For couples who have been together for a long period of time, a touch of complacency can sometimes kick in and the romance drifts away. Stressful working lives, busy evenings, bills to pay, chores to do and TV schedules to watch mean that sometimes, our love lives end up on the back burner.
However, although this is a common situation, it is by no means inevitable and it is perfectly possible to recapture your spark and passion, just by making a few changes. Here we take a look at some of the best ways to re-ignite your love life and make it red hot once again.
Schedule your time…with each other
If your lives are run by schedules, deadlines and calendars then continue to work with it – but make sure you schedule in time for each other. Add in date nights, meals in and even long ‘private’ nights where you have the house to yourselves as necessary! By scheduling in time for you to enjoy quality time, you get to enjoy the anticipation of that time together and have fun planning for it. This builds tension – in a good way and gives you something to look forward to.
Food and good music – the perfect evening in
Remember when you first started to date and would enjoy the best of cuisine together? The effort you’d put in to create the perfect meal and choose the right drinks to go with it? Remember how much time you spent picking music, lighting candles and generally setting the mood? Well, it’s always going to be harder to feel romantic if you are looking at piles of washing up, an untidy living room or an unmade bed! Whether you put in time together beforehand to tidy the home, or hire a cleaner to perfect your space whilst you’re out getting your hair done, invest time and energy into creating the perfect space.
Change your location with a weekend away
A weekend away, whether it’s a city break or a relaxing country retreat, can really ignite the passion back into your lives. By breaking away from the everyday routine, you can enjoy the excitement of a new environment, fresh things to see, good food and drink to enjoy… and time to simply enjoy each other’s company. Why not order in room service, treat yourselves to a bottle of champagne, a Jacuzzi and maybe a sensual couples massage with some high quality essential oils? You can buy some great massage blends online, along with couples friendly sex toys and accessories – depending on how daring you want to be! Why not really surprise your partner with some erotic literature, a film, a saucy outfit or even a vibrator. After all, if you can’t enjoy some cheeky toys whilst you’re staying in a luxurious hotel somewhere, where can you!
These are just three ways to rebuild your spark and love life. Whether you reschedule Friday night dates, start a new hobby together, indulge in French cuisine, or surprise each other with some discreet sex toy purchases, get your imagination flowing and reap the benefits with a more passionate love life!
