role play and let go of their usual inhibitions. We love dressing up for Halloween and you should too!
This year, per the National Retail Federation, Halloween will be celebrated in record numbers with more than two-thirds of Americans buying Halloween costumes this year. So that means more and more couples will enjoy a great night together and spice up their marriage and sex life! Yep, you know if you and your spouse go out and have a great time the fun doesn’t stop there!!!!
We are not into the ghost and goblins that main stream media tries to push for Halloween and we are super excited that costume designers are making sexier grown up costumes for couples. In years past, my husband has been a doctor, a football player and even a pimp. I’ve been a sexy nurse, a Sexy Gangsta and even a school teacher (and not the good teacher LOL). “Dressing up is a wonderful way to help you lose your inhibitions,” says Andrea Miller, relationship expert and CEO of YourTango. “This is especially true for women. Halloween costumes encourage us to let go of our mom and wife personas and tap into our inner vixens.”
Dressing up for us, gives us the opportunity to escape everyday life. We are not the truck driver and SAHW when we dress up for the annual adult Halloween party. We are whomever and whatever we dress up as. And trust me we take on the full persona and really have a great time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with dressing up in a costume and having fun. Actually,it just may help breakdown some barriers or tension that may be present in your marriage.
This year, couples should embrace the idea of dressing up and having fun. Per Miller, she suggests the following costumes for costumes to wear this year:
- Guardians of the Galaxy: This hit movie is sure to make for plenty of creative costumes this Halloween season. “She can dress up as a sexy Gamora, and he can be Peter Quill,” says Miller.
- Game of Thrones: “This sexy show makes for great costumes, and best of all, men love the characters too!” says Miller, “She can go as sexy Khaleesi in an ice blonde wig and her partner can go as her handsome husband Drogo.”
- Anastasia and Christian Grey: Of course, 50 Shades of Grey costumes are all the rage this Halloween season, and these erotic costumes are certainly true to the book! Miler suggests, “Buy one of the packaged costumes or make your own (Women can wear a slinky maroon dress to mimic Ana’s style, and of course men can opt for a gray suit and tie). Handcuffs optional!”
- Go classic: Bring your favorite classic television show or movie to life, such as by going as Top Gun characters or dressing up as Married with Children’s Al and Peg Bundy.
Your only limit to a fun and sexy costume is your imagination. We don’t go all out with decorations but we definitely love to dress up. This year we are going as: Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.
We found our costumes at BuyCostumes.com. They have a great selection of adult costumes. Actually, we got our costume from BuyCostumes.com last year and was pleasantly pleased. The husband asks me to pull out Gangsta girl outfit quite often! *wink wink* If you haven’t thought about your costumes, start thinking! Plan a get together and have a costume party for the couples in your circle. Have fun! Let your hair down! If dating your spouse is not the norm, dress up as a couple that is going out on a date & go on a date! What costume are you and your spouse wearing this year? Leave your comments below….
