All couples are guilty of falling into a routine – it’s easy to let the once-bright spark dim.
Just be careful to not let the spark go out completely. If you’re truly in love, you need to step outside of your comfort zone and rekindle the passion every once in a while – snapping out of the ordinary!
So how can you spark new excitement? What are those romantic ways to escape routine? Here are seven of them.
1. Getaway for a While
A romantic getaway might be just what you need to spice up your relationship. It doesn’t need to be a fancy trip overseas – a short and sweet weekend getaway from London will do nicely.
The peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle could work wonders.
2. Amp Up the Flirting
Don’t become too settled. Whatever happened to the honeymoon period when flirting was at a 10 all the time? Ramp up the sexual chemistry a little! A compliment can go a long way, especially when you’re least expecting it.
If you’re feeling up for it, you could even try a bit of roleplay in the bedroom. Think of new ways of enjoying intimacy.
3. Spend More Time Apart
The old saying goes: absence makes the heart grow fonder. And it’s totally true. Spending time apart could stop your relationship from going stale.
A lack of one another means it feels even more special when you do eventually see each other after time apart. Don’t be scared of distance. Enjoying your freedom and independence is healthy.
4. Try New Things Together
Don’t get stuck in the same routine of dinner and drinks at the same restaurant or bar over and over again. Your date nights will get increasingly dull that way.
Instead, you should take the time to discover new activities and try out new things together. Be spontaneous and open up your eyes to a whole world of opportunity.
5. Talk about your feelings
Good communication is absolutely key for maintaining a healthy relationship. Learn how to open up to each other and express your feelings – no matter how hard you might find it.
Truly listen to what they have to say. Deep and meaningful conversations are the way forward. You’d be surprised at what paying each other more attention can do.
6. Try Double Dating
Switch update nights by having another couple join you. It’s a good way to reconnect with old friends and add a new dynamic to your usual dates.
7. Do Something Thrilling
Don’t get too comfortable! Build excitement in your relationship with something adrenaline-pumping.
And we’re not just talking about sitting down to watch a scary movie – we’re talking about truly thrilling and exhilarating – like ziplining, a skydive, or a trip to a theme park. Are you brave enough?
