It is often said that falling in love is like having a new toy with lots of secret compartments to discover. Staying in love is a whole other thing.
This is where you put in all the work so as to keep the spark alive. Congratulations on finding love, now let’s get to the main issue which is to keep the spark alive.
The most important tip of all is for you to always prioritize your relationship. Invest lots of time in your relationship as you try to build it to make it better than it has ever been.
As you do all this, remember to take care of yourself as you matter the most.
1. Date nights
Probably the most timeless way to spice up your relationship. Who doesn’t love a date night anyway? The nervous and excitement that comes with going for a date night never goes away. Reintroducing date nights is the best way to rekindle the once lost romance. It gets better. While date nights are considered to be an intimate affair, this is obviously the best time to focus on strengthening communication skills between you and your partner. Date nights allow you to relax and further grow closer to each other.
2. Role play
It’s true what they say that you are never done in getting to know somebody. The same happens in long term relationships. Learn new things about each other that you have never taken the time to before and have fun with it. The most effective way of introducing new ideas to your partner is by appealing to their interests and perhaps even fetishes rather than catering for your own.
3. Therapy
Often a step taken by couples as the last resort, therapy actually helps. While many may be of a different opinion, therapy works if a couple has no other way out. By undergoing couples therapy, the two of you are able to solve issues arising between the two of you. Therapy is appropriate for any kind of relationship.
4. Take time off social media
With the onset of social media, most couples often ape what they see other couples do on the socials. To spice up your relationship further, always take time off social media and focus most of the time building and strengthening your relationship. Spending time bonding with each other increases intimacy levels and ideally reduces the chances of outside interferences.
