Tips on how to renew your relationship.
One of the first things to go in long term relationships is the element of surprise. You get into a routine and you no longer arbitrarily decide to take her away for a weekend, or buy him a gift just because you felt like it.
Perhaps you do still buy ‘gifts’ but it’s an extra pair of socks when you were at the supermarket because you noticed all his socks have holes, rather than the cute or hilarious trinkets you used to buy at the start of your relationship.
The bouquets of flowers and turning up at lunch breaks with a picnic basket are gone, and you are less willing to make a fool of yourself to make the other person laugh or smile.
Put yourself in your partner’s shoes for a few minutes once a month and ask yourself what would be a lovely surprise for them. It doesn’t have to be anything huge—just something considerate that would be appreciated.
Although it sounds like an oxymoron, planning more surprises can initiate those weak-at-the-knees passionate feelings that you felt in the earlier stage of your relationship.
Plan the surprises that were more spontaneous before and you may re-experience that love rush. You might even develop your ability to be spontaneously romantic again.
2)Turn unlikely moments into shared history
3)Take time to appreciate the good things.
4)Spend quality time together.:Spending time together is the best way to draw closer to one another. Use the time you spend together to connect with each other. This is not the time to talk about the children, work or bills. During the time you spend together, don't use it all on talking.
5)Take a trip down memory lane
Reminiscing about the good old days tend to bring back those loving feelings. Looking back reminds you of the things that brought you together in the first place; the love you shared that you were sure would last until the end of time. Dust off those old photo albums and home movies. Create a couples' scrapbook together. Take some time to reflect on where you started from and how you can build on that original foundation.
6) Look your partner in the eye and tell them three things that you love about them. They can be big ticket items, like the way you feel together when you are making love. They can be smaller fare, like the way you love it when they wrinkle their nose and close their eyes when they are hysterical with laughter
