Usually, this is the question couples might face after a few years or even after one year of being in a relationship or even marriage.
Some relationship loose the spark because of ROUTINE !!
I have been asked so many times, why my Relationship looks still exciting after 3 years, as if we just started to date.
I will show you how the initial dating phase feeling will never wear off if you follow these simple tricks.
Disclaimer: This is what ME and HIM do, to keep us entertained, to keep those butterflies flattering in your tummies, and to keep the sense of mystery that makes every relationship interesting. Just so you know, these things are not planned or thought, they come out naturally when you want to spice up the relationship, and because you truly love the other person. It might not work for everyone, but it did for me, it's worth trying.
1. Take some "me" time
This might seem odd for some, but trust me, sometimes it's important to take some "me" time. As in, HE should just go out for a beer with his friends and watch soccer, while SHE should just go shopping with her girlfriends. Being always glued to each other will cause stress to one or the other partner, so give each other a time out, even for just a day, but do it often, you will have more to talk about, and you will miss each other more which adds some little spark.
2. Organize and Dress up for a date night
Dressing up for a date night without any specific occasion, just because feels amazing, HE or SHE can can just ask for a date, it feels amazing when being asked, or when the your partner just organized something out of nowhere. This will guarantee nice chats, nice food, and an amazing conclusion at the end.
3. Focus on the positives instead of the negatives in your relationship. Just don't complain about your partners habits that much, try to focus on their positive sides. Comon, give them a break, nobody is perfect :)
4. Flirt with one another. And do it everywhere, even while grocery shopping, he can just grab her bum secretly and make her blush like crazy, or she can just lean in and kiss him out of nowhere ... just flirt with each other it's free, it's fun, and it spices up moments.
5. Joke around with each other. Laughing is good for the soul. Making one another smile no matter what, is always medicine for the soul and for the relationship.
6. Be honest about your feelings on a hot-button topic. Communicate your feelings. Tell him or her straight up about whatever issue concerns you, about whatever makes you feel weird, just TALK, communication is the key to everything and it makes your relationship more comfortable.
7. Team up in the kitchen and cook a new recipe. I might say this as an Italian since we all love to cook, but I must say, it does spice the relationship a lot, because you get to discover creative ways of one another, you will discover new ways of their gestures and movements, which spices up a lot the relationship.
8. Get a couple's massage. Just do it, trust me, do it.. organize it, use some nice lotion, a nice music in the background, and relax.
9.Take a trip together and try new hobbies. This is just like the cooking part, you discover more hidden talents from one another, discovering always leads to that WOW effect, discovering new things about your partner is something that makes a relationship exciting and it will make it fresh. It's like buying a new book all the time and you can't wait to read the whole thing.
10. Surprise your significant other. Just occasionally, surprise your partner with whatever, a nice meal, massage, just something that your SO loves, you know her/him best. Or to add even some more spice, PRANK THEM.
11.Remind her she's beautiful or that he's handsome. Complimenting one another is something a couple MUST do to keep the sparkles sparkling, everyone loves compliments but especially when they come from your partner. Just do it, it's easy, it's free.
12. His personal favorite - For the LADIES.. surprise your MAN with some sexy lingerie...Trust me with this ;) you will enjoy it as much as he will ...

Challenge yourselves in the relationship!
Don't hide your feelings for one another, show each other that you care, spice it up as much as you can, because it's fun, it makes a relationship freshen up, and you will never get bored from one another.
It's easy, it takes no time or effort, just creativity and courage.

I just starting dating someone, so we're nowhere near close to this stage yet, but I'm definitely going to keep these in mind. I'm trying to work on #3 because I tend to see the negatives before the positives, but I really don't want to seem like a downer around him. The only thing I complain about around him right now is his smoking, but that is scientifically bad for his health
We are at the hugging and kissing stage right now and it's amazing because I've never had a boyfriend before and never expected it to be so good. I adore it when he holds my hand while we're out in public. I'll have to remember the lingerie one if we make it that far
Ain't "all " relationships have to go through the "routine " stage it's a must , and I think what determines if this relationship is mature and true and honest etc. Is how you overcome this stage
Good tips.. These definitely look good.. Especially the flirting one (which was kinda nice), and the one where you compliment them.. I feel like you they are bored, then you will feel bored too.. LOL.. But, I'll definitely keep these in mind when I get into a relationship..
There's a lot of good advice here, but I might add that my wife and I have been married for 30 years, do a lot of these things, and we STILL have trouble keeping things fun and exciting. It's REAL easy to get into a rut, plus everything is expensive.
Go to a 2 dollar shop and buy 2 glass jars and small note pads. Put suggestions in the jars of what you would like your partner to do. They can be really sweet and simple or a bit naughty. The idea of this is to remind each other of some of the little things that can be done. Eg) watch the football with me. Eg) lets make out on the couch. Eg) learn to make my favorite cocktail. I'm not sharing some of the other suggestions 😍 We also sit and have a nice dinner on Friday nights and our kids know that when the candles are lit that it's mum and dad time.
great take, one of these tips for ladies is if things get a bit routine in the bedroom. she should be the one to initiate sex more, that will always be a huge turn on to guys
If it's only been three years you're not in a very long relationship. Not that I want to put a damper on it but I don't think this is really sage advice due to a lack of actual experience with boredom and stability in a relationship.
Sure, you might be right, but I know relationships that failed after 1 year because of boredom :) these might be some beginner tips, but I don't think that being active in every sense will make a relationship boring, no matter how many years pass, and obviously, it takes TWO to follow these "rules"
You have it backwards. If you're "spicing it up" after such a short amount of time you won't last. The less effort you need to put in the greater the odds of longevity because of a natural harmony that allows for it to carry itself; if all partners are consciously making these efforts within even five years it's going to terminate.
Because just as you said you've known relationships that failed after a year due to boredom. That means that the two individuals weren't that into one another to begin with. No amount of "spicing" would have saved them, just prolonged them, hence why it's bad advice. It's counter-intuitive.
