Finding time to maintain a healthy relationship with passion can be difficult. Once we grow up, and have children time isn’t always on our side. tried to reignite the passion in your marriage or relationship? Shawn and I have, and it was not that we didn’t love one another or have a healthy marriage. We didn’t stop to find the time for passion in our relationship because we were busy being responsible parents. One of us was going to work, and the other was hauling kids to practice, or school. It didn’t take too long before we realized what we were missing, and we had to focus on getting that part of our relationship back. It’s not easy to reignite the passion in a marriage, but there are things you can do to bring back the passion, because having a healthy marriage with passion makes our relationship that much stronger, and both of us happier.
15 Tips for a Healthy Relationship with Passion
Who doesn’t want a healthy relationship with passion? Here are 15 tips to help you reignite the passion in your relationship.
Say I Love You Often
I can honestly say I love you comes out of our mouth at least 10 times a day. Sure, you have to show someone you mean it, but it’s also important to hear it.
Flirt
Do you remember when you and your spouse first got together? I am going to bet there was some serious flirting going on, and it was probably fun too! That does not have to stop, and you don’t have to make time for it, just think about your spouse often. Remember something as small as a flirty text message also lets your spouse know you still think about them while you are not with them, which makes them think about you, and will only help your relationship.
Appreciate
You should appreciate your spouse every single day. Speak up, and say thank you, let them know you noticed what they did, and appreciate it. The last thing either of you want to feel is unappreciated.
Affection
Be affectionate toward your spouse. Touch, hold hands, and kiss throughout the day – it will help keep your marriage alive. You don’t have to wait until you are in the bedroom to show affection to one another. Affection is a great way to keep the passion alive all throughout the day.
Communication
Communicate openly and honestly with one another. There is nothing that will stop the passion faster than not being honest, or closing the lines of communication. When you sit down to talk, turn off all electronic devices and be sure you are 100% involved in the conversation. Being open and honest is an essential part of a healthy relationship.
Forgive
Forgiving is critical to keep your relationship healthy. If you cannot forgive your spouse for something it’s going to be difficult to get that passion back. If you have agreed to move forward, and forgive, do it!
Focus
There should be a day, each week, or every other week where you and your spouse set some time aside to focus on each other’s needs. Whether it’s a back message, talking, or sex there needs to be time set aside where just the two of you matter even if it’s only for a few minutes.
Surprises
Every now and again do something to surprise your spouse. You can leave your spouse a love note, write something sweet in the shower using your red lipstick, make a map that will lead your spouse to the hidden treasure, serve breakfast in bed, sexy voice mail, outfit, or whatever else you can come up with.
Bedroom Vacation
If you have children a romantic getaway filled with tons of passion might not be something you get to do very often, so get creative. Why not create an amazing vacation in your bedroom. Put the kids to bed, and head to your getaway filled with chocolate dipped strawberries, a movie, and focus on reigniting the passion.
Go To Bed Together
It is easy to get on different schedules, especially with kids. If you are not going to bed together, do it. This isn’t about sex, this is about spending quality time together every single night. Even if it is only 30 minutes before you fall asleep, it’s time you spent doing something together focusing on each other. However, there is nothing wrong with sex, it truly helps keep the flame going, and keeps your marriage alive. So don’t say no to sex with your husband!
Tell Your Spouse They Are Sexy
Tell your spouse they are beautiful, hot, or sexy. It feels good to know your spouse still finds you sexy.
Don’t Be Scared
Don’t stick to a routine. I don’t mean cook dinner at a different time each night, I mean do something different, fun, and don’t be scared to try new things. It keeps things fun, interesting, and will certainly help keep that passion alive. I love the above quote, because it’s true! Sometimes we do or say things that make us fall in love all over again, and it’s the most magical feeling.
Romantic
You don’t have to have sex to be romantic, but it could lead to sex later. Romance is important to keep a marriage alive and healthy; do something special for your spouse, just to let them know you are thinking about them. Both of you should do romantic things for each other now and then, because it feels good to know your spouse still thinks about you enough to do something romantic.
Sex
I think it’s important for me to keep your husband satisfied emotionally and sexually and he should want to do the same in return. Sex shouldn’t fall back on one of you, it takes two and both of you deserve to know your spouse is attracted to you. Both of you should be willing to step outside of your comfort zone and enjoy quality time with one another. Ladies, don’t use the excuse you have a headache to get out of having sex with your man. Low sex drive in women can be overcome, when I thought I was dealing with low sex drive once I addressed it I realized it was because I wasn’t happy in my relationship.
You can even get a little crazy like they did on SexTape. Of course without uploading your nude video to the cloud so all your friends and family can watch.
Watch a movie together
Watch a movie you will both enjoy. Choose something you can both relate to, something funny, maybe even a little romantic. It all depends on the two of you and what you want to spend your time with one another watching.
I hope you find a few of y tips useful, but we are all different and expect different things from our spouse and we can all learn so much from one another. Leave me a comment and let me know what your thoughts are about a healthy relationship with passion. Is there anything you or your spouse do that help keep the passion alive and your relationship healthy?
