There was a time in your relationship with your spouse when you couldn’t keep your hands off each other. A kiss was always special, they both got restless when they were apart and couldn’t wait to be in each other’s arms.

So does it sometimes make you wonder where all that passion has gone? Now it seems like private moments are just another thing on your to-do list. Is there hope for a boring marriage? Of course there is, that is if you and your spouse are willing to work to bring the romance and passion back into your relationship. Often, it’s the demands of daily life that put a strain on your relationship and can cause the fires of enthusiasm to die down.

The demands of children and work, stress over finances, daily frustrations are often the culprits that bring your relationship back on the long list of priorities you have to deal with every day. The only way to regain the flame, really, is to commit to finding quality time with others. This means private time, away from the hundred other things you need to pay attention to and all the mundane daily tasks that need to get done. You can do this by spending a weekend away from the kids and other distractions like phone calls from the boss. Check into your favorite hotel or somewhere distant from where you’re staying, preferably somewhere where there isn’t much to do except enjoy each other’s company.

You can do a lockdown with your spouse in the honeymoon suite of your favorite hotel, where you would have to keep the door closed for the weekend. Restore vigor to your sex life by spending time away from all the usual demands of your life and focus on pleasuring your spouse. You can share a massage as a couple in a nice and relaxing spa, or you can also simply buy some aromatic oils and give each other massages.

Before heading home, you can go to a coffee shop and spend some time discussing what caused your relationship to fall into a boring rut. This is not a time to blame each other, but just a period of reflection that will make both of you understand the mistakes you need to prevent from happening again.

Two of those distractions in the bedroom are the television and the computer. So when you get home, you should try to turn both of them off whenever you want to have private moments with your spouse.

The secret to a passionate and lasting relationship is spending time with each other. This may not be easy when you have children, but even a weekly dinner is sometimes enough to reconnect and nurture the relationship.

Take time for each other. Consider this a way to ensure a long-lasting, divorce-free marriage that will grow stronger each year.
