HOW TO FALL BACK IN LOVE WITH YOUR PARTNER: TIPS FROM 10+ YEARS OF MARRIAGE

Speaking from 10+ years of marriage, I can tell you that long-term relationships require effort! If you’re willing to put in the work, the very, very, meaningful work, you can fall back in love with your partner over and over again for the rest of your shared life.

BE REALISTIC

The first thing is to recognize that just because the Hot & Heavy, Thoughts On Fire, Completely Consumed By Your Person brand of love has cooled off a bit does not necessarily mean that you’ve “fallen out of love” with each other.

RE-CONNECT

In setting aside time for purposeful play together, intimacy, date nights, whatever it is, it’s the intentional time spent together that really pays off.

Create a couple’s bucket list together and then start working your way through it… sharing new experiences is an excellent way to find yourself falling back in love with your partner!

INTRODUCE NOVELTY

You’re either growing together or growing apart, so celebrate your growth journeys to remain on the same team.

CELEBRATE GROWTH

GET AWAY TOGETHER

Traveling to new places is a novel experience that promotes excitement, but it also brings the two of you together because it’s the two of you against the world!
