Spice Up Your Relationship With These Five Tips

Relationships. We all crave them - both romantic and platonic, the contact that we have with others helps us to grow, thrive and shine. We look forward to the connection, the communication and the cuddles, and if we have the right person, we know that rush of lust that eventually settles into love. The only problem is that for a lot of couples, that settling in works a little TOO well.

Relationships are exhausting and rewarding in equal measure. When you live together and share a life together, boredom can set in and that excitement and lust that you felt at the start dissipates and settles into a deeper, more mature love. Yes, you still want each other, but it's just not the same as the visceral need for each other you had before. It happens, and this leads to romance being left by the wayside when really, it's all you're craving. The biggest mistake that couples make is not communicating with each other. If you need help from therapy, from Core Medical for sexual dysfunction therapy, from a doctor to check your hormones, getting that help is crucial. It's your responsibility as a couple to put everything that you can into your relationship - or walk away.

So, what you need is a way to spice up your relationship, and we've got a few ways you can do it.

Spice Up Your Love Life.

So, romance is nice and all but sometimes you just need each other - and you want it to be as passionate and fiery as it was in the beginning. Sex and that raw need for each other is usually there, but it's something that slowly fades over time. It's not a bad thing: life, kids, work - it all gets in the way. However, you have to pump your sex life back up and feel good together to spice things up. Keep things creative and make time for each other. Hop into each other's bath or shower and be adventurous (within boundaries!) with each other.

Take a Trip.

Getting away alone is so simple, but it can make a huge difference in the way that you feel for each other. You want to be happy and satisfied, and it's much easier to do that when the only things that you have to concentrate on are each other. It doesn't have to be fancy; you can book into a local hotel and still have a fantastic night together! Bring some games, some wine and have some concentrated conversation!

Choose An Activity.

Couples often lose sight of each other, but when they choose a new class or activity to do together, they can find some fun. Laughing is the best medicine to bring a couple together, and whether you do something you both suck at, or you choose something that makes you feel connected, you need a new activity.

Choose Space.

One of the last ways to get connected again is to give each other some room. You don't need to split up, you just need to miss each other a little bit. An overnight trip with your respective friends is a nice way to miss each other!
