Good morning lovely readers of the Goddess Blog and welcome to another day and another post with your beloved Goddess, todayyy I will be sharing several ways that I think can be helpful for you guys if you think that the flames have been drying up in the relationship that you have with your respective partner. It happens to the best of us, really - but never fear as I do believe that with these simple ways that I will be talking about, you really can reignite the stagnant flames and turn around your relationship situation! Before we get into it, just a gentle reminder for you guys to drop in some cups of coffee for the Goddess if you enjoy the read! :))
“How do we reignite our relationship?” is one of the most popular questions around. And it makes sense since it actually concerns all couples.
Yes, you read that right: All couples struggle with a stale relationship.
There are many ways that couples can perk up their relationship. Without any further ado and in no particular order, here are the Goddess simple ways to reignite your relationship:
1. Engage In A New Activity
To reignite your relationship, you want to mimic when you first started dating. One way to do that is by engaging in a new activity or interest with your partner. Doing novel activities with your partner enables you to reexperience the original emotional state at the beginning of your relationship.
In other words, trying something new sparks excitement, producing passion. You can do anything from deep-sea fishing to salsa dancing to hiking a mountain to eating at a different restaurant.
2. Mystery
Both mystery and surprise also mimic the emotional state of a new romance. But it doesn’t mean whisking your wife away to the Mediterranean or surprising your husband with thousand-dollar tickets to the Super Bowl.
Here, little gestures also go a long way. Surprising your wife at work and whisking her away for lunch or sending a greeting card in the mail will do wonders!
3. Up The Tempo
Young relationships start out with an adrenaline rush. Your heart races, you get giddy, you’re alert, awake and excited. Studies show that the arousal that’s created through an adrenaline-producing activity can get transferred to your partner and your relationship.
Arousal-generating activities can include exercising, going on a vigorous hike or a roller-coaster ride, parachuting out of a plane and even watching a scary movie. So it’s almost like fooling your brain that the arousal produced to this scary movie or any other arousing activity is really due to your relationship, and this helps to perk up the passion.
4. Mini Vacation
Get out of the house for at least one night and two days…somewhere that interests both of you and creates new memories together. Maybe a Weekend Getaway? :)))
Somewhere you can spend unpressured time, so you can truly relax. You don’t have to go far from home or spend a lot of money.
The key is to spend quality time together away from home. Studies show that for women, in particular, getting away is important. We feel more passionate when we’re away from the pressures of our lives. At home, women have a tough time compartmentalizing things. We’re thinking about the laundry, lunch, paying the bills, cleaning the house, and checking things off our mental to-do list.
Even if you have young kids or are super-swamped with work or other responsibilities, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of investing in alone time together—away.
5. Touch Me
Touch produces arousal, comfort and support both physiologically and psychologically, and it doesn’t have to be much of a touch. Holding hands on a walk, making sure you give a hug or kiss or embrace daily reminds you that you’re physiologically bonded.
6. Play
In the midst of busy lives, financial responsibilities, kids and holding down a household, couples can easily forget to have fun. But relationships have to be about fun!
Couples can play in many ways, too. When reigniting your relationship, the key is to shake things up consistently. So the next time you plan date night, think about the elements of newness, novelty and the element of surprise. It’s as simple as trying out a different restaurant or seeing a scary movie.
That is ittt for this fine Thursday from your Goddess!
I am out for the day, cya all tomorrow with a brand new post!
