Is your relationship losing its spice? Yes, you love your spouse, but the butterflies just aren’t butterflying anymore (not like they were meant to be there forever).

Or are you going through that phase in life where things get busy and overwhelming, and you can barely prioritize your love life? Before overthinking creeps in, try adding some excitement into the mix and you’ll be shocked at the results.

Here are some tips to bring back the spark and keep your connection strong.

Date nights: Surprise your partner with a romantic date that will make their heart skip and revive the butterflies. It could be as simple as a picnic in the park or a spontaneous road trip, or even a spa treatment – anything that breaks the routine and adds some fun to your relationship.

Exploretogether: Discover new experiences as a couple! Whether it’s learning a new hobby or exploring the great outdoors, taking a dance class, orvisiting local restaurants. Trying new things together can create unforgettable memories and bring you closer.

Show appreciation: Don’t forget to express your love and gratitude to your partnerevery day in the simplest of ways.  You can leave sweet notes, send thoughtful texts, or simply remind them why they’re so special to you – it’s the little things that matter.

Cuddle time: Make time for intimacy and connection beyond sexual intercourse. Cuddle up and have heartfelt conversations or pamper yourselves with relaxing massages.You can lay in bed, hold hands, and savour each other’s presence. You will be surprised how this simple act does wonders.

Surprise gestures: Add some sweetness to your relationship with unexpected gestures of affection. Surprise your partner with their favourite treat, cook them a delicious meal, or buy them something they really like. If your partner’s love language is receiving gifts, bring in your A game and head to that gift shop after reading this.

Ask about their needs:Occasionally, your partner may have unexpressed needs due to your busy schedule. By gently asking them what they need from you, you create a space for trust and vulnerability.

However, only ask if you’re ready to act on their response. It’s important not to raise false hopes and then let them down.

Communicate more: One of the things that wear off romance in a relationship is lack of proper communication. This goes beyond just talking but actively listening to your partner without judgment.

Be gracious with your words and be extra patient with your partner especially during conflict. Consider exploring resources that can improve your communication skills together. Remember to cherish the life you share with each other and use every opportunity to express your love and create unforgettable memories – the little things count the most!
