WAYS TO REKINDLE LOVE IN YOUR MARRIAGE

Have you observed that romance seems to fade away at some point in most marriages?
Ever thought of how to rekindle love in marriage that was there once upon a time?
Since love is the bonding element and an essential aspect of a working marriage, you need to find ways to arouse the love again in your marriage.
You need to start romancing again like the old days to revive the love and passion, and to repair and strengthen your bond of marriage.
Although there are many ways of rekindling love in a marriage, but I’m sharing just a few of them.
- Be attractive
You did get into a relationship because you both felt physically attracted towards each other.
So, it’s important to keep looking good for each other even after you are married – for years to come.
In most cases infidelity takes place when one of the spouse stops taking care of themselves, and
either becomes obese, and unattractive.
This makes the partner compare his or her spouse to another, outside their marriage.
Temptation works! So, it’s important that both the husband and wife should continue to look good for each other to rekindle love in marriage.
Always express your love to your spouse
I’m sure most of you are guilty of this one!
How many times do you express your love to your spouse? How many times do you really say those 3 magical words – I love you? Be honest! Most couples  feel that once they are married that there is no need for that after all their spouse should know that they love them
When you first dated, You worked on your relationship – didn’t you?
This attention made your spouse feel loved and special.
You need to express your love more often to your spouse after marriage by telling them how much you love them. How can you do that? Here are a few simple ways –
  • Send them emails, or cards without any occasion – just to make them feel special.
  • Talk to them as often as you can, tell them you miss them and want to be with them.
  • Try messaging that, “I can’t wait to get home and be with you,” or “I’m thinking about you,” to your spouse during the day.
  • Or write love notes around the house that your spouse can find around the house like a romantic treasure hunt!
  • Discuss about your day, and ask about how their day was 
It becomes all the more necessary to let your partner know you love them, every single day so that they feel assured, and it does feel good to hear these words too – doesn’t it?
Rekindle the love in your marriage by saying these magical words and watch the difference.
- Don’t be sharply critical.
If you’ve been criticizing or abusing each other in your relationship, then it’s likely to suffer and might even lead to a breakup.  Agreed everyone makes mistakes, but that doesn’t mean you behave the way you do!
That will only push your spouse further away from you, which makes it harder to feel close – leave alone get intimate or make love to each other.
Instead, do things that please your partner. Try to become best friends with your spouse.
Say words that make your spouse feel good, like – “You’re looking beautiful tonight” or show your gratitude by saying, “It’s so nice of you to have brought me this gift – I love it.” (even if you feel differently!)
According to research, happy couples make five times more positive than negative statements about each other – no wonder they have better sex too. I hope you appreciate and compliment your partners!
- Touch more often
You won’t believe it, but a simple touch has great powers. So, touch often, and you can do that by simple things like holding hands when you walk or sit.
Simply take turns and hug each other, put your arms around each other, or wrap around each other when in bed at night. You can instantly feel the love and warmth with the touch.

- Rediscover sexual pleasures
The Internet is full of great ideas if you’ve run out of them. It doesn’t have to be just about sex, even kissing and fondling do wonders.
Fantasy sex is one aspect that can rekindle love in marriage and help the person deal with any unfulfilled sexual desires.
Such desires could tempt you or your spouse to seek resources outside the marriage if they are not attended to or resolved within your marriage and with your partner.
So, be the secret passionate lover that resides in your spouse’s heart and mind.
Try being more sensuous, sexy, and romantic with each other, and bring back the passions of fire that were there initially.


- Always keep your channels of communication open
This is very important. Being couples, you need to keep talking and discussing things with each other. I see many couples stop doing this because they get so busy in their daily chores and work. What happens then?
The connectivity that once was, seems to disappear.

Don’t forget to tell your spouse what you like or don’t like romantically. Couples should express what they like, how they feel, and what they think their partner wants.

- Do something unexpected or out of the ordinary
Most couples tend to lead a boring life or do things that are predictable.
Try doing something unexpected, and unpredictable. Surprise your spouse by dressing differently, having something unexpected laid out when he or she returns from work – that it wows him or her.
Anything works as long as it rekindles the love in your marriage.

In conclusion, If you know things aren’t going right in your marriage, or you feel unhappy in your marriage – do something about it. Remember, marriage is like fire, if you don’t stoke the fire, it will go out.
You need to keep the fire and passion in your marriage alive by talking and being with each other, making time for romance, without any ifs and buts.

If there are problems in your marriage, talk them out and commit to change what’s in your hands. Focus on the positive goals and limit the complaints.
I strongly feel that the love between married couples rarely disappears. Instead, the feeling of love just hides behind the feelings of anger, abandonment, neglect, resentment, and loneliness.
