5 Ways to add romance to old relationships

1. Break the rules

Routine kills the romance because we get bored very easily. And that’s why everyone loves surprises and adventure. If your love life is in rut, try something new. Break some habits. If the rule is that your partner always takes the first move, you should break the rule. It’s important to take the initiative.
If you find resistance, that just means you haven’t found the right idea. Keep experimenting.

2. “Connect” each day

While we all like to think we can be passionate when the urge trikes, that’s hard to do when you have own life and job/studies. You have to schedule time for intimacy. And you need to first do all those things that help you connect emotionally. A good physical relationship comes out of emotional connection.
How to make this connection? Its usually the small things you do for each other.

3. Make a date

Specially for married couple out there. Take your spouce on a date, every weekend. Having a specific time to be together really improves the marriage. You will have something to look forward to on weekends – a date with your wife / husband. Even if you don’t talk about anything profound, these dates can be powerful because you know you are doing it to maintain your relationship.
During the week, both partners write down ten things ou want to do on date. And then do atleast on of them. When you find yourself in a pizza-and-movie rut, you can always refer the list and pull out an idea.

4. Express yourself

Specially girls expect the partner to read their mind. They don’t tell what they need. They expect the partner to guess. And when he doesn’t guess it right, disappointment occurs. Many partners hesitate to tell their mates what they would like romantically. If I’ve to tell, its no fun. But without communication, its often hit-or-miss fashion, trying to find out what will please the other.
Partners have to express what they want, what they feel and more important, what they think the other one wants.

5. Create a little tension

Passion is heightened by the tension created when you have to overcome impediments. It gets your energy up and helps you be creative. Be away from each other for a while or create some obstacles. Designate an “Everything-but” day.. I don’t really need to elaborate on this one. Do I..? ;)
