We all know that keeping the spark alive can get hard when you have been together for so long. However, the idea that relationships are only exciting within the first year is false. It just requires effort. When you have been together a while the idea of breaking the bed sex is less interesting than cuddling up and watching your favourite Netflix series. However, you can keep and maintain that spark by trying some of our tips!

Make love vows to each other…

This is an easy way to ensure you are still putting in effort with each other by promising one thing that you will do each week for each other, this could be 15 minutes of foreplay or to do your favourite position. By this you are keeping it fun and light hearted and ensuring the spark stays in the sheets.

 

Check in with each other everyday…

It is important to check in on your partner to see how they are feeling. Asking them how their day was or just a hug can go a long way. Showing interest in your partner’s thoughts and feelings is a way of staying connected and making sure you are always on the same page 

 

No phone zone… 

Especially these days phones can be the biggest distractions for everyone. Take time out of your day to take some time away from your phone and share some quality time with your partner. Discuss your days or maybe get in the sheets!

 

Try new things…

Spicing it up in the bedroom is always a fun activity for couples. Browse online together for a new sex toy for you two to use together. Finding new ways to pleasure each other is a good way of connecting again and keeping things fun. Even try playing card games but everytime someone loses they have to remove an item of clothing of your choice. There is so much fun to be had without technology!  

 

Plan surprises…

Surprising your partner is a great way of keeping the spark alive. Planning a surprise date or dressing in their fave lingerie set you have is a great way of keeping things fun and getting yourself out of a rut. 

 

Maintain separate interests… 

Having your own hobbies and social circles is important in a relationship. Having time away from each other allows you to miss each other and feel excited to see them again. It is important to still do your own thing as in relationships it is so easy to morph into one person and do everything together.
