Give up dead routines
After the initial excitement of being together we all tend to fall into some routines in our relationships. One being that we think we know what the other one is thinking or feeling, some also feel that it doesn’t matter if they come home late, don’t make the effort to look as good or they start to take up new hobbies or spend more time with their friends. Many couples break down due to looking for instant gratification or fulfillment from outside sources as the relationship has become stale and boring. In time the relationship will start to fade away. How do you ensure it doesn’t happen to you?
Advice :
Snap out of ruts; dedicate a night to plan some exciting things to do that are both inexpensive and some that may require a little future saving.
“New stimulus- new spark”. Why do so many couples love going to a hotel…..its a new stimuli…its a guaranteed stamp that there will be some sparks flying while they’re there.
It doesn’t have to a hotel, it could be as simple as taking a walk to breath in the fresh air one week night after dinner instead of the routine of sitting on the couch being glued to the TV.
