Over time, feelings dull, and now you are sad about the emotions that you experienced at the start of the relationship. Passion can be brought back – try these eight methods!
Arrange a date
What distinguishes a date from an ordinary meeting? In addition to interest in each other, careful preparation and even excitement, which makes emotions brighter. Someone will be in a romantic mood for a candlelit dinner, and someone, for example, a walk in the park where they met. The difference between a date after years of a relationship is only that you already know your partner well – use your knowledge for the perfect evening (or morning) together!
Try new things in sex
The same old thing gets boring — that’s human nature. And this also applies to sex. We don’t encourage you to do something that seems unnatural to you and your partner. If you’re not ready to experiment in bed, experiment with the setting: for example, you can move the act of love from the bedroom to the living room or even rent a hotel room. If there are no options for changing the setting at all, try doing it with music, at an unusual time, or blindfolded.
Plan your time away from the public
Just 10 years ago, digitalization was not yet total. Today, almost everyone has a work chat (and more than one) and other “delights” of our century on their smartphone. We advise you to find time not only for endless correspondence, but also for loved ones. Agree with your partner to regularly arrange at least an hour without access. At first, it will be difficult to be without a phone, but gradually you will appreciate all the benefits of digital detox and learn to communicate without being distracted by everything.
Kiss without formality
When was the last time you kissed for real? It’s time to replace the cool peck with a long, hot kiss. The effect won’t take long to come – appetite comes with eating. Try kissing in unusual places, like in an elevator or a car. The point is not in publicity (after all, this is an intimate process), but in making kisses stop being a meaningless habit.
Take a break from each other
An important point for those who spend all their time with their partner, without parting for a second. You are not one, and separate weekends or a new hobby will help you remember what it is like to want to be close. Find an opportunity to separate at least sometimes and for a short time. When the presence of a partner at your side becomes a given and a habit, there is simply no room for passion.
Add some extreme
The best way to combat routine is bright emotions. And in a relationship, it is important that it is also shared. There are many options: from visiting an amusement park to rafting down a mountain river. Firstly, you will definitely be on the same wavelength, secondly, shared leisure brings you closer, thirdly, in an extreme situation you will learn something new about your partner – and perhaps even fall in love again.
Update your home look
People who have lived together for a long time, as a rule, stop being shy of each other. So much so that it seems as if your partner doesn’t care what you look like. This point is not about walking around the apartment in new underwear. Just pay attention to the state of your home wardrobe. Old, worn-out things – to the trash. Try to sincerely like yourself when you are at home – then your partner will give you attention.
Praise your partner
Everything we know about ourselves, we know from others. Few people take compliments seriously, but most people are pleased to receive praise for their work, because everyone wants their work to be noticed and appreciated. Praise will not only make your life partner happy, but also notice their attractive sides, which you may not have thought about before.
