How To Recapture That Spark In Your Marriage

By Ella Hemmings


It's easy to get so caught up in your day-to-day grind that you lose sight of one of the most important things in your life, your relationship with your spouse. It might seem hard to reconnect, but it just takes a little effort and imagination. Here are a few suggestions to help rekindle the spark.

Too often the problem is that you don't spend any time together, just the two of you, doing something fun. Make a promise to go out one night each week even if it's just for an hour or two. Go out for coffee, take a long walk, visit a local museum, pack a picnic lunch and head to the park or just enjoy a dinner for two and a movie.

Of course, your weekly date doesn't always have to be at night. You can head out to the local lake or harbor and enjoy some paddle boarding or a kayak trek. Go hiking in a cool, nearby wilderness area or enjoy a morning shopping for curiosities at a big flea market. If you both like golf or bowling, why not go and do that? Capitalize on any shared interest that you have. So often we spend weekends doing chores, but we really need to make a point to enjoy something fun together.

Readjust your attitude toward your spouse. Remember back to those days when you were dating and having fun? Being the girlfriend or boyfriend doesn't have to stop once you exchange your vows. Send a flirty text now and then or slip a sweet note into your spouse's lunch. Sometimes one spouse has to be the one to make the first move, but usually with a little effort, the other spouse will enjoy the attention and give some back.

Often a change of scene will kick start your marriage rejuvenation plan so don't be shy about asking family or trusted friends to watch your kids for a few days so that you can get away. You might take a long weekend and head up to the mountains or a cute bed and breakfast or perhaps somewhere tropical and tranquil. An island getaway, such as a trip to Maui, is a fantastic way to get out of the daily grind and enjoy some much-needed couple time.

If you do plan a Maui getaway, surprise your partner with a truly romantic gesture, such as a vow renewal ceremony right on the beach. Contact Love Maui Weddings and let these experienced Maui wedding planners handle all the details. They offer a special vow renewal package for just $299, entitled "Love, Always."
