7 Ways to Spice Up a Long Relationship

Long relationships can be a challenge for both parties and maintaining them will usually take some creativity and a lot of effort. However, relationships also vary from couple to couple and to know what needs to be done you usually have to analyze your relationship first. It’s important that both you and your partner are aware of the situation that you’re in and that something needs to be done to keep things going. So without further ado, here are some of the best ways to spice up your relationship and get it close to what it was when you first started dating.

Ditch the Routine

The worst thing that can happen to your passion is the daily routine between you and your partner, especially if you’re living together. Who packs the dishes and who does the laundry can be a real downer and something you need to forget about for a while. This also applies to your bedroom, as sex sometimes becomes something that you just do without investing a lot of yourself in it. A good place to start is to start seducing your partner at times you don’t usually do. Getting intimate outside of the comfortable hours is an important thing, which is why we’re all attracted to unexpected. Also, there’s no reason why your bedroom should be the only place for your intimacy.

Travel Together

Like we previously stated, new places can be quite a stimulator when it comes to long relationships. Traveling to a destination where you’ve never been before will make you walk the streets together and do the things you might’ve forgotten about. Not to mention that you’ll have the needed time only for the two of you, which in itself is enough to get on this list. Romance takes effort, and anything new you do will inevitably affect it. Take your partner to a dinner or go to an event in the place you’ve picked as your travel destination and you’ll immediately see the difference.

Redecorate Your Bedroom

The bedroom is the most important room in one’s relationship and it should be treated as a shrine of sorts. Try to get rid of everything that serves as a distraction and you should have an easier time seducing your partner. It’s not always easy to set up your bedroom to be sexy and the most important thing about it is to really know and care about your partner. Long lasting relationships are all about respecting other’s wishes as well, so make sure you redecorate the room with that in mind and from there you’ll have an easier time spicing things up.

Dress Up For the Occasion

Remember the time when you took quite some time to dress when you were going on a date with your dear? The fact is, as time passes by and as our partner gets to know us, we usually invest less effort into looking great. Actually, looking like we’ve invested a lot of time in it. And not only that, but it’s also important to dress in a way that tickles your partner’s imagination. Bring out the unexpected look you’ve always wanted and take it a few steps further. Sometimes you can do this with your clothes, but it’s usually better just to go shopping and get something completely new.

Be Unpredictable

Some people enjoy being in their comfort zone, but most of us get more excited about the things that take us by surprise. Whether it’s sexting, or taking your partner to a striptease bar, you should always try to show that they don’t know everything about you. Being unpredictable can be difficult at times and it certainly takes some practice to get it right, but don’t be afraid to do it because of that. If your partner can guess what you’re doing at every point of the day then you’re clearly not doing something right. Intrigue is the name of the game here and it can be quite powerful when it comes to maintaining a relationship.

Roleplay

It might sound silly to you at first, but everyone loves roleplay. Not the act itself, but every single person had a crush on something or someone. Again, it’s important to know what your partner likes but it’s also important to take them up by surprise when you actually go on and do it. Whether you dress up as a maid or play the part of a naughty nurse, it’s up to you to figure out which one will work the best. It will put a giant smile on your partner’s face and he’ll immediately know that you’re a keeper. Don’t be shy, if you can share a bathroom you can also act a little bit.

Go Naughty

Alright, it’s time to put it out in the open. Sex life can be a disaster if it’s just happening the same way from day to day. Most of us still nurture a crush or two for a favorite actor or an actress and we’d love to have a chance to be with them. But you probably also love your partner and you want to build a long-lasting relationship, so it’s time to bring out the big guns. Here are some of the tips to really get things going in the bedroom.

  • Sex Toys – I know what you’re thinking, but these can be quite a game changer when used by couples. Go to a sex shop together and find the ones you’d love to test out together. If you can’t even talk about it with your partner, it might already be too late.
  • Hire Some Company – For the brave couples out there who really trust each other hiring a third person through Liaisons Brothel in Sydney can go a long way in revitalizing your sex drive.
  • Outdoor Intimacy – Just hear me out – it doesn’t have to end with sex. By simply going towards it you can already achieve your goal and let things wrap up in your bedroom. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with it even if you go for the home run. You wouldn’t be the first.

Conclusion

While sex life is a big part of any long-term relationship, it’s also what you do and how you behave towards each other that defines a good relationship. By sending a simple smile from across the room you can do a lot more than by saying something. In a different situation, a quiet ‘I love you’ will send shivers through your partner’s spine. The most important thing to remember is to always do your best and try to do something new. Relationships are built, they aren’t a gift from the sky. It’s just that some people need less effort to maintain them than others.

Never Tie A Knot Without Answering These 10 Questions

So you’re madly in love and you want to take your long-term relationship to the next level – marriage. The fact that you get along for almost a decade and sparks just light up whenever you look at each other’s eyes just validate that your partner is “the one.” It’s just like the movies, and you can’t wait for a sequel. But taking all the chick flick moments aside, what would remain? Are you best friends? Or merely cold strangers?

Older folks used to say that marriage is not like a hot spoonful of rice that you can spit out once you get burned. Unlike in young, shallow love, there’s no such thing as a “break-up” when you get married. It’s a lifetime commitment. Yes, divorce and annulment exist but nobody wanted to even go there. Upon wearing those rings, two persons vow to spend the rest of their lives with each other, for happiness and sorrow, and for better or for worse.

Before you say “I do,” here are 10 brutally honest questions you and your spouse should answer.

Why You May Need a Third Party in Your Relationship Part 2

Though the introduction of a third party to your relationship may not be a bad idea, such people should be people of integrity. Like I said in my previous post, God would not come physically to help you out during trying periods, but would definitely not leave you helpless, especially if you show that you need His help. And let me say again, He would most times work through people-sending friends, pastor, counselor, to mention a few, to help you during such period. The question is, “would you be sensitive enough to recognize the help?”
