Ways to Rekindle Your Love Life

The Written Word

Couples don’t say it enough but the 3 words I LOVE YOU seem to disappear with time. Just like the hint above, this is very simple but one of the nicest ways of saying I LOVE YOU there is. My husband used to work shifts so every now and then, (not too often or the surprise element is lost slightly), when I left for work, I would leave a note on the front room door so when he came down stairs from sleeping he would see I LOVE YOU written on a piece of paper. When I arrived back home from work he would have left but I would see his return comment underneath normally saying I LOVE YOU TO.

I kid you not, it will bring a smile to your face every time especially if you’ve had a bad day at work and need a cuddle.

Hanky Panky

Remember the good old days when you first met? At it like rabbits I bet!! You have now been together for several years and that desire to jump on your partner has somewhat fizzled out. Why is this? I think it’s down to a number of factors such as busy work lives, having children, stress, money worries but the most likely one is that you know if you want sex you can just ask for it and where’s the fun it that.

Sex sometimes feels like it part of the routine of what needs to be done and might as well get booked into your diary as an appointment because that’s as sensual as it will most likely get. The best sex is unplanned sex. After just having a child, sex is the last thing on my mind however after getting up at 3am to feed my baby, and waking my partner up as well (if I’m awake so is he) who would have thought that now would have been a great time to have sex. Its times like that, that bring the boom back to the bedroom. How chuffed was my partner, when waking for work 2 hours later, he had a smile on his face!

Another way of getting the spice back is to act like a pair of teenagers. Let your partner know in the morning that you want to have sex with him/her that evening. Keep making subtle suggestions during the day and what you are going to do to him/her and why not go out shopping together that day for sexy underwear or toys. If you are at work that day then why not send a naughty text or email reminding your partner of what is going happen on their return home.

Also don’t leave the magic for ‘bedtime’. Surprise your partner by starting the experience off when they walk through the door, home from work, with some foreplay. You may be thinking, core blimey I can’t be bothered with all this but just start thinking what your partner would say to it and I bet they would be more than happy. Remember, sex doesn’t always have to be booked in advance, at night-time, in the bedroom or boring!!!

My final comment is that you are hopefully going to be with this person for the rest of your life. It’s you and your partner against the world so make it a happy, loving and passionate place to be.
