Life events, routine, a growing family, career pressures, and time can often cause us to lose the spark we have with our partners. It’s not uncommon, and it’s not a cause for alarm either.
Relationships and love ebb and flow and are filled with highs and lows that are completely normal. Of course, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work on it.
If you feel like things have gotten stagnant and you’re struggling with finding that old spark, here are some tips to help you:
Get nostalgic together and recall the good times
It helps to remember why you fell in love with them in the first place, and nothing does that quite like nostalgia. It’s an incredible feeling to look back at your memories, the life you’ve built, and the milestones in your relationship, and truly appreciate them.
Do things that made you happy and excited you before
Act on those feelings and emotions too. Do more of what made you two happy before. This could be driving through the city together, eating at your favorite spot, doing a shared activity, or just having a good old-fashioned date night. This is very important for building that bond once more.
Learn to let go of the little things and resentments
It’s tough but so necessary to let go of resentments and grudges. You can’t hold everything against your partner forever, or those negative feelings will take over your heart. Let go of things, communicate with them, let them know how you feel, and learn to identify emotions instead of repressing them unnecessarily.
Work on being more intimate and sexually charged
Lastly, work on your physical intimacy. Not all intimacy needs to be sexual, but a balance of both can be incredibly beneficial for your relationship. Work on expressing pleasure and joy and letting your partner know what you like instead of settling. Express affection more openly, and don’t be afraid to get close. It may feel awkward if it’s been a while, but you’ll get back into it in no time.
