There’s plenty you can do to reignite passions and keep things fresh.
1. Switch up traditional roles
If you’re feeling stuck in a relationship rut, think about switching out roles and responsibilities in your household. Even if you share chores pretty evenly down the middle, mixing things up can help a relationship feel fairer. If you’re constantly chained to the stove on cooking duty, let your partner take over menu prep for at least half of the week. Eager to ditch the dishes? Let your other half take over the clean-up while you take over one of their go-to chores.
2. Reignite passions in the bedroom
A lacklustre sex life can spell doom for any relationship. Fortunately, it’s easy to enhance your sexual experience with relatively little fuss. Whether it’s adding a few new positions to your repertoire or getting experimental with sex toys, reigniting passions isn’t as difficult as you might think. To started, why not pick up a few new toys and sex-enhancing gizmos from an online store like LOVENSE?
3. Make your next conversation a meaningful one
According to some studies, as many as 20% of couples speak for less than half an hour a day. If conversation is falling flat in your relationship, make a concerted effort to make more time for talk. Whether it’s a simple debrief about how your day went or something more involved about your plans for the future, conversation can bring you closer together and help put you on the same page.
4. Gift-giving always goes down well
Gifts don’t have to be reserved for birthdays and special occasions. Singling out a special something for your loved one can reprioritize relationships and show that you care. The good news is you don’t have to spend a small fortune on letting someone know you care. Even an inexpensive gift or simple keepsake can do the trick, providing it’s a thoughtful purchase. If you’re on the receiving end, remember to express gratitude and pay it forward.
5. Build quality time into your day
Conversation is just one element of quality time, and you’ll need to factor in plenty of time into your schedule as a couple if you want your relationship to work. Allowing for plenty of one-on-one time is crucial if you want a relationship to succeed, even if the words aren’t exactly forthcoming. Silent time together can be just as renewing for a relationship as conversation, so think about penciling in some time to read together. Need to break out of the confines of your home? A quiet walk together can work wonders, while a weekend getaway or city break can be a great excuse to celebrate a special occasion or milestone.
