How
to keep the passion aflame

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.
