Turn Up Your Relationship Temperature
Two people meet. The passion soars. They fall in love. They get married. The romance continues happily ever after … or does it?
I've seen it time and time again among friends, family members and acquaintances. Heck, I've even had it happen in a long-term relationship before. Two people who have been together a long time dig themselves into romantically devoid holes. They can get in so deep, getting out it nearly impossible. They still love each other, but "connecting" like they used to just doesn't seem to happen.
Complacency happens in the best of relationships. There's no doubt about that. It's how a couple handles it and fights back that matters. It is possible, especially for loving married couples, to turn up the heat and enjoy the romantic side of their relationship once more. Even when kids and hectic work schedules get in the way, passion should still be a priority. Here's how to make it happen:
- Don't take each other for granted. It's so easy to do this, but avoid it at all costs! Even if you're 100-percent certain your spouse would never leave, cheat, run away or what have you, love each day like it's your last. We all love to know we're needed, desired and important. Saying it is fine, but feeling it is much more fun.
- Show your love the romantic way. Take the time to show each other how much you care. Leave your ladylove a rose on the pillow when you go off to work. Greet your husband at the door with two glasses of champagne and little else.
- Get a little crazy. Just because you've been married "forever" doesn't mean you can't enjoy a little wild time together. Play romantic games, dress up as legendary lovers, practice a strip tease or a belly dance … just do something out of the ordinary to let your spouse know she (or he) is still sexy, desirable and wonderful in your eyes. I had one girlfriend who dressed up like Salome with seven veils to rekindle our romance. I still sweat every time I think about it!
- Never forget he or she is your lover. As time passes and life gets in the way, it can be so easy to just assume that your spouse will love you no matter what. While this is very likely true, never forget your spouse is not just your love, but also your lover. Don't neglect the little things that really get his or her engines revving. Think perfume or cologne, special touches and gentle caresses, stolen kisses when the kids aren't looking and so on. Be creative and have fun!
Getting married shouldn't signal the end of romance. In fact, it should be just the beginning of a long, passionate tale! Try something new, different and exciting to really turn the heat back up in your relationship.
