- When you first dated, the focus was on the other person rather than the mortgage, the kids or deadlines at work. You couldn't wait to spend time together, and looked forward to those moments when you could focus entirely on your beloved. This attention makes your spouse feel special and desired, and creates sparks even in ordinary moments. Text "I'm thinking about you," or "I can't wait to get home," to your spouse during the day. Write love notes she can find around the house, like a romantic treasure hunt.
- Even when you live together, you can ultimately end up taking one another for granted, like a favorite piece of furniture. Even in the busiest lives you can fit quality time together. Regularly meet for lunch during the week, or enjoy a weekend picnic at the park. Create a specific date night where your spouse takes priority. Make that time together special. Dress up, wear makeup for him and buy lingerie to feel sexy and beautiful.
- A way to break out of the ordinary and get rid of the rut is to do new things together. Make it a habit to try something new regularly, whether it be a new restaurant or activity. Take a class together where you learn something you've always wanted to try, like a language or a dance or pastime. Take a weekend trip to a town you've never been to that may be just within a hundred mile radius of your home.
- Physical intimacy plays a big part in keeping you connected to your spouse and rekindling the romance between you. It doesn't always have to be sex, either. Make it a point to touch each other in loving ways throughout the day, such as kisses or holding hands. Don't be shy about heating things up in the bedroom. Keep your relationship playful and adventurous. Play a game of strip poker one night when the kids are at grandma's, or check out that lingerie shop on the outskirts of town. Book a hotel room just because, and have flowers and Champagne waiting once you arrive.
