Ways to bring Spark back into Your Relationship
- Remind yourself of the thing that made you to fall in love with your partner. As humans, things are bound to change with time and it is possible to allow the burning spark in our relationship to die down. When the oil in your lamp is low, refill the spark with great memories of the sweet moments when you started. Remind yourself how you felt when it all began.
- Communicate more and express your love daily. Communication is very important in relationship. Express your love daily and compliment your partner with words and deeds. This should be a routine.
- Be active and physical together. The lockdown has created opportunity for partners and families to have enough time to engage in sports, exercise, games, etc together. Have fun, take a walk together and enjoy physical contact of each other. This helps in bringing back mutual interest in the relationship.
- Go for a Date night and remember the good time shared together in the past. Remember your victories and failures together. And have mutual plans and goals together for the future.
- Be Grateful and appreciative for who your partner is. He or she is human and not an angel. So do not expect your partner to be a perfect person. Listen to your partner to understand his or her point before trying to make your partner understand yours. Do not compare your partner to another person. Every individual is unique.
- Relationship is give and take. Always think win-win and focus on what will bring mutual peace and happiness to the home and less of who is right. Remember that you should always give what you cherish in a relationship. Make emotional deposits and you will have something in the account to draw from when you need it.
I hope that with these few ideas above, it will help us bring back the spark in our relationships. The knowledge of the fact that we have a great relationship out there is an energizer that motivates us to move on with confidence in this period of uncertainty. It gives us strong hope when we remember that there is a loved one out there praying for us and thinking about our progress and well-being. So please despite the ups and downs in life, strive to be the best partner you can be. Get professional help if needed and remember to help someone by your side in this uncertain period.
