10 Ways to Recharge Your Relationship
1. Photos
Look through old photos, pictures or albums to remember your love and the fun times during your relationship. You can take a trip down memory lane. Make it interesting by doing something from one of the photos or going back to the place it was taken.
2. Cheerlead
Be their personal cheerleader. Notice, encourage, applaud and celebrate them. Share in each others goals and positive qualities. Help them achieve their goal, strive to be better, and make their dreams come true.
3. Quality Time
Time is the one thing that you cannot buy. Time is valuable and precious, and it may be what she desires most. Quality time is one of the best romantic gestures. When was the last time you spent time alone together. One of the best gifts for her is simply time alone with you. Make time to catch up, communicate and enjoy each other.
4. Take a Walk
Leave your cell phones, beepers, pagers etc. at home! Walking together gets you both away from distractions so you can focus on each other. It can be easier to open up and talk during an activity, versus staring at each other during a meal.
5. Adrenaline
Go on dates that are exciting and thrilling. Get that adrenaline running and experience it together. Adrenaline stimulates the feelings of love. Sure you may not give each other butterflies anymore, but you can get them together at a theme park, physical activity, or thrilling movie.
6. Contact
Physical touch is a vital ingredient for feeling loved. Make sure to touch each other lovingly. Hug, kiss, hold hands, give massages, snuggle, slow dance, exchange friendly pats, slaps and taps etc. Keep a light and playful atmosphere between you. Flirt, have fun and make sure to have plenty of touch.
7. Laugh
Go to a comedy club, watch one of your all time favorite comedy films, or simply laugh when the opportunity arises. Make jokes, be playful, and have fun. So often our relationships get dry and boring. Take time to laugh together. Remember why you enjoy each other’s company and how much fun you have together.
8. Affair
Have a secret affair together. Make a date night, plan an “affair weekend”, or even a vacation. Try to see your significant other with new eyes. Remember the things you loved and admired about each other in the beginning. Pursue each other, be naive and flirtatious. Go heavy on compliments, admiration and speak of nothing of your mundane life for the duration of the “affair event”. This sort of event triggers the release of dopamine and testosterone. Keep it fresh and fun!
9. Little Things
Do small romantic things. Make love notes or coupons. Get flowers “just because”. Send an email, text or leave a special message. Express appreciation for doing laundry, paying bills, yard work, cooking a meal, etc. These small things will fuel the fire of love and leave your significant other feeling significant, needed, and loved.
10. Surprise!
Surprise them (in a good way). Plan a special party, getaway, or event. Celebrate an accomplishment, special day, or just because. A surprise will make them feel valued and special. It will also add some excitement to the rut your relationship has gotten into. You’ll have a fun secret while you plan, and they are sure to enjoy your thought and the special treatment.
