How to Keep Your Relationship Fun and Fresh

Remember that famous scene from the movie When a Man Loves a Woman where Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia are in a bar, and Meg seduces him right there and then. Other people at the bar are completely stunned. This couple obviously enjoys spontaneity, adventure, and displaying open affection. Would you and your mate do something like this?

Any relationship can last for years as long as the couple keeps open communication between each other, not be afraid to try something different, and simply enjoy life! Couples that have been together ten, twenty, or thirty years must have some secret. What could it be?

How about doing something completely out of the ordinary? Try water skiing, mountain climbing, or sky diving. Whoa! Now those are different activities to share with your partner. Okay, perhaps these are too adventurous. How about trying something new, in regards to your sex life? Oral/anal sex, bondage, or taking turns being the initiator/aggressor are other possibilities. Watch X-rated movies together or live one another’s sexual fantasies. What about doing something where the two of you are intimate (but with clothes on)? Couples could take dancing lessons (ballroom, salsa, country, etc.). Or, if you are both intellects, join a book club or create one at your local library or bookstore.

Keeping the love strong can be difficult for both partners, especially in this busy 24/7 world we live in. But following the same daily routine can only lead to distance and disaster. Relationships end, children are hurt because parents divorce, and a simple, complacent life appears. Nobody wants that.

Traditional ways of keeping the love alive can also be fun, especially if it’s something the two of you have not engaged in, in a long time. For instance, have a picnic at a park or at the beach, go on a roller coaster ride, or socialize with other couples by having a BBQ. For couples to keep the love alive, each partner has to be a willing participant.

Why is it on Valentine’s Day, couples go all out by surprising each other with special gifts or sudden displays of affection? Usually, it’s the woman who values this day more than the man. Loving couples should consider every day as Valentine’s Day. Take a long bubble bath together, give each other a long, sensual massage, or a take a moonlit walk along the beach. If children are part of your lives, wait until they fall asleep, and then have a candlelight dinner, play some soft, slow music, and relish being in each other’s arms.

Simple little reminders of love can also maintain a relationship. Write a short message on a sticky note and leave it on the bathroom mirror, telling your mate you love him/her. Also, ladies send your man a love letter, either through email or postal. Men, write your special lady a love poem (use the Internet if you have no poetic abilities). Together, cook a new dish together in the kitchen to eat, and then cook together, by having each other (hey, everyone loves dessert)!

When was the last time you had sex right then and there, no matter where you were? Remember your first year of dating when spontaneous sex was intense and fun, especially if caught? You would both go at each other like animals in heat—in the office, in an elevator, in a hot tub, in the car, or anywhere the urge hit you. Being sporadic creates an exhilarating moment!

Affection is the key to a long-lasting relationship. Understanding that new activities, no matter how adventurous or crazy it may sound, can also make love last. And finally, be spontaneous; go ahead and do whatever tickles your fancy!
