Moreover, it takes both of you to maintain your endearing partnership. Over the time, when you have kids and loads of responsibilities, you may feel your love life fading. But that isn’t true!
You just need to perk up yourself and showcase the real you in front of your partner and leave all stress at bay to enjoying a lasting and love filled relationship. Blindly follow these 9 tips to keep love blooming in your relationship:
1. Eat Together
The best way to enhance your bonding with your family is by eating together. Your dining area is the place where you are able to gain more knowledge about the latest happenings in your family members’ lives, about their thought process, attitude, etc. You can share your feelings and you will boast with the feeling that you have people who care about you. You are able to establish a lasting connection with your spouse and children and you can enjoy moments of laughter. Added advantage is that you will find every preparation tastier than ever!
2. Watch TV Together
Another tried, tested and successful way of adding a zing to your relationship is by watching TV together. Whether you don’t like to watch daily soaps that your wife watches and sobs for hours, try to be patient and involve in her likings. Similarly, if your husbands want to watch their favourite sport event, then instead of fighting for the remote control, sit and watch the match with him. If you both involve and understand each other’s likings, then you will surely love each other’s company more.
3. Communicate Without Hesitation
If you want to have a happy relationship, then it is important that you have an open communication line with your partner. Make it a practice that after you return home from work, have conversations with your spouse about all the day’s important events and accept the feedback too. Moreover, matters related to finance can be sensitive between couples. So there must be proper communication without argument or conflict in regards to discussions involving financial planning. Also make sure that you don’t have the need to hide a part of the information to be shared with your spouse or else you might become less trust worthy for your spouse.
4. Exercise Together
When you exercise together, you are more likely to have fun in your life. Exercising earlier used to be a part of your routine but when you exercise with your spouse, you are motivated to get better and better. You come to know about each others flaws and inspire the other to get themselves back to shape. Also you will become more active in your work and home life and will have more positive approach towards your relationship.

5. Frequently Go On Outings
Rather than going on family outings, or holidaying with friends, plan outings with your partner frequently. Whether small distance vacation or long distance, spending time with your spouse while disconnecting with the world, can bring back the excitement in your relationship. Such vacation will relieve your stress and tensions and will also give a new start to your relationship.
6. Small Gestures Make Huge Difference
The three magical words apart from ‘I love you’ are ‘sorry’, ‘please’ and ‘thanks’. Try to make most of these words with your spouse and you will express your mistake realisation, request and gratitude in the most humble manner. Many people don’t make use of these petty words leaving their spouse thinking as if he/ she is taken for granted in their relationship. Please ensure that you pass on smiles to your partner all the time to let him/ her know, what place they hold in your life!
7. Get Involved In Household Chores
While exercising together is fun, working together is even more exciting. It has been revealed that couples who share the household chores are more likely to enjoy their relationship. They are able to creatively manage the household work in an organized manner and they even get to know each other in a better way. Try appreciating your partner when he/ she works with you. Cook surprise meals for your partner and you will surely get a cozy surprise in return!
8. Sort Out Your Differences Before Sleeping
Avoid starting discussion on an argumentative note. If at all you argue over things, then ensure that you sort it out before you sleep. If you sleep angrily, then you are prone to have a debate the following day too. Rather take a break from your argument to calm your mind and convince your spouse to discuss about it the next day. Being empathetic while keeping your opinion is the best way to avoid a conflict.
9. Limit Nagging
After years of staying together, you are bound to grow as friends. But limit yourself in your friendship as you might end up mocking your partner, making him/ her feel disgraced. Don’t point out your spouse’s flaws upfront and keep nagging them about it. Don’t ever dare to do it in front of friends and guests or you may end up losing respect in your relationship. Accept your partner with all the flaws they have or have come up with recently. Don’t tease or nag them for their looks or fitness levels, rather express your true love to him/ her to keep them cheered up.
