Spice Up Your Love Life
Isn’t love exciting? It makes your heart beat faster, fills you with butterflies and increases the release of happy hormones into your brain. Unfortunately, it can be all too easy to let the stresses and seriousness of life distract us from the fun aspects of a relationship, which should never be neglected. Here are a few ideas to ensure the spice and spark in your relationship never fade.
Commit to a Date Night
You may spend lots of time with your partner, but how much of it is quality time when you’re able to focus on each other? Dedicate one night per week or per fortnight to having a fancy dinner, enjoying a picnic in your favourite outdoor spot, going to the beach to watch the sunset or giving each other a massage. Make this time for each other to remind yourselves of the traits and qualities that brought you together in the first place. Be truly in the moment with your partner and put your phone away so there are no distractions!
Be Spontaneous
Excitement comes from the unknown, so try to do things that are unplanned and unexpected - we become bored when every day is the same, after all. Catch your partner off-guard with a long kiss, dare them to get frisky in public, make an impromptu visit to your favourite romantic place or buy your partner something special for no reason other than to surprise them.
Talk Dirty
Conversation between partners should be more than just “how was your day?” and “what’s for dinner?” - make your other half think about you with a sexy message while at work, at the supermarket or even picking up the kids from school. It can make a mundane task more exciting and turn an average day into one filled with wild thoughts that make them want to rush home to you. Describe what you want to do to them, and vice versa, to let them know you want them.
Try Something New Together
Get out of your comfort zone or have a new experience to make more memories with your partner. Mixing up your weeknights or weekends can certainly bring the good vibrations back into your relationship. Best of all, these can be everyday things such as trying a new sport together or rating the best bars in your city, as well as experimenting behind closed doors come nightfall (think new sexual positions, toys and roleplaying).
Leave Reminders of How Much You Love Them
Go back to basics and write something sweet, funny or sexy for your partner to find - it’s a great way of making them think about you when you’re not around and is more exciting than the usual WhatsApp message. Write messages into the steam on the bathroom mirror or leave post-it notes on the fridge. Here at NoteCube, one of our partners scratches words of affirmation into banana peel so that she’s reminded of him during her mid-morning snack - too cute!
With up to 60 individual notes available in a NoteCube, you can surprise your partner with a new note every day until they have the full set!
