Ask the Marriage Maven: Seven Marriage Spice Ups
Q. My marriage is getting pretty dull. My husband and I are going through a low point where everything seems to be pretty boring. What are some things that we can do to spice up our marriage?
D.M.
A. First of all know that every marriage goes through it’s high and low points. You guys are just in a natural part of the cycle. With that said, here are a few suggestions to make your marriage a little more interesting.
1) Stop complaining about the state of your union. Create an action plan for change and write it down. Its okay if youre the only one willing to spice things up at first. In time youll find that your spouse will be receptive to the changes youve made, especially if you dont point out your changes or nag your spouse about changing.
2) I cant say it enough, turn off the T.V. at least 30-45 minutes a day and spend time with each other. No distractions.
3) Date each other as if you werent married. Dress up, wear make up, cologne/perfume. Recreate your early years. Meet each other on site and pretend as though youre meeting for the first timeor have your partner pick you...
