Is your relationship feeling a little stagnant? It’s easy to let your job, your social life and your family get in the way, and if your life has been a little hectic recently, it’s more than understandable if you’ve been missing some of the spark that you used to have. Injecting fun doesn’t have to be time consuming, though, my top ten tips don’t take much time at all...

Hide a note for him somewhere he will find it, such as in his lunchbox or wallet. Keep it simple, yet sexy. Something personal to you would be perfect, or something like “Meet me in the shower after work” would work too. Then, keep the promise! He’ll be gagging to get home to you, and you could even text him further instructions...it takes seconds, but is so effective!

Go to a shopping mall or supermarket, and take two $5 notes. Then, give each other ten minutes and $5 to get the best, most creative gift. Make it a routine! You’ll have to get more inventive and creative as you go along, and you’ll have fun while spoiling each other. It’s fantastic!

Get him to help you with your beauty routine...having a relaxing massage after your shower as he helps you to moisturize will give you time together and physical contact, as well as making sure you are well moisturized including in hard-to-reach places, which will keep you looking great too. The best way to spend time ever?!

Save water and time by showering together...don’t immediately jump into the sexy bit, though! Wash each other’s hair, and help each other to soap up. It’s a great bonding exercise, and will make an everyday activity that much more exciting! Plus, you’ll get fantastic hair, and a lower water bill.

Stop Arguing

Life is too short for arguing, and even the silliest argument can make your stress levels soar. Think about the things that never fail to cause an argument, and solve them with rock, paper, scissors instead. While it won’t work for big arguments, little ones will be solved much faster...its harsh, but fair!

Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with.

So you might know what he can’t resist you in and his favourite designer, but go one better and pick each others entire outfits. This is surprisingly fun, and very revealing. Just make sure you both dress appropriately if you are going out...

Whatever he likes, cook it for him next time you are free. From making his favourite meal to giving him fresh, homemade bread in his lunchbox or a home baked treat, you’ll remind him of all the great homely-type things, and keep him well fed. Easy!

Scribble him a romantic or sexy message on a post it note, and leave it on the fridge for him. He can write you a cute reply! It’s a great way to keep in contact when you are separate, and they make very cute memories and props for when you are feeling emotional.

Do something together. If you have the time, go for dancing lessons, or learn to cook together. If you have slightly less time together, buy two copies of the same book and read it together. You might have to search for one you’ll both enjoy, but reading together and discussing it is good for your relationship and your intellect!
