With relentless daily routines and many people burning the candle at both ends these days, it’s possible to lose sight of what really matters. You may have a huge workload in your workplace and job, you may have children to be taking care of every minute of the day, or even just taking one another for granted. For many reasons couples can lose that spice and passion within their relationship once they have been together for some time. But it doesn’t have to be that way. After all we hear of so many couples in their later years having lasted 30, 40 or even 50 years married. How do they do that? It’s simple, they place their relationships as one of their highest priorities. You may be wondering how you would do that. With a demanding job, a family, you may be thinking you have no time to spend on your relationship. However, avoiding the obvious may result in you looking at the directories for solicitors to end things, which in many cases is not what people want. But there are plenty of things you can do that take no time at all, that can help you get things back on track, that won’t break the bank, and could quite simply allow you to reconnect. Interested?

One of the most simplest ways to rekindle your marriage is to take yourself back to those earlier days of dating. Where you had butterflies in your stomach, nervous energy aplenty and got excited about the prospect of dressing up and looking wonderful for your partner. Those days may be long gone, but it doesn’t mean you can’t date one another after you have been together for a long time. A date night could be a simple meal out just the two of you, or a cinema visit on a cold Sunday afternoon. A few drinks in your local bar or even a walk in the park when you have a spare half an hour. It’s simple, but effective. Right now that might not be possible, so a date night in could also be on the cards. Dress up at home, cook a nice meal for the two of you to enjoy, put the kids to bed early, and enjoy spending time together once more. It is often the simple things such as time that can make the most difference. 

When you have been together for a few years the days of affection can slowly dwindle away.

You will welcome the attention you get from one another and it could help you to rekindle things in other ways.
