No matter how hot and fiery your relationship was when you first got married, over the years of ho-hum living, it can become stale and boring - if you allow it to happen. There's no reason for this to take place in your relationship, however. Both of you are dynamic individuals who have been growing and changing throughout your lives together. Even though you think you know your spouse inside and out, there are probably a lot of new and exciting things that you've never experienced. The secret is to work hard to keep your partner interested and intrigued in your union.
When you get to this stage in your relationship, chances are good that your family is raised and you're facing empty-nest syndrome. Instead of feeling bad about what you no longer have, start spending more time with your spouse so that each of you can get to know the other better all over again. Maybe your marriage took a backseat to all of the other activities you were engaged in over the years, but now you have the extra time to give to your spouse and your relationship.
If life together seems boring, find some ways to liven it up. Change the routines you've fallen into to spice up your relationship. Talk it over and come up with new activities you could try together. It doesn't matter if it's ballroom dancing, bowling, or attending auctions to find items for a collection you start together. Any type of new activity will give you opportunities to talk and to find excitement in being together while exploring other facets of your lives. A new pastime will also help you hook up with new friends, and that can be a lot of fun.
Be spontaneous and do something that your spouse wouldn't expect you to do. Take her out for a romantic dinner or meet him at the door wearing black lingerie. You're a married couple, so anything you choose to do together is okay, as long as you both enjoy yourselves.
Many stale relationships have gotten that way because of a lack of communication between the partners. Connect by discussing feelings, desires, your love for each other, or just everyday life. Did you know that your spouse lived in a house with no running water and an outhouse when he was young? Has he ever told you what it was like going to a one-room school or playing on the high school football team? Explore facets of your spouse that you've never talked about before, and you'll begin to see each other in a whole new light.
