TIPS TO KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE EXCITING

If you’ve been married for a while, you know that it can be natural for the love spark to dwindle. It is also common for couples to correlate a loss of spark as the end times of a marriage. I believe this is far from the truth. It is possible to rekindle your passion for one another even during an abundance of responsibilities. I have the secret. You ready? It’s…you guessed it…Prioritizing one another. This is one of the times in a marriage where problem solving comes in handy. You’ve identified something’s off, and we need to fix this for the sake of our marriage.

Maybe you don’t know where to start or how to identify if a loss of spark is the problem. Let’s start with defining what a loss of spark is. The spark is the butterfly, electrifying intense feeling you get when you’re with your partner. If you’ve ever felt this feeling (which most of us, if not all of us have felt) sometimes it can be unexplainable. Here are some identifiers on if you’ve lost the spark in your marriage:

⁃ There’s no physical touch

⁃ You’re less interested in spending time together

⁃ You don’t date anymore

⁃ You don’t make an effort anymore

If you’re thinking, “I don’t know if this person is for me because we can’t keep the spark alive in our marriage,” I want to challenge you to change your thought process. What you have discovered is that marriage is WORK and it takes constant work and maintenance to keep it functioning well. If you have identified that the spark has dwindled, you have a starting place. Here are some steps you can take to rekindle your spark:

Spend some time thinking about what your marriage looked like when the sparks were flying. Ask yourself, “What changed?” And “When did it start?”
Have an honest conversation with your spouse about the current status of your emotional state.
