When you do not have enough time and fun with your partner for a long time, it may be quite possible that the spark and passion between you would be gone or your interest and attraction to your partner is dwindling.
Regardless of your financial status or schedule, you can still make out many ways to spice up your relationship by bringing back the fun and more time in it.
Spend More Time Together
Having lived together for a long time, you might often spend your nights doing things of your own seperately, without talking with each other. For example, you might be viewing the web for a long time while your spartner is watching TV or reading or sleeping on their own. It is quite necessary that you spend some quality time together instead of doing things of your own seperately. It’s far more enough by thinking that you two are still together in the same room. You can choose to cuddle up together on a coach or bed by sharing an interesting TV series you are both interested in.You can talk about what happened and make a prediction of what is going to happen next. Not only will it have you spending time together and bonding, but it can also open a door to get you communicating more than if you were on the computer and they were watching television alone.
If finding quality time together before bed doesn’t work for you, there are other times of the day where you can spend time together. There are a whole variety of things that you could do together. You could play video games, maybe shooting at each other in an alternate reality could get some of your frustrations out while having fun at the same time. There are also a variety of games out there that require you to be actively involved and could have both of you up and moving. If virtual reality isn't your thing, there are board games and hundreds of games that can be earned out with a simple pack of playing cards.
You can bond by playing other games too. How about games that get you outside or away from home altogether? Play a game of one-on-one basketball together or Frisbee in your backyard. If you are up for an adventure that could be incorporated into a date night, bowling and billiards can be an inexpensive way to have fun. Plus, some healthy competition can ignite a spark between you and your partner. Being playful has its benefits.
Sometimes it's better to bond in different ways. Go for a walk around your neighborhood and talk about your day. Make time to sit on your porch or deck and talk about something fun you'd like to do sometime in the future. Run out and get a coffee and just sit in your car and talk. There are infinite possibilities for you and your partner to spend time together that don’t cost a lot and don’t take away from the other responsibilities you may already have. When you make the time to be together; you will rediscover all the wonderful qualities your partner or spouse has and you will want to spend even more time with them.
Make it a date!
One of the ways to reawaken the spark and passion in your relationship is to schedule a date night every week. Every week, leave the kids with the babysitter or a family member and go out to some fancy restaurant or watch a movie together. You could also watch a sporting event, go to a concert, or watch a play. Part of the fun could be in taking turns picking a new place for your date night each week. Make sure to put in extra effort to look good for your partner. Wear something you don't wear every day and try to make this night of the week a special occasion. Act like the relationship is still new. You could try to remember and revisit all of the places you and your significant other would go when you were first dating, or you could pretend that you are brand new to the scene and find new places to call your favorites. During your date nights, try your best to just have fun, talk about your interests, your hobbies and dreams rather than abotu the kids, money or problems in your relationship. It’s a great time to learn more about each other without any interruptions or distractions such as phone calls or other things.
Check In
If love is already fading away, it is most likely that you and your partner have been taking each other for granted. Even though you know that they will be there when you get home, it's still important to touch base with them. Take time to ask your partner how his/her day was. Take time to ask if he/she has already eaten lunch, just like you did when the relationship was still new. It could be as simple as Letting your partner know that you love them and that you are thinking of them. Also, let your partner know what you have been up to. They are probably just as curious to know how your day is going as you are with theirs. Don’t worry if what you have to say seems trivial. Your partner or spouse will be happy to hear from you, and if you are happy and excited about what’s going on in your life, they will be too. Anything you have to say is helpful to keeping your relationship strong and your significant other will appreciate that you include them. When you are travelling alone somewhere, send a text message to your partner; letting him/her know that your plane has already landed or you have already checked into a hotel. Not only will this let them know that you are safe this will let your partner know that he/she is an important part of your life. Your partner will feel loved and remember all of the good reasons as to why your relationship has made it this far. They will also be more inclined to check in with you, whether they are responding to a message that you sent them or sharing their own news throughout the day. Communication is powerful, and any communication between the two of you will keep your relationship open and stronger than ever before.
Life gets in the way of our relationships. Now that you are committed to one another, and the newness of the relationship might have worn off. However, If you try your best to spend more time together and endeavor to make each together time as date, and check in with your partner whereever and anytime you would like to be connected with them even they are not with you for a short time, your relationship will certaily regain spark!
