The honeymoon is over. Maybe you’ve been together a few months,
a few years, or even a lot of years. At some point, though, the
early flames of passion will fade and you’ll start looking for
ways to reignite them.
You’re in luck, then, because that’s exactly what this
article is about!
1. Have Fun Together
Remember
the fun times you had when you first started dating? You
laughed, you played, and you spent time enjoying each other’s
company. There’s no reason for the fun to stop just because
you’ve been together for a while. Think about some of these
options:
- Collect cartoons or jokes that your spouse
will enjoy
- Play a game together, like checkers or
backgammon
- Do something unexpected to surprise your spouse
- Do a puzzle together
- Make popcorn and watch a favorite
movie
2. Be Romantic
What did you used to do when
the two of you were romancing each other? Jump start the romance
by going back to some of those previous activities that
generated warm feelings. Maybe you used to:
- Eat dinner
by candlelight
- Hide a love note in your spouse’s lunch
-
Build a fire and relax in front of it
- Take walk in the
moonlight
3. Go Back To Dating
One way to jump
start your relationship is to “date” each other again. Add to
the fun by calling to ask each other out, and the one doing the
asking then plans the date. To make it more challenging, set a
budget limit for the date. You’d be amazed at how much fun it is
to be creative and plan a date for $30 or less.
Once
you’re on the date, treat each other as you did when you were
first getting acquainted. Men, open the car door for your lady.
Women, put on a special dress and flirt with your gentleman.
4. Do The Little Things
The day to day grind of life can
really wear you down, and at those times paying attention to the
little things gets harder. It’s more important then ever,
though, that you make the extra effort to do the little things
that your spouse will really appreciate. You could:
-
Make a point to give your spouse a hug and a kiss each morning
before you leave and each evening when you get home
-
Remember to say please and thank you
- Pick the chore your
spouse dislikes the most, and do it for him or her without being
asked
- Say “I love you” often, not just when you think it’s
expected
5. Be Physical
We’re not just talking about sex. Being
physical means touching her arm, holding his hand, offering a
gentle caress or neck rub after a tough day. And when the two of
you do move towards having sex, don’t just turn out the lights
and get on with it every time. Seduce each other a bit, light
some candles and take a bubble bath together. As pleasurable as
sex is, doing the same thing the same way every time gets boring
so spice things up a bit and you’ll be amazed at what will
happen.
