talk to her honestly and tell her how important it is to you and your children. Show her brochures and explain to her that it is an experience you have to try atleast once. Tell her that if she tries it just once, you wont ask her again if she doesnt like it. And if she really hates, it tell her you will cut the trip short for her...good luck

Guy's right , try honey or honey based meds.  Broncolin is the best. If you can't find it,  Lay her down use Vick's on her chest and throat and rub thoroughly (be civil and mindful, respect your woman of course.)  Then cover her with an extra blanket for the night.

Pack a suitcase with one outfit for tomorrow. Put it in the car. Make a reservation for a hotel room with a jacuzzi in it and send some flowers there. When she gets home blind fold her and take her to her ravishing spot. Its all you from there bud.

Maby if the weather is nice you can suprize her with a nice pinic lunch out side just the two of yous.Light some candles and make it real romantic. I know my girl friend did that once for me and I can still rember it like as if it was yeasterday. We went down to the lake. Had a radio playing soft music. It was perfect. I couldn't of asked for anything better.

No 'nice' ways anymore.  Brutal (but sensitive) honesty time.\n1.  Admit your fault in the situation.  You shouldn't have started things up if you knew you were going to get back together with your wife.\n2.  Tell her your side.  Marriage is a commitment and you aren't the kind of person who wants to get divorced and trivialize that commitment so you're doing everything you can... etc, etc.\n3.  Compliment her by reminding her she can find someone much better.\n4.  Let her say how she feels and respond without getting defensive.\n5.  Under no circumstances are you to use her as a 'in case it doesn't work out' friend.  That isn't fair and it's not right.\nGood luck.

I go tent camping every year with my wife and 2 kids every summer.  In Schuylkill county, in the foothills of the Poconos.\n\nThere are websites with use full lists.\n\nBut it depends a lot on where you going, and what kind of camping you doing.\n\nI don't take any food except things around the house that need to be eaten.  I live in Philly, and everything is much cheaper in the Poconos.  So I take a bunch of coolers that fit inside of each other to save space, and have frozen gallons of water to start.\nAnd I buy everything I need there.  \n\nI prefer old clothes.  Take cooking utensils, a tarp and rope for rain, flashlights for everyone, lantern, cards, radio, ax and good knife.  \n \nBuy a local newspaper and hit a local block party.

Take her to a secluded spot with a small area to build a fire. Lay a blanket down and have her sit on it with a picnic basket filled with wine(juice, if you're too young) cheese, crackers, oysters, whatever you both like. Start the fire and sit next to her, put your arm around her. Help her put the marshmallow on the stick and rock slowly back and forth while they roast. Feed each other the marshmallows, kiss, hug, tell her you love her. You're on your own from here ;-)

Yup, ask her to do it outside and when you are not home. Thats what my husband does (I dont like him to smoke around me either).

Camp. You can't build a campfire and roast marshmallows in your hotel room, and you sure can't hear the rustling trees or see the twinkling stars. You can't step right out your door and be on the lake shore with a hotel unless you are paying way more than I can afford. It's not much fun to bicycle and hike around a hotel, and you sure can't keep your kayak in your room. And I second the respondant who said there is no 11 a.m. checkout for a campsite.

Send her a return ticket ,like that when she comes over you can do your best to convince her and if it doesn't work she can always fly back.Its a risk but its worth it.

I don't know how or why she's being a "beach", but I can tell you that you can't MAKE anyone do anything.  The only person on this earth you can change is yourself.  So my advice to you is make sure you are being the right kind of husband, no matter what she does or says.  Don't let her provoke you into behaving badly.  I know, easier said than done, but that is about your only option, other than ending the marriage, which it doesn't sound like you want to do.  Get yourself some good books on marriage and how to be the ideal husband.  Work on yourself.  It just might do her some good!

Bryan, Don't buy her anything.  Shower her with undivided attention.  Shut off the T.V., unplug the phone, ship the kids off to the grandparents house and LISTEN to her.  Talk to her, touch her just for the sake of wanting to be close to her. Kiss her and put your hands on her every meaningful part of her body that you ignore for the rest of the year.  The back of her knee, her elbow, behind her ear, the nape of her neck.  Offer her a sex free massage and revel in the feel, smell, and sight of your wife.  Draw her a bath and scrub her from head to toe.  Paint her toenails.  Cuddle with her and tell her how much she means to you every single day.  \nA woman wants not for a gift wrapped up in pretty paper, to be torn, used, and placed aside.  Your wife is your present--are YOU her most desired gift?

Have her buy you one from a ski swap or one of the end of the season sales (should be some going on right about now).\nThat way she won't have to spend that much money. \nTell her that you will chip in a little. \nAnd just generally kiss her butt for awhile :) she'll cave
