Routine Can Lead To A Rut Within Relationships

Life gets busy and it is easy to become a creature of habit.  Whether you are just dating, in an exclusive relationship or married, it is important to keep things fresh.  Mix it up a bit.  Instead of watching sitcoms on television, rent or download a movie and snuggle on the couch. Do you like to eat together, finding yourselves eating out a lot?  Try going to the grocery store together to buy food for a cooking date.  Food can be very sensual and even more so when you prepare it together, having fun, enjoying a glass of wine and sampling the meal as you cook, feeding each other tastes.  A massage exchange is always fun.  Light some candles, put on some music and relax.  Use your imagination allowing the element of spontaneity and surprise to excite your relationship.  It is great to plan, then you have things to look forward to.  It is also necessary to create surprises when least expected.  This not only shows how much you appreciate the other person, it keeps the spark you share together going.  Having fun together was one of the reasons you both started to date and it should always be a priority.  Explore, experience, share, give and receive.
